Question:

The Duke Hotel is a popular hotel that runs a 24/7 front office, business centre, reception and on-site cafe. It is situated on a busy highway and is often used by overnight travellers, businesspeople and long-haul truck and freight drivers.

It is a large hotel with 135 various rooms and runs multiple services 24 hours a day and this requires adequate and appropriate staffing in the front office to manage the operational needs of the customers, cleaning and kitchen.

Maintaining appropriate staffing levels in the Front Office with relevant experience and abilities is at times a difficult task for The Duke. The majority of the staff are cross trained and have been with the Duke for a long time and so know the operating procedures very well.
