What does the day look like?
The working day follows an 8-hour or 12-hour rotating shift schedule: morning (07:00 to 15:30), afternoon/evening (15:00 to 23:30), or night shift (23:00 to 07:30). Because hotels run 24/7, weekend, holiday, and overnight shifts are mandatory. Work is conducted using Property Management Systems such as Oracle Hospitality OPERA (OPERA 5 or OPERA Cloud), Amadeus Hospitality, protel PMS, or Cloudbeds, alongside ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions (VingCard) or dormakaba key encoders and Verifone or Ingenico payment terminals.
Guest communications and resolving complaints (billing, room noise, missing amenities) take up 30% of the shift. Transactional check-in and check-out—verifying IDs, taking card deposits, and programming keycards—accounts for 25%. Another 25% consists of administrative tasks: auditing vouchers, balancing the cash drawer, and entering tourist registration data into systems like E-Mehmon. Preparing for arrivals and reviewing VIP lists takes 15%, while the remaining 5% involves coordinating luggage storage and lobby assistance.
