About the role
This interview covers the practical control of a hotel front desk during a busy shift. The panel is looking for accurate room and payment handling, calm guest recovery, useful coaching and clear coordination with the wider hotel team.
How to prepare
- Review how room status, arrivals, departures and special requests move through a typical property management system.
- Prepare an example of resolving a guest complaint without promising something the hotel could not deliver.
- Practise explaining how you reconcile cash, card and transfer payments at the end of a shift.
- Think of a time you coached a front office colleague and measured whether performance improved.
- Map the information that should pass between reception, housekeeping, maintenance and security during a handover.
Common mistakes
- Offering compensation before understanding the complaint and the available authority.
- Ignoring payment controls while focusing only on friendliness.
- Describing supervision as giving orders rather than setting expectations and coaching people.
- Failing to record actions for the next shift or another department.
