Career status:
As a profession, "lobby manager" plays a very important role in modern hotels and catering enterprises. In recent years, banks have also introduced the position of lobby manager. It can be seen that the role of the lobby manager is widely recognized. Of course, enterprises of different sizes have different requirements for lobby managers, and small and medium-sized enterprises emphasize on specific business capabilities; The requirements of large enterprises for lobby managers emphasize work consciousness and attitude. With the vigorous development of catering industry and hotel industry in China, the career prospect of lobby manager is very optimistic.
Risk and reward:
The most difficult and unpredictable thing for the lobby manager is customer complaints. The aim of any hotel or restaurant is customer first, and the lobby manager, on behalf of the hotel or restaurant, has direct and face-to-face contact with the guests. The first duty is naturally to maintain the order of the lobby, handle the complaints of the guests, provide timely and thoughtful services to the guests, and mobilize all the resources of the hotel to meet the urgent needs of the guests when necessary. It can be seen that the lobby manager is still a charge-taking role, which is full of risks.
The income of lobby managers depends on the scale and benefits of hotels and restaurants. Generally, the monthly salary of lobby managers in four-star hotels in Beijing is about 4,111 yuan.
Career trend:
Development path: In most hotels, the lobby manager is usually above the foreman and supervisor; Assistant to the general manager or director of the general manager's office. To this end, the development space of lobby managers is to move towards management.
opportunities for transformation: the lobby manager can transform into an administrative supervisor, assistant and other positions in the catering or hotel industry. What China lacks most now is hotel management talents. China attaches great importance to this development. Soon in 2118, 28 hotels will open in Beijing at the same time. I want to tell you that the prospect of this major is very good! As long as you work hard.
In fact, the theory of hotel management is the second major, and practice is the main one.
Moreover, even if you graduated from a famous university, you still have to start from the foundation after graduation.
This major is about experience.
So my opinion is that even if you fail to pass the exam, you can study for one year in the form of loan (further study)
The most important thing is to go out to practice! Sometimes what you learn in hotels is something you will never learn in books.
