a. Study the information about different organizational structures of hotels.

  1. The Structure of a Hotel

The day-to-day operations of a hotel are the key factors determining the success or failure of its service. It is necessary to understand the structure of hotels in order to get an overview of how the organization fits together.

Regardless of the size of a hotel, the organizational structure will be basically the same. It is usually divided into several distinct departments, each responsible for a particular area of work.  

The larger the hotel is and the more facilities it offers, the more specialized the departments become.

The typical structure for a small hotel offers both accommodation and catering. Staff members carry out1 a variety of tasks within their general area: (e.g. the restaurant staff will also deliver room service and serve tea and coffee in the lounge; the receptionist will handle reservations, check-in and check-out, billing, mail and switchboard, etc., manager and assistant manager will handle2 a variety of administrative and decision-making tasks.

In a larger hotel, it is possible to organize staff into more clearly defined departments, each with a supervisor or department head (in a medium-sized hotel) or a manager (in a large hotel). There will also be more specialized staff, because the hotel can afford to employ more people - and there will be more work for each person to do.

In a medium-sized hotel, there might be a manager and one or more assistant managers, who supervise operations (probably on a shift basis, so that there is some managerial supervision seven days per week).

The “branches” of the chart show how roles and responsibilities are divided up into sections or departments. The management of the hotel shown above is divided into two basic divisions: the Rooms Division and Food & Beverage. The Rooms Division is, in turn, divided into four basic functions: Front Office, Housekeeping, Maintenance and Security.

The vertical connecting lines of the chart are also lines of authority3 and reporting. So, for example, reservations staff report to4 the Front Office Manager, who reports to the Rooms Division Manager.

The connecting lines of the chart are also lines of communication and liaison5. So, for example, it is clear from our chart that staff in the reservations, reception and cashier sections need to communicate with each other: each contributes something to the overall work of the Front Office. At the same time, there is a line connecting reception and maintenance, say: if a guest comes to reception and says that her TV isn‘t working, or her window doesn't open, reception will have to liaise with maintenance to make sure it gets fixed.

4. What does the organizational chart of a hotel show?

5. What do the vertical connecting lines in the chart show?

6. How is the communication and liaison between different hotel departments reflected in the chart?  

7. What departments report to the general manager?

8. What basic divisions is the management of a hotel divided into?

9. What functions is the Rooms Division subdivided into?
