The front office staff might lack motivation sometimes as they do the same work repeatedly on a daily basis and usually their pay are the lowest compared to other staff. This is a very important fact to take note of as this might affect the profitability and efficiency of the company as this staff member will directly deal with customers the most. This staff member might have high stress levels as they might have to deal with bad-tempered customers and a lot of complaints, making it hard to maintain good services.

One of the biggest challenges that front office staff might face in the hotel industry would be over booking. These bad communication and organisation skills might lead to a bad reputation for the company and unsatisfactory services to customers.

Front office staff should receive continuous training as this will improve their customer service. Salary increases can also provide more motivation.

The phone system could be configured in such a way that the company can track the calls that are missed by the front office. This can help them get back to the customers as soon as possible.

Receptionist is the face of the hotel, who starts creating a first/last impression. The person has to posses a multitasking skill in order to excel in this role - you have to attend the person in front of you (walk in customer), respond to the call, reply to the queries of different departments like - house keeping, restaurant, reservations. And do not forget to smile and provide best possible service without trace of stress.
