The duties of the operator include the receiving of all incoming calls and connecting them with the required extensions, long distance call service, wake-up calls, taking messages for guests, etc. As soon as the incoming call is answered by the operator, the caller commences to be charged; therefore prompt attention and a speedy connection are imperative. If the required extension is engaged, the caller should be invited to “hold the line”, “ring back”, or “leave a message”. A well-run hotel with efficient Front Desk staff will not appear as good as it actually is if the operator is not well trained and polite. Sometimes a guest contacts with a hotel only over telephone, so the speed and manner with which the call is handled can leave a lasting impression to the guest, either good or bad. In addition, operators need a clear, friendly voice, the tone of which indicates courtesy, patience and cheerfulness. Guests can either dial their own local calls themselves or obtain them through the hotel operator. When the guest dials the call personally it is automatically recorded, and metered on the meter panel in the bills office. The telephone charges are then posted to the guest’s account and the meter resets to zero.
