Managing properties, restaurants or lodgings can be difficult for those who do not know how to meet the needs of the guests that may be staying with them. So let's talk about it. What is truly important for those in charge and what needs to happen within the staff to ensure the satisfaction of the clientele? Here are 3 things you need to have in order to run a good business with a high rate of recurring customers.

Essential #1

Managing people is not the same as leading people. If you want your property to do well, your general manager or designated person in charge should be a great leader that everyone can lean on and look up to. This is someone who encourages the staff to keep morale up. Your leadership team should also be taking charge of the property and ensuring all guests have a positive experience at your establishment. Someone who is passive and does not take responsibility or someone who is unwelcoming is not the best fit for business. Ensuring that your staff is under the best care will bring more positive feedback from them but will also be reflected in the guests visiting.

Essential #2

Technology is the next essential item to hospitality. Offering good streaming and surfing opportunities to guests boosts you a lot when it comes to picking a hotel to stay at. So splurge on a good internet service, and provide guests with internet opportunities inside and outside of their room. With many people working from home following the pandemic, many people are going to be looking for places to get work done, and with that is a fast and strong internet connection. Taking a few extra steps to keep technology up to date in your hotel is going to respond well among guests.

Essential #3

Get Involved in the community. Many people will be drawn to hotels and lodging that are more intertwined with their community and participate in local events. Keep up to date with events going on in your area that would include conventions, sports competitions, or other gatherings. Knowing these will allow each hotel to capitalize on the number of guests they can bring in each night. Bringing acknowledgment to these events will boost the rapport with potential guests for your property. Ensure that your hotel or lodging facility has good marketing that will ensure your name reaches every event coming near you. You never know who may need a place to stay!
