In a typical hotel setup, we recommend the following departments/sections/individuals to handle various modules:
- Guest link module – Guest Link section of Front office department
- Guest Relations module – Guest relations section of Front office department
- Polls module including employee’s list – Human resource department
- Overall coordination of all modules – Deputy GM, Operations Manager, Resident Manager or GM.
- Initial configuration of GuestlinkPro system – IT Department in conjunction with the Guestlinkpro Champion.
The manager who bares the mandate of coordinating operations of all hotel/motel departments e.g Operations Manager, Deputy General Manager or the General Manager would be best suited to be the GuestlinkPro Champion. For more insight on the key responsibilities of the GLpro Champion click here
