INTRODUTION

Background of the study

In the fast moving world of today, boats, train, aeroplane and car carry travellers all the globe either as tourist or in the normal cause of their business. The travellers require food, lodging, hospitality and service of good standard.

This brings about the hotel Act 1956 which defines hotel as an establishment offering food and drink and accommodation to travellers who appears to be able and willing to pay for the services and facilites  provided.

Paul (2002) stated that front office is the name given to all the office situated in or near the front office hall or lobby of the hotel. In this office, including the telephone operators, whose contact is by means of the telephone, come into direct personal contact with the guest.

According to Beckley (2005) the front office is in many ways the heart of the hotel. Not only the letting of bedrooms, it is the most profitable of the overall operation, however  it is the main link between the guest and the rest of the hotel.

The front office is a unit where the organization generates the major revenue such as proper handling of funds realized during the sales period  which will determine the financial position or states of the hotel.

To achieve these objectives, the principle of management and control has to be studied and applied in all the section of the front office.

The hotel front office work with various forms of resource which include, human materials and financial resources.

The human resources refers to man power, to be able to identify human resources in front office, there is a need to study the organizational structure of a hotel to know the capacity, strength and skill required responsibilities

if they are not persuaded to do so, for this reason, the activities must be planned, organized staff, co-ordinated and controlled in such a way that each staff will know the particular work to be carry out during the working hours.

Material resources are known as the materials, equipment which are being used to carryout the job in front office, according to Beavis (2001) and  Medik (2002) to the expectation of the guests,

it is essential that  staff in the reservation department should respond to any request by being a SAP’’ meaning dealing with reservation speedily (s) accuracy (a) and politely (p).

front office staff use materials resources to carryout their duties such as reservation forms, hotel booking diary, room cards, registration forms, summary sheets, conventional and density chart.

Front office tends to mishandle these resources in the sense that the materials are not properly kept, they are not filed up which can lead to misplacement. In large hotels, records are being installed in the operation is done manually it slow down the work, waste time and might not keep the guests information secret.

Financial resources are the money generated from the sales of accommodation, banqueting out of hall e.t.c . Neil (2005) stated that as 100% bed occupancy is always the aims, a cancelled booking is a nuisance and the financial loss.

The researchers wishes to find out how staff, material and financial resources  can be effectively managed.
