A Day in YOUR Life as a General Manager


Every person that enters a hotel should be greeted and feel like a guest As you approach the hotel each morning you prepare yourself for a day like no other day you have had before.

Every day is a new challenge and by the end of the day a new success story.

You walk in to the hotel with a smile, say hello to passing guests and acknowledge your team perhaps with a smile, nod and salutation or when business permits you stop to share some pleasantries.

These are YOUR guests and YOUR team.

You set the standard for hospitality in your hotel and although you may not own the hotel financially you own the culture, the work ethic and the creativity behind the success of every day.


Are you tired yet? It is not even lunch time Your day continues maybe with housekeeping or preventative maintenance inspections, one on one meetings with your leadership team, weekly / bi-weekly strategy sessions regarding, sales and revenue, operations, or food and beverage business or a check in with our team at head office.

As a leader not only in your hotel also in your community it is very possible that today you are attending the local tourism association, business area association or other relevant group meetings.

You must stay in tune with what is going on in our neighbourhood, city, province and country. After all your guests come from all over the world and they have expectations that our hotel and staff are the doorway to their excellent experiences while visiting us


By now you may have had coffee or lunch with a guest, corporate client or team member and at some point you have to fit in the inevitable "paperwork".

Luckily our company has shifted to a web based payroll and HR system with this as well as the Property Management system, brand web portals, Purchase Order System, and Point of Sale System your administrative work although still required should be efficient and save our trees You may be approving purchase orders, reviewing HR requirements such as time off requests, schedules, position changes, performance evaluations or responding to customer care cases via the brand.

There is a lot to stay on top of however, if you develop daily, weekly, monthly habits with each system you will breeze through this part of the job to allow you the appropriate focus on guest, employee and community engagement.


When it is time to leave the property for the day you do so as you arrived you engage with your team and you motivate them to keep up the standards you have set for the business even when you are not there.

You are more than satisfied that your efforts today have made a positive impact for your team, your guests and our company.

Thank goodness you already reached your step count for today just in your daily work activities Get some rest we do this again tomorrow
