It's about Front Office Department

The FRONT OFFICE is the nerve center of a hotel. Members of the front-office staff welcome the guests, carry their luggage, help them register, give them their room keys and mail, answer questions about the activities in the hotel and surrounding area, and finally check them out. In fact, the only direct contact most guests have with hotel employees, other than in the restaurants, is with members of the front-office staff.

The front office functions can be divided into five general areas:
1. reception
2. bell service
3. mail and information
4. concierge
5. cashiers and night auditors

Two major departments are represented in this list. The employees staffing the first four areas are in the rooms department. The fifth is the financial area, where guest charges are accumulated and posted to the bills, and all cash transactions are consummated. These are all accounting-department functions, and so the cashiers and night auditors are in that department.

The Front Office function of a Hotel is to act as the public face of the hotel, primarily by greeting hotel patrons and checking in guests.
