Chapter Summary
This chapter provided an overview of how a hotel is structured to deliver a complete guest experience. We distinguished between the guest-facing Front of the House and the supportive Back of the House. We then explored the key operational departments: Rooms Division (Front Office and Housekeeping), Food and Beverage, Sales and Marketing, Engineering, Human Resources, Accounts, and Security. The key takeaway is that a hotel is a complex operation where every department has a vital role, and success depends on their ability to work together as a cohesive team.
