The hospitality industry can be defined as a category of fields within service industry which include event planning, lodging, transportation and also additional fields in the tourism industry. The industry mainly depends on availability of leisure time and disposable income and is focused on customer satisfaction and meeting leisure needs rather than basic needs as most of other industries do.
The industry’s backbone encompasses customer service (CRM), which is a concept shared by all the segments of the industry with three major categories within which are food and beverage, accommodations and lastly travel and tourism. It’s no secret that food and beverage reigns supreme as it is the largest element of the industry and it takes the form of catering establishments, fast-foods eateries and also restaurants among others where CAFM EPOS (Point-of-sale) systems is active.
Accommodations include hotels, bed and breakfast enterprises as well as other places offering lodging services. Therefore, comfort, efficiency and attentive customer care and service should be upheld as the foundation, this is where we utilize CAFM Room Booking and also CAFM Hotel Channel Manager.
Travel and tourism is the other principal segment of the hospitality business, it includes airlines, ships, trains among others. Vacationers and business travelers form the basis of this segment.
Facility management is devoted to coordination of people and also space, often associated with administration for example of hotels, in the hospitality industry. Therefore, it is important to be incorporated in the hospitality industry or business as it important in renovating processes in the industry. However, there are some owners and operators of the businesses who do not value the importance of facility management as a tool in the business. The challenge for hotel managers for instance is how to utilize the discipline of the facility management approach to renovation projects without adding a layer of administration.
Professional facility management service is important for the various reasons which include; to recover from natural disasters such as earth quakes, to cope with governmental requirements, to comply with new trends and technology in the markets, to upgrade the business to a higher category for example a four-star hotel to a five-star, to maintain corporate standards and image, to improve operation efficiency so as to increase productivity, to increase or maintain market share by satisfying customers and also to keep up with competition among other advantages.
