Convention services managers coordinate all hotel activities related to meetings. They meet with clients and plan a schedule. Then they work with the food service and front office managers to feed and lodge the visitors. All these managers hire, train, and supervise the members of their staff. In addition, they have administrative tasks, such as writing reports about their area.
Assistant managers report to the general manager several times a week.
Other assistant managers are responsible for accounting, marketing and sales, and maintenance. Managers of small hotels and motels perform different duties than managers of larger businesses. This is because there are fewer employees in small businesses and managers are more likely to fill in for absent workers. Thus a manager may clean rooms, take reservations, or make general repairs. Managers in small hotels and motels have many administrative tasks.
