FOREWORD

dexterity, and others.

Hotels are the main generator in the tourism industry. Hotel management ensures that all

operations involved, including accommodation, food and beverages and other hotel services can

run smoothly.

The achievement of objectives in a hotel management organization is the success of an

organization, but the problem of human resources is very influential on the achievement of the

objectives of the organization. In achieving the success of the goals of the organization there are

One of the most important departments of every hotel staff is human resource

management. Proper human resource management can distinguish between running a hotel very

well or poorly in a hospitality industry. The human resource manager can control the hotel

almost entirely. This makes the importance of human resource management for the hotel.

The employees employed at the hotel can really change the quality of service and the

overall atmosphere of the hotel. This means that it is very important to choose workers who are

optimistic, workers who are dedicated to each position. It is the job of the human resource

manager to ensure that good and qualified people are selected to work at the hotel.

Employee retention is a big problem in the hotel services business. Because so many

employees do not have hotel work as an end to their careers, many of them only work in hotels

for a short amount of time. Other employees may have to leave because of poor work ethics or

other matters.

However, there are ways that human resource managers can curb some desires and the

possibility that employees will move to other jobs quickly. The importance of human resource

management for hotels is enormous in this field. Managers can provide good training and

incentive programs that will cause employees to stay longer at the hotel. Having a clear

development plan to progress to a higher level, service will also cause employees to last even

longer. The issue of employee development and promotion, another big issue for the hotel

industry. Hotels that provide a way for employees to advance in positions, or provide training for

employees so that they can obtain the skills needed for advanced positions are very important for

employee retention rates.

thousands of ways that a human resource manager can make a hotel run more smoothly and more

Manager for Hotel managers. The background and training required varies with the title of

management and the tasks involved.

such as the Regional Vice President who oversees hotel properties and some General Managers.

Working Conditions Hotel managers are generally subject to long shifts that include late hours,

weekends, and holidays due to 24-hour operations of a hotel. The general workplace in a hotel is

and other managers. Top management consisting of senior managers, heads of departments, and

General Managers can enjoy a more desirable work schedule consisting of workdays which is

more traditional and has weekends and holidays off. Depending on the size of the hotel, the hotel

manager's day may include scheduling breaks, including windows for check-in or check-out,

handling cash, reconciling bank accounts, writing reviews for employees, disciplining employees

property. The manager's responsibilities include knowing about all current local events as well as

events held at the property for free casino guests.

in hotel management. Large hotels always have a management team, where

each team member supports a specific area of interest.

The hotel manager is responsible for efficient and profitable operations

for their company.

The hotel general manager manages finance, housekeeping, service

and food quality, decoration and interior and the establishment of norms that

must be followed by staff while providing their services to guests, and others.

Meanwhile, the task of the Assistant Manager is to discuss the day-to-

day operations of the department.

here include: providing information, making room reservations and

taking care of check-in and check-out, in addition to tasks performed

by the Personnel Department. Almost all activities in the front office

are related to guests, both directly and indirectly. the front office has an

important role in the operation of a hotel. As Valen (1985: 24) said, in

his Check-in check-out, the Principles of guest activity is actually the

guests.

the success of an organization, but the problem of human resources is very

influential on the achievement of the objectives of the organization. In

achieving the success of the goals of the organization there are ways to control

the problem of human resources or members in order to minimize the

occurrence of irregularities. One way to be able to minimize any deviation that

will result in not achieving the objectives of the hotel management

organization as expected, then as a manager in a hotel organization is through

the implementation or application of operational management seven, among

others:

1. Set the Target of Hotel Operations Management. With the goals or

targets of the activity, the direction and focus of activities becomes

clear so that there are burdens and responsibilities of members to

achieve them.

Page 8: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

3

regarding what and how employees should act so that they will work or

work according to procedures or according to track / track so that hotel

operations can be achieved properly.

3. Assignment. A clear division of tasks will also divide the burden of

responsibility towards each employee so that each employee has a

target that must be achieved, namely the results of the activities that

employees have done.

4. Implementation of Duties, After the division of tasks, each employee

is required to carry out their respective duties because it is a form of

performance that must be carried out by members according to the

leadership's orders.

5. Direct Supervision and Control). With direct control, each member's

activities whether routine or operational or incidental will be more

hotel employees who are disgraceful; and the organizational goals or

objectives of the planned and implemented activities will be achieved.

implementation of the task becomes a concrete manifestation of the

results of the implementation of the tasks of the members who have

finished. With this report, it can be known or mapped the quality of the

results of the task or the success of the task, whether there is progress /

progress or even reverse experiencing a setback or failure.

7. De Briefing (analysis and evaluation meeting). De briefing aims to

analyze and evaluate the results of the implementation of the task

(report on the implementation of the task) by the employee. Are there

any deficiencies or deviations that need to be corrected besides

whether there is a need for reward or punishment as a function of

developing human resources. In this case, with the De briefing, the

employee also conducts an analysis and evaluation (anev) of himself

and is also expected to grow the motivation of employees to serve

according to applicable regulations and achieve performance in

assignments. Implementation of the De briefing is carried out by

auditing the results of the implementation of the task.

In addition to these methods also required:

There are thousands of ways that a human resource manager can make a hotel

Therefore it is very important not to underestimate the importance of

managers. Without hotel human resource managers cannot provide quality

services to customers and employees.

The size and size of the hotel management structure varies significantly

depending on the size and function of the hotel. A small hotel usually consists

of a small core management team consisting of General Manager and several

key department managers who directly handle day-to-day operations. In

contrast, a large full-service hotel often operates more like a large corporation

with an executive board headed by the General Manager and consisting of the

chief director serving as the head of the individual hotel department. Each

department usually consists of subordinate line-level managers and

supervisors who handle day to day operations. Large / Service Control A

THE ROLE OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT

3.1. The Role of Hotel Management

Seeing the current phenomenon of the tourism business in Indonesia

which continues to grow in accordance with the positive perception of the

world over the stability of security in Indonesia is driving the growth of the

hospitality industry to regions in Indonesia.

At this time Indonesia is starting to become the focus of the world, so

that we can see some of the important activities and meetings of the world

held in Indonesia. The hospitality business is a service business, hospitality

business, and comfort. So that trust is the main point for customers or foreign

tourists to local use of the service.

Talking about service, comfort, and customer satisfaction in marketing

we can see an example of how Alexis management can create a market that is

so exclusive and can meet the needs of foreign tourists as well as exclusive

local parties.

As a writer, I will not discuss the current case, but only take a few

points about their marketing. The second is the author's own experience when

working as a hotel consultant. Actually the hospitality business is a long term

business. The benefits will not necessarily be felt directly by the owner. I

emphasize once again that the hotel business is a business of trust in the

quality of service provided and is consistent so that it becomes a characteristic

or authentic thing that no other hotel has. Experience from the author that

actually who holds the biggest role is the management.

It is important to note that hotel management such as Accor and Tauzia

are well-known management with several hotel products with rigid standards

and international quality. The experience of the author who used to work to

provide training programs and also explains the accounting treatment in the

form of a workflow in the hospitality business system cannot be understood in

a short time. There is a standardization of specific and varied accounts within

the hospitality accounting system. Each sales product line in the hotel has its

own expense account so that it can be said that the hotel accounting system is

very good in terms of management whether the cost is in accordance with

management standards or there are inefficiencies in the management.

CHAPTER 3

Page 15: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

10

More clearly, the salary costs for employees in the front office, spa,

and restaurant even in the finance and accounting departments are different. In

terms of the production of food or beverage type food is also distinguished.

The standard use of the cost of producing food and beverage, which is a

maximum of 30%, is the standard that must be obeyed by management and

can be monitored daily through the system. That's about the costs, regarding

revenue recognition is also different. For example, in the room sales

component, guests coming to stay do not necessarily become sales on the

same day but are updated to bills during the night audit, at 12 pm. There is

also a guest ledger data, which is the accumulated number of guest bills that

have not been checked out that will not appear on the balance sheet or the

hotel profit and loss.

The guest ledger is only seen in the room control report. For me, the

accounting system applied by international class hotel management such as

Accor is very detailed, punctual, and a very clear control system. The main

goal is to find out profit, comparison with a certain period of time, the

projection of income to be received in the future, as well as what marketing

methods need to be made to be able to support profit. Various reports but

proper for me, it is very useful to be able to see sales performance, inventory

control performance in the accounting department, and even the management

of corporate guests at the hotel. In terms of taxation, that is our reference as a

tax officer so that tax revenue becomes more optimal and foresight to see the

potential revenue in the hotel sector.

3.2. The Importance of Hotel Management

As the owner sometimes presents a hotel manager is to add costs or

costs only. Sometimes in running a hotel, there is only information that goes to

the owner like:

1. The hotel manager doesn't seem to work.

2. Just walk.

3. Most calls.

4. Suspicious, playing with money.

5. Lots of requests but the hotel doesn't seem to be developing.

6. Not creative.

And much more information that the owner receives, so the owner

does not use the manager at his hotel. Some input needs a minimum of a hotel

manager in your hotel, namely: 1. Guests trust the hotel manager for his

complaints more than to hotel employees or hotel owners. Why? Of course

there are many reasons. To the owner, guests tend to be less open, employees

tend to be emotional. The hotel manager tends to be more resfect. Hotel

managers more quickly control, control and manage operations. The hotel

manager takes care and pays attention to the cleanliness of the hotel more

accurately than other positions even the owner. Cleanliness is an important

Page 16: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

11

point that most guests complain about. Experienced hotel managers have good

marketing knowledge, so as the owner, just support your manager.

Therefore, look for a hotel manager who you really trust, understand the hotel,

have good experience about the hotel, if you can, have them give presentations

for their annual business plans and monthly work schedules and marketing

plans or marketing plans. Don't leave it to someone you really trust but don't

have a hotel background.

Even if you still want to do so, pair your trusted person with someone who has

hotel experience who masters at least 4 hotel department knowledge, namely

front office, food & beverage, marketing & accounting.

HOTEL MANAGEMENT TRENDS

4.1. Hotel Management Trends

Five Trends in revenue management and hotel management are

moving fast. This sector has been developing at an extraordinary pace. This is

an exciting time to be part of a fast-moving industry and hotels can benefit

from capitalizing on new trends.

Let's look at the top 5 trends and changes that drive hotel revenue

management.

1. Shift to earnings management. An increasing number of revenue

managers believe that hotel revenue management has turned to special

emphasis on earnings management. This might be what we call our

profession for a long time. The focus on profits is increasingly

prominent as revenue managers move from dependence on Key

Performance Indicators (KPIs) from total revenue per available room

(total revenue per available room / TrevPAR) and revenue per

available room (RevPAR). Instead, the revenue manager will use gross

operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) as the main KPI. This

places profits at the center of revenue management strategies and

managers will increasingly seek new techniques to increase the

profitability of their hotels. The KPI that we have advocated also is

NRevPAR or NetRevPAR, this is a step towards GOPPAR from

RevPAR, taking into account distribution and marketing costs. It

focuses on the value of the net reservation obtained. ROI is the goal of

every hotel investment, so it is only logical if the focus is on

profitability and ROI will continue to be improved.

2. Increased focus on direct hotel bookings. Revenue managers know

that one key area to drive profitability is to direct guests from online

travel agents (OTA) and book directly through hotels. This enhances

the recall and loyalty of hotel brands and will result in repeat business.

The hotel also offers a unique platform for marketing hotels through

direct communication channels with customers, offering offers and

offering additional services or room upgrades. OTA certainly has an

important role as a booking source and they can book hotels directly

CHAPTER 4

Page 18: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

13

which maximizes their profits. To persuade guests to book directly on

the hotel website, the benefits must be clearly presented to prospective

guests. Why should they go to your hotel website and not to OTA?

What are the benefits? This is where the revenue manager will be

tasked to educate guests about your hotel products.

3. Greater efficiency in data usage. Hotels are flooded with all types of

data metrics both competition data or other data relevant to the hotel

business. There are many KPIs and types of data that can be used for

hotels. This makes it even more important to understand how to use it.

Cut unnecessary data and mine it if needed to get the true value.

Efficient use of customer data provides key solutions which in turn

drive business decisions. Revenue Management System (RMS) which

includes reporting tools and data analysis is increasingly seen as less

attractive and more of a momentary necessity. The use of RMS can

help to drive profits through insights that utilize data efficiently.

Revenue managers increasingly know new and better ways to combine

KPIs with certain types of data. Software including customer

relationship management and resource planning tools provide

important data and will continue to proliferate for use.

4. Improved technology in revenue management. Technologies that

strengthen the revenue management system are constantly changing.

One of the most important recent changes today is increased

automation. Revenue Management systems with automation are much

preferred now. Automation increases RM efficiency and helps

managers focus on profitability. They can spend more time on strategy,

while data entry and logistics work automatically. As a bonus, an

automated system helps combine and interpret data. Another new trend

in RM technology is the increasing prominence of learning tools and

predictive analytical tools. The technology that is integrated with the

revenue manager workflow is the key to its success. This could include

a communication channel management system, a guest review system

and a benchmark reporting system.

5. The shift continues to focus to cellular. The shift to mobile is not

entirely new. In 2018 saw a significant increase in interactions and

bookings by cell phone. But, it is set to rise even further in 2019 so that

it will see an even greater focus on mobile reservations. Increased

revenues and profits will increasingly depend on mobile sites that

provide high performance. For this reason, revenue managers will be

eager to ensure that hotel websites are optimized for customer

engagement, performance measurement and business generation. In

addition, the website must be constantly updated and maintained in

order for optimal performance. This will be very important for the

success of a hotel in 2019. The final word on hotel revenue

management trends and changes in 2019. 2019 will be a year of action

for hotel revenue management. This is the most important trend that

we can see in Equity Hotel Management. Revenue management has

grown rapidly and established itself as the dominant force in driving

hotel success, but 201 could be the most evolutionary year for the hotel

business.

4.2. Hospitality Accounting System

Accounting System is a form of financial reporting or recording of all

transaction journals both daily transactions and a certain period. The

Hospitality Accounting System is intended and intended as guidance material

in the preparation and presentation of financial data, and as a guide that covers

the basics of financial accounting as in accounting systems in general. The

hotel accounting system is also a tool that provides a more accurate and easy

to understand tool in analyzing the financial system by hotel management that

aims as a basis for developing hotel financial policies in the future.

In recording the hotel accounting system, the recording of accounts is

divided into two main parts. The first part consists of the format and

requirements for the presentation of reports related to finance and others.

Reports are explained in both narrative and special format. And the second

part is giving names to accounts and chart of accounts.

The accounting cycle in a hotel business is broadly the same as the

accounting cycle in other types of businesses. In each accounting period, the

accounting cycle will begin with recording the transaction ending with a post-

closing trial balance. The accounting process can be done manually or using a

computer application. Some important transactions in hotel operations, viz.

4.3. Sales of Products and Services

For efficiency and to simplify the work of the accounting department,

daily transactions of sales of products and services are recorded in a special

book of sales, at the end of the new accounting period a special sales journal is

made. The hotel business has the main sources of income from room sales

(Room Revenue), food sales and beverage sales (Food and Beverage

Revenue), where on one hand it sells services and on the other hand sells

goods. Unlike other businesses, sales in hotel businesses are unique, namely:

1. Products sold are a combination of goods and services.

2. Sales in hotel businesses usually have high volumes with relatively low

individual prices, almost the same as retail businesses.

3. Products in the form of goods sold are produced through the

production process as is done by manufacturing companies.

4. The company must have capacity stocks to be able to sell products in

the form of services.

5. Sales of products and services are taxed and service (tax and service).

Page 20: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

15

The sales cycle will involve accounts receivable accounts (city ledgers,

guest ledgers, credit cards), cash and cash equivalent accounts, sales accounts,

PHR (Government Tax) debt accounts, and collecting service fees to

consumers on behalf of employees. Periodically, the collected service money

is distributed to employees, usually after deducting loss and breakage.

4.4. Hospitality Accounting Cycle

Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements. It is a transaction from billing

and daily cash sales where the results of billing, cash sales, and daily cash

disbursements are recorded in a special book called cash book and bank.

1. Purchasing Products and Services. For efficiency and to facilitate the

work of the accounting department, daily transactions for the purchase

of products and services are recorded for a special purchase book.

2. Payroll (Salary System). Because the hotel consists of several

departments, the personnel department must make a recapitulation of

payroll, wages, and PPH 21 in accordance with the department in

which the employee works. To simplify financial management

arrangements in the hospitality business, an accounting automation

system is needed that can be connected to all divisions and journals.

Journal is an online accounting software that provides integrated

accounting services and can be used by several departments / divisions

at once in one system. With Journal, you can monitor all financial

transactions from several different financial sections anytime and

anywhere instantly through your smartphone. Get all important

information about the Journal here and have the convenience of

managing the financial accounting of your hotel business with our

partnership.

HOTEL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

5.1. Information Systems

Along with the rapid technology and facilities offered therein, now

both private and public agencies take advantage of technological facilities in

processing data that was previously processed manually converted into a

computerized pattern that facilitates the process of data entry and search stored

in a database. Administrative data collection on hotel management requires the

accuracy of mechanisms and organized arrangements so that data can be

packaged and properly protected. For a hotel room provider, with the number

of tenants (guests), the more time is needed to record all matters relating to

room bookings, lodging transactions, transaction orders for food / drinks, and

other facilities. For that we need a system that is able to overcome these

problems.

For now, the system that runs in all hotels is still ineffective such as the

storage of guest data, booking data, check-in and check-out, food & beverage

and laundry are still done in bookkeeping and still use regular note taking, so

the process work goes slow and sometimes gets into trouble. Therefore

making reports that are useful for hotel managers often experience errors and

delays.

To simplify the work process and support management in hotels, the

authors propose to create a system that is expected to help in managing guest

data, room data, facility maintenance data, as well as booking and room rental

data to produce reports needed by hotel managers quickly and using Visual

Basic 2008 software and SQL Server 2005 database.

5.2. Definiton Management Information Systems.

Management Information System According to Budi Supriyatno,

management information system (SIM) is the application of information

systems within an organization to support information needed by management.

SIM is a system that performs functions - functions to provide all information

that affects all operations of the organization. SIM is a collection of

information systems.

CHAPTER 5

Hotel Management Information System can accelerate the process of

making reports that are useful for hotel managers. And can make it easy for

managers to monitor data in the hotel as well as obtain information that is

useful to support the decision making process in improving the development

of hotel performance.

It is hoped that the management system can be implemented to

improve the effectiveness of management performance at the Hotel as well as

periodic data backups to avoid losing data caused by system damage and

provide training to the users involved, so that the implementation of the

system runs as expected.

5.3. Hospitality Management Information System

These activities are receiving guests (checking in), recording guest

bills (guest folios), guest payments (guest payment). With this system it is

expected that guests get better service (good of service). Another result

achieved by using the management system is efficiency in the day-to-day

operations of the hotel. The data flow generated by this system can be divided

into three categories:

1. The top level for the needs of top managers. The need for data /

information is long term, highly uncertain, environmental, planning

and policy and the report is concise.

2. Intermediate level for midle manager. The need for data / information

is medium term, relatively more definite, organizational, policy

implementation and tactical planning, relatively detailed reports

3. Lower level for lower managers. The need for data / information is

short-term, less certain, departmental, carrying out daily and

maintenance activities, detailed reports.

The scope of a hotel management system is very broad, depending on

the completeness of the features provided by the program. Completeness itself

is very dependent on the type / type of hotel and hospitality organization

structure. The hotel management system must be able to handle the work:

1. In the room division (room division), especially the front office (front

office) and the housekeeping (housekeeping).

2. In the accounting division (accounting devision) for all parts of

accounting.

3. In the restaurant and bar division (bar and restaurant division).

4. In the marketing division (marketing division). 5. In the engineering

and equipment division (engineering division). But not all existing

hotel management systems support the

5. 5 jobs above, there are some systems that only support some of the

work or there are some systems that can cover more than the five main

jobs above.

Page 23: MANAGEMENT HOTEL · management jobs in the lodging industry. Industry experience is the most basic qualification for management work in a hotel. A degree in hospitality management

18

With advances in technology, a system can be connected with other

hardware devices (hardware) such as surveillance cameras (spy cameras) and

store their data in a database for archiving guest data to meet public security if

one day it is needed. By connecting the management system with an automatic

key using a card (smart card, optical card, etc.), guest security is more secure

and supervision of guests who go in and out (check in or check out) can be

controlled properly.

By connecting the use of mobile phones (cellphones), prospective

guests can book a hotel room by using a short message (SMS, sort mesagge

system). The purpose of integrating the above tools and other tools adds to the

complexity of a hotel management system and obscures the original purpose

of using this system.

Finally, many hotels use hotel management systems for the purpose of

increasing their hotel rates. This happens because the hotel assumption that

uses the system is a well-managed hotel.

5.4. Hotel Application Program

Establishing and developing a hospitality business requires a system

that is reliable and integrated so that the planned business goals and strategies

can be achieved in total. By implementing a good hospitality system, it will be

able to reduce costs significantly, be able to improve company performance

and capture more customer loyalty.

The Hotel Program is present as a solution for implementing hotel

management in an integrated and comprehensive manner through reliable

hospitality management software. This hotel program can be developed

anywhere including hotels, apartments, resorts and others.

By using the Hotel Program, your company can improve service to

customers better which will have a positive impact on increasing profits /

profits of the company.

Some applications are as follows:

1. Data. To support the application, supporting data is formed as follows:

a. Room Rates & Types.

b. Recording rates and types of room rental that exist at the hotel.

c. Room

d. Recording the room number that is in the hotel accompanied by the

price of capital, selling price rates.

e. Room Facilities

f. Recording facilities available in each room.

g. Food Restauran / Mini Bar menu

h. Recording the types of food and beverage menu available along

with price / capital list. The order will be given a bill in the form of

a bill printed by the printer. (may be a guest bill or instant visitor /

cash)
