What ホテル・旅館支配人 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

規模等により支配人の仕事は大きく異なるが、ここでは中規模のホテル・旅館について述べる。
 現場の最高責任者として、建物の施設・設備の管理を行う。更には、ホテルや旅館を所有・運営している企業の幹部として経営に参加する。
 ホテルや旅館の総責任者として、利用客に快適な宿泊、料理飲食、入浴などをおもてなし精神の下サービスを提供して満足してもらえるよう理念方針を設定し、マネジメントを行う。
 利用客に安全で快適な空間やサービスを提供するために、各業務の担当者や責任者を把握し、適切な指示や助言を行う。円滑に業務が行われるように各担当者間の調整も行う。ホテルや旅館には様々な施設・設備が付随しており、どれか一つが欠けただけでもサービスの提供に大きな障害をきたすため、適切な管理や効率的な運用ができるように担当者に指示や助言を行う。多くの従業員が働いているため、従業員の能力や適性を把握し、適切な人事管理を行う。
 また、ホテルや旅館では客室を1部屋1日単位で販売するという特殊な販売形態であり大量販売や在庫をかかえることができないため、売り上げやコストの管理を適切に行い、営業成績を向上させることが常に求められる。
 ホテルや旅館の営業は、社会情勢や個人の消費動向に左右されるため、幅広い知識を持ち、新しい商品やサービスを提供できるように、自分が運営しているホテルや旅館の業界におけるポジショニングを認識し、将来への方向性を見極めることも重要な職務である。
