They make all the necessary decisions needed in their assigned division and ensure all hotel rules and policies are implemented. Assistant hotel managers monitor the tasks of personnel and workers, set goals and plans to promote and improve the service of their department; and are tasked to give schedules and assignment to each worker. They handle clients complaints and compliments about their department; and make sure that events are well organized. Sometimes, assistant hotel managers also welcome guests and customers as they enter the hotel. They assist the hotel manager in ensuring the security of their guests and the entire hotel or hotel department.
