Room Service Order Taker Audit Checklist
In order to ensure that our room service order takers are providing excellent service to our guests, we have created an audit checklist that should be followed regularly. The checklist includes items such as verifying the guest’s room number and name, repeating the order back to the guest for accuracy, and confirming the delivery time.
Additionally, the checklist includes reminders to always use polite language and to thank the guest for their order. By following this checklist, we can ensure that our room service team is providing top-notch service to our guests every time.
