Frequently Asked Questions for Hotel
Training Solutions

How does Consult Folio determine the best hotel training solutions for my property?

We begin with a comprehensive Training Needs Assessment (TNA). This involves auditing your Guest Satisfaction Scores (GSS), interviewing department heads, reviewing operational reports, and analyzing staff performance data. Our hospitality training consultants use this data to precisely pinpoint skill gaps and develop targeted, custom hotel training solutions that address your property’s unique challenges, ensuring the training investment is maximized.

What is the primary focus of your front desk training program?

Our specialized front desk training program focuses on three core areas: efficiency, sales, and guest conflict resolution. We train staff on maximizing technology use for faster check-in/out, upselling high-value services (like premium rooms), and employing advanced hotel soft skills training to de-escalate issues and convert complaints into positive resolutions. The goal is to make the front desk a revenue-generating, guest-loyalty hub.

Does your hotel manager training cover financial and P&L accountability?

Yes. A key component of our hotel manager training is financial literacy and P&L accountability. We empower managers to understand and control their departmental budgets, manage labor costs, and interpret key financial reports. This training is crucial for aligning management's decisions with the overall Asset Management strategy and ensuring they are effective stewards of the owner's investment.

Can your hotel service training program help reduce staff turnover?

Absolutely. We view our hotel service training program as an investment in your staff's future. By demonstrating commitment to their professional growth through quality, engaging training and mentorship, staff feel more valued and motivated. This investment, particularly in hotel soft skills training, directly correlates with higher employee satisfaction and engagement, which significantly lowers recruitment costs and staff turnover rates.

How are your hospitality training consultants qualified to lead these programs?

Our hospitality training consultants are senior industry veterans, many of whom have served as General Managers or corporate VPs of Training for global hotel brands. They bring practical, on-the-floor expertise, ensuring that the hotel training solutions delivered are not theoretical, but immediately applicable and impactful in real-world hospitality operations settings.

Do you offer virtual or hybrid hotel training solutions?

Yes, we specialize in modern, blended learning delivery. We offer on-site hands-on training for operational roles, virtual classroom sessions for management, and customized e-learning modules for continuous reinforcement. This hybrid approach ensures maximum flexibility, reduces training costs, and allows for continuous skill development that supports effective hotel operations and management across diverse teams.

How do you measure the ROI of your hotel training solutions?

We measure the ROI of our hotel training solutions by tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) before and after implementation. These KPIs include changes in the property's Guest Satisfaction Scores (GSS), year-over-year improvement in departmental upselling revenue, reduction in guest complaint volume, and quantified improvements in labor efficiency percentage, providing a clear justification for the investment.

Can you integrate brand-specific standards into your training curriculum?

Yes. We view brand standards as the minimum requirement. Our hotel training solutions build upon your brand's existing operating procedures, customizing the delivery with our proprietary service techniques and hotel soft skills training to exceed both brand expectations and guest expectations, thereby driving higher Revenue Management pricing power.

Does the training focus on both technical and service skills?

Our programs provide a balanced focus. Technical training covers essential efficiency and procedural skills (e.g., proper closing procedures, system use, Opening a New Hotel SOPs). Service training focuses on the crucial emotional intelligence and hotel soft skills training needed to create memorable, personalized guest experiences that drive repeat business and positive reputation.

How does your training support Operations Management goals?

Our hotel training solutions are designed to support Operations Management by standardizing performance and improving efficiency. Well-trained staff execute SOPs correctly and consistently, which reduces errors, waste, and supervisory intervention. This operational discipline is essential for maximizing flow-through and achieving the cost control targets set by the Operations Management team.
