Second is the Operator team and they are the staff who receiving a telephone calls either internal from the in-house guest to another guest or between the management offices, or external calls from outside the hotel to be transfer to guest in house rooms, or from in-house guest to outside calls. So they are the connecting between the hotel outlets and also guest to hotel by telephone calls.

Third is the Bellman who welcome the guest when they arrive to hotel door like a door man and help them with the luggage.
Fourth is the Reservation department, we can say that also Reservation he is the first person can start deal with the guest, so he can give the impression to the guest about the hotel even before the guest arrive to hotel.
