Hotel/Motel Desk Clerks

Individuals who register arriving guests, assign rooms and check out guests at the end of their stay. They also keep records of room assignments and other registration-related information on computers. When guests check out, desk clerks prepare and explain the charges as well as process payments. In some smaller hotels and motels, clerks may have a variety of additional responsibilities, e.g., the work of a bookkeeper, advance reservation agent, cashier, laundry attendant and telephone switchboard operator.
