What department of the hotel has the most potential?

The hotel development department has the most potential.

When you stay in any hotel, the front desk staff will check in for you with a smile, the room cleaner will clean your room in good order every day, and the restaurant waiter will serve you with hospitality ... Our impression of hotel staff is largely composed of these service personnel who work in the hotel. However, there are many people who work in this industry, which you usually don't see.

When you come to Shanghai for business, you may have stayed in hotels owned by InterContinental Hotels Group, but you may not know that about 500 of the 6,400 employees of InterContinental Hotels in Shanghai do not work in hotels. Among this group of people, there is a group that is rarely noticed by laymen, and that is the development department.

From an open space to a magnificent hotel, the hotel development department can be said to play the role of "bridgehead"-looking for land with hotel development potential, negotiating cooperation agreements, and urging the project to land until the hotel is successfully opened. Hotel income is greatly influenced by season, climate and economic environment. For hotel management groups, the safest way to ensure profit growth is to open more hotels, or more accurately, to manage more hotels for owners. This task mainly depends on the development department to break through.

Working in the development department, what exactly does it do? The management mode adopted by most intercontinental brand hotels is that the group assigns the general manager to be responsible for recruiting the hotel team, taking full charge of the daily operation of the hotel and managing the hotel for the owners, so the customers of the development department are mostly real estate developers who are interested in investing in the hotel. "When our customers own a piece of land, they will consider how to build this hotel. Some developers will use external force to find the consulting company I used to work for to help them locate their brands, and then the consulting company will help contact the hotel brands. There are also some experienced real estate development companies that don't go to third-party consultants, but contact our brand directly. "
