Wake Up Call Procedure
The Hotel offers complimentary wake-up calls to guests. Guests can request a wake-up call by calling reception, making the request in person at the front desk, or noting it on their registration card.
Procedure
Logging Wake-Up Calls
- Log all wake-up call requests on the designated "Wake-up Calls and Taxi Booking" form found on the clipboard to the left of the reception area (below the intercom).
- Clearly write the wake-up call time, room number, guest surname, and your initials. Verify all information against iHMS to ensure accuracy.
- Highlight the logged wake-up call using a highlighter.
Actioning Wake-Up Calls
- At the start of your shift, review any logged calls and ensure the alarm clock is set for the next scheduled call.
- At the requested time, call the room. Double-check that the call is for the correct room, guest, and time. Use the following script: "Good morning, this is your wake-up call."
- Once the call is completed, add your initials to the final box on the log.
- After completing all calls, attach the form to the GSA's movement sheet.
- If a guest does not respond to the wake-up call, follow these steps:
- Attempt the call again immediately.
- Retry the call after 5 minutes.
- If there is still no response, the Duty Manager should go to the room and physically wake the guest up, adhering to the following:
- Knock on the door three times and announce yourself before entering.
- Make every effort to wake the guest without physical contact.
- As a last resort, gently touch the guest to wake them. If this is necessary, document the incident in the Duty Log.
