How to Determine the Ideal Staff to Guest Ratio

Image
  How to Determine the Ideal Staff-to-Guest Ratio in Hotel Operations One of the most important decisions in hotel management is determining how many employees are needed to serve guests effectively . Too few employees can lead to long waiting times, poor service, employee burnout, guest complaints and declining reviews. On the other hand, too many employees can significantly increase labour costs and reduce profitability. So, how does a hotel determine the right staff-to-guest ratio?

  The Economic Potential of Inland Waterways in Nigeria Nigeria is blessed with an extensive network of rivers, creeks, lakes, and waterways stretching across thousands of kilometres. Yet, despite this enormous natural advantage, inland waterways remain one of the country's most underutilized economic assets.
