Develop strong client relationships that support guest loyalty, repeat business, and positive referrals.
Identify and present appropriate opportunities to enhance events through additional food, beverage, audiovisual, guest-room, and event-service offerings.
Review banquet checks, invoices, master-account charges, deposits, and final billing for completeness and accuracy.
Conduct post-event follow-up to evaluate client satisfaction, address outstanding matters, and identify future business opportunities.
Maintain accurate client, event, revenue, and activity information within applicable hotel systems.
Support established revenue, guest-satisfaction, service-quality, and departmental performance goals.
Follow Hilton brand standards and all hotel policies, procedures, safety practices, and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
