They must also handle tasks such as training employees, handling staff, setting standards, and so forth.3.2 Meaning of Hospitality
The word hospitality derives from the Latinword hospes, which is formed fromhostis, which originally meant a (to have power). The meaning of "host" can be literally read as "lord of strangers."hostiremeans equalize or compensate.
In the Homeric ages, hospitality was under the protection of Zeus, the chief deity of the Greek pantheon. Zeus was also attributed with the title 'Xenios Zeus' ('xenos' means stranger); emphasizing the fact that hospitality was of the utmost importance. A stranger passing outside a Greek house could be invited inside the house by the family. The host washed the stranger's feet, offered food and wine, and only after the guest was comfortable could ask his or her name.

The Engineering Department has a great importance for Hospitality Industry that is actually controlling the electricity, generators, chillers, boilers. The functions and duties of Chief Engineer, his staff, and the engineering department have been relegated to the subconscious of hotel management and certainly of the hotel guests. The only time the functions of engineering department became noticeable was on those unhappy occasions when something went wrong with one of the building systems and guests and or management were in convinced. The role and mandate of any property engineering department is the protection of the buildings/owners assets; the structure from the faade or building envelope, to the integrity of the floors, walls, ceilings and all of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) contained therein. This includes the electrical transformers and the distribution throughout, the domestic water distribution and sewage, the heating-ventilation-air conditioning system, (HVAC), the fire alarm system and fire safety components, the vertical transportation system (elevators), the property surroundings like parking and landscaping and pest control. Utility management such as electrical, gas, steam, water. A hotel is a plant encompassing a myriad of facilities and services and it is imperative that all those elements work smoothly and in cohesion to ensure that the guests have a comfortable and safe stay. Although hidden behind the scenes and rarely feted, a hotels Engineering Division performs an invaluable role in the equation. With the evolution of hotel building design and the ever growing range of features and facilities being incorporated in hotels, the scope of the engineering function in hotels is expanding exponentially. The engineering department has to keep records and maintain the smooth functioning of the equipment without any hassle or disturbance to the guest. They are on call 24 hours of the day, and have to ensure that the technical side of the hotel is looked after. Each day routine checks are done, and the staff walkthrough the entire hotel premises on regular basis, for inspection and attention. Chief Engineer is entrusted to oversee the engineering staff, and they are entrusted with different aspects and operations of the hotel machinery and equipment. The other departmental heads of the hotel are expected to inform the chief engineer, in the case of any need of repair or maintenance. Engineering department has categorized their work in two ways; Preventive maintenance and scheduled maintenance. In preventive maintenance the department sees to timely inspection of the machinery, shutting down blocks of guest rooms and other areas periodically for refurbishment.
13.1 Front Office, I.T and Exchange Department
The Front Office is the nerve center of a hotel. Members of the front-office staff welcome the guests, carry their luggage, and help them register, give them their room keys and mail, answer questions about the activities in the hotel and surrounding area, and finally check them out. In fact, the only direct contact most guests have with hotel employees, other than in the restaurants, is with members of the front-office staff.The front office functions can be divided such as Reception, Bell service, mail and information. The main function is that they are performing to reserve rooms online for their guests.The Information technology department has also great importance in Hotel because there is also need to interconnect with all the systems in such a way with one main server of the Hotel. There was a Munshi server in Ramada hotels it department through which all the systems were controlling. The Munshi server was using as the back up of all the data of Hotels computers. When ever they feel some problem with some viruses in the systems and data destruction then they can easily another copy from that main server named as Munshi. The internet facility is also provided to all the department of the hotels with high speed. There was also the main function of that department to networking with the computer systems of the departments. Information technology department is one that has great importance for the hotel because world is global now and every business is basing on I.T.

Who wants to use that there is separate room available to use it and all the computers of different departments are connected with each other but controlling main server named as Munshi. The exchange department has also very important for the hotel because it provides facility of communicating telephone. Actually, they are controlling to transfer the calls with in the boundary of the hotel and connecting the calls outside the hotels towards the different people. Even they can record the calls of every day. Mostly they are controlling the calls those are using with in the boundary of the hotel among all the departments on daily basis.
14.1 Purchase DepartmentThe concern of this department is with the daily purchase of different things such as food items, meats, vegetables, and other different products such as computers, medicines, and other necessary things required to different departments, they also contact to purchase department for that. But there is need to make PR (purchase requisition) that is issued by the purchase department to all the departments. The main function of the purchase department is to bargain with different shops for the required products and then products are being purchased by the purchase department and there is also a major link of the purchase department with the finance department who is actually controlling all the cash.

7 Not a true corporate culture organization as it is a Seth Culture organization.
8 Employees always fearful about their job security.
9 No travel agency offices for airline ticketing.
10 No shopping mall or shops inside.
15.3 Opportunities
1 Hiring of qualified, skilled employees with good packages can improve their service.
2 As hotel has its monopoly so it can make use of it more to attract customers.
3 As its laundry is best in town so it can open its outlets in other parts of the city for further expanding its businesses.
15.4 Threats
1 Coming of new standard hotels like Pearl Continental.
2 Employee turnover is already very high and due to coming of new hotels it may further increase.
3 Sindbad Hotel and Sheza Inn hotel have restructured themselves and are a serious threat to Ramada.
4 Upcoming restaurants and banquet halls in the town like Zanzibar, Shahjahan.
16.1 Political/Legal
1. Due to the possible impacts on the Environment from the operations of a hotel, there is a need to comply with Environment related regulations.
2. Industry specific taxes.
3. Difficulties in obtaining travel visas to this region.
4. The current war on terror situation may reduce non-essential leisure based travel, which will have a negative impact on the hotel industry.
16.2 Economic
1. Due to the seasonal nature of demand, revenues and room occupancy can vary significantly during peak and non-peak periods.
2. As hotels generally provide free food and lodging especially at the operational level, their salaries are not that attractive compared with that of certain other industries. This may make it difficult to attract employees for such positions.
3. Due to the non-essential nature of this type of service to a potential customer, this would be one of the first areas that would be cut back at a time of recession or economic downturn.
16.3 Social/Cultural
1. The lifestyle change which is growing among certain sections of the middle class as well as the upper class.
2. As hotels benefit from holidaying the extent to which people take holidays and their ability to get off from work for such holidays will have a direct bearing on the demand experienced by an organization such as Ramada.
3. As hotels consume a large amount of resources such as water, soap, detergents as well as cause a fair amount of pollution (from water, leftover food, use of strong detergents), there exists a fair amount of pressure to be green especially by Environmental pressure groups.
4. Employment of the employees may effect due to the change of corporate culture.5. As traveling for a holiday is seen as non-essential travel. Some may opt not to engage in leisure travel especially where air travel is involved.
16.4 Technological
1. The hotel industry is seen as utilizing an increasing amount of technology with a view of achieving greater customer satisfaction.
2. It can be seen that customers, even potential customers extensively use online information sources including reviews and comments by previous customers when making their own choice about holidays and places to visit.
3. The use of technology and other advanced techniques can be useful in managing the consumption of resources such as water and electricity which are resources that are extensively used in this industry. e.g: Power Factor Corrections, recycling water.4. The increasing use of IT/IS can help in improving the information available for management decision making which will also allow the organization to better plan its future activities and events.

Firstly, Permanent employees, secondly, Daily Wages Employees and lastly Temporary Employees or Employees on trial base. According to their employment type they were granted leaves. The leaves given could be sick leave, casual leave, special leave, short leave and if an employee has been working for more than a year then he is eligible for 15 earned leaves but for executive. 16. At the start of each month a list is printed from the software which contains the birthdays of employees during that month. On the birthday that employee is given a birthday cake of two pounds from the hotels bakery free of cost. This offer is valid only for Permanent Employees and Employees on daily wages.
17. The salary period of the hotel is from 26th of every month to 25th of the next month. On 26th of every month time office register was sent to the HR department which contained number of days of all employees which they worked in that month. This we had to tally with the number of days of employees already entered in the software (as in the software we daily record the absent, leave record of every employee). Once both records matches we process the salary towards finance department which after further processing distribute the cheques on 2nd of every month.
18. I also prepared memos ordered by GM to HR Manager and after preparing them they were dispatched to the department heads. 19. File management was also part of my duties. I had to maintain following files: a. CVs files according to the skills, education etc. b. I had to place the warning letters, appreciation letters, increment/promotion letters, resignations, final settlements etc. c. Performance appraisal file. 20. In file management I was given a task by HR manager to check the department wise files and check whether files were complete as per requirement i.e. they had all the required necessary papers of employees. The Head of department of employees with missing papers were informed about that and they were ordered to submit the papers.
21. I was also responsible for allocating employees, lockers where they could keep their personal things.
22. On daily basis security report to be checked, given by the security officers and to be given to HR Manager.
23. Transferring of employees from one department to the other.
24. I issued uniform slips to the employees such as security officers, drivers, kitchen cleaners, dish washers, waiters.
18.1 What I learnt?
Following are few things which I think I learned after working in the organization: 1. I learnt how to work efficiently to the entire satisfaction of my superiors.
2. I got great experience while interviewing candidates.
3. I became bit expert in writing warning letters, appreciation letters, memos, increment/promotion letter, show cause letters and also writing letters to clients.
4. HR department in any organization has great nuisance value. This is one department on which everybody looks upon for solutions of various personal and professional matters.
5. I learned how to be polite with all employees and at the same time encouraging & motivating them.
6. I was also part of conflict resolution committees and inquiries which helped me a lot to understand how to listen to both parties and in decision making.
7. I learnt how to be tactful in performing some unpleasant duties.
8. I learnt about the difficulties and problems of employees.
9. I learnt about the problems of practical life. 10. I learnt how to attend professional meetings.
19.1 Suggestions for the Organization
Following are a few suggestions for the organization:
1. Organization culture needs to be friendlier and more democratic.
2. Pays of employees should be according to the market.
3. Food quality to be improved.

9. Ethical lectures to be arranged for all employees once in two months.
10. They should have more structured training & development system in each and every department.
11. Providing job security to employees.
12. Employees who work overtime they should be paid accordingly.
13. MOD (Manager on Duty) at night should have the facility to take dinner in the restaurant of hotel as he is not paid extra for that duty. 14. They have to make more employee involvement more.
15. Hajj or Umrah policy needs to be introduced.
16. They have to raise pay more according to the competitive market.
