As I have moved back in to the role from a position of management I have come to realize the need for if not an advanced qualification a standard one to give the employer and the employee peace of mind in their roles. A night porter encompasses at the very least six of a hotels departments and needs a basic grounding or a small induction into these to get the very best out of him. Creating your own businesses standard operating procedures for the night team is strenuously recommended. The advantage of having a night porter means more potential revenue through enabling your business to generate income in to the small hours. Not losing room revenues to staff having to sleep in. A salaried worker on hand to finish mis en place enabling casual staff to finish earlier. Not to mention the fact that having someone on site adds a security bonus. Depending on their skills and experience most will be able to run an end of shift audit, Sell drinks and set up conference rooms.”
