How does data entry work for hospitality?
Your data entry assistant works from your source documents in your hours and enters them with a second check on every batch. Rooming list entry means each name, arrival, departure, room type and special request typed from the group's spreadsheet and matched to the block. Rate loading means the seasonal rate sheet applied across room types and channels with restrictions, and a screenshot check afterwards. Menu entry means every item, modifier and price updated in the POS and the online ordering menu on the same day. Each batch closes with a count entered, a count checked and an exceptions list, and the assistant is an employee with a backup and a team lead.
