Job Description

Running the front desk of a travel agency in Isando means calm service and a clean shift balance. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Isando-based, with most of your time spent at a travel agency. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Run the night audit, close the day and print the flash report.
  • Handle complaints at the desk and log them for the duty manager.
  • Manage OTA bookings coming in from online travel channels.
  • Answer booking emails and calls, and quote rates from the rate sheet.
  • Store guest details securely in line with POPIA.
  • Allocate rooms and pass early check-ins to housekeeping.

What you need

  • Clear spoken and written English
  • Calm with an unhappy guest at 11pm
  • A hospitality or tourism diploma, or 1 year at a hotel front desk
  • Honest with cash and card payments
  • Confident on a computer and quick to learn a property system

Helpful, not essential

  • Revenue or yield management exposure
  • Amadeus or Galileo training for travel roles
  • Opera PMS or Protel certificate

On offer

  • Discounted stays across the group
  • Service charge share at some properties
  • Night-shift allowance
