Reliable Coverage for Your Most Visible Role

Vacancies at the front desk create immediate guest experience problems. When positions go unfilled, managers get pulled from strategic work to cover shifts, and service quality suffers during peak hours.

  • Full-time and part-time coverage available for day, evening, and overnight shifts
  • Night audit specialists experienced in both guest service and accounting functions
  • Reception professionals who integrate seamlessly with your existing hotel team
  • Consistent scheduling so you avoid last-minute scrambles and shift coverage gaps
  • Free your managers to focus on operations instead of covering the front desk

Common Questions About Reception Staffing

For ongoing staffing needs, expect 2-3 weeks for full screening, hiring, and property-specific training. For emergency coverage situations, we can often provide staff same-day or next-day from our existing pools of trained professionals in your market. Our recruitment team continuously builds candidate pools so qualified people are ready when you need them.

You maintain control over who works at your property. We present screened candidates, but your management team makes the final hiring decision. If someone isn’t working out, we address it quickly. As one GM told us, when issues arise, TUMI removes staff from the property promptly so operations continue smoothly without disruption.

Every TUMI team member receives property-specific training at your hotel before working independently. They learn your systems, your standards, and your culture during a week-long training period. Many of our staff have worked at properties for years and know the operations inside and out. Some have more tenure at their assigned hotels than current management.

Your dedicated area manager visits your property every week, not monthly or quarterly like other agencies. They meet with your management team, check in with our staff, and proactively address any concerns before they become problems. This consistent presence builds trust and ensures quality. Clients tell us this hands-on approach sets TUMI apart.

Yes. TUMI staff are trained on your specific systems and processes during their onboarding period at your property. They work alongside your team or our supervisors until they’re fully proficient with your technology, procedures, guest service standards, and brand requirements. We don’t consider training complete until they can work independently.

Full-time team members receive comprehensive health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and paid time off. They also receive scheduled raises at 91 days and one year. This benefits package exceeds what most competitors offer, which helps us attract and retain quality professionals committed to long-term hospitality careers rather than temporary gig work.

Some management companies require approval before hotels engage external staffing partners, while others give properties autonomy. We have established relationships with major management companies and can work directly with VPs of Operations if needed. Many of our partnerships have continued through management company transitions because incoming leadership recognized the value we provide.
