  • 5. 

    Guests that check in between 2400 and 0700 will be charged for the previous night's stay.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Guests that check in between 2400 and 0700 will be charged for the previous night's stay because the hotel industry typically follows a 24-hour check-in/check-out policy. This means that the day officially ends at midnight (2400) and begins again at 0001. Therefore, if a guest checks in between 2400 and 0700, it is considered as checking in on the previous day, and they will be charged for that night's stay.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "1, one." This means that a guest should never be left on hold for longer than one minute. Leaving a guest on hold for an extended period of time can be seen as rude and may lead to dissatisfaction with the service provided. It is important to prioritize prompt and efficient assistance to ensure a positive guest experience.

    • 0700

    • 0900

    • 1000

    • 1100

    Correct Answer
    A. 1100
    Explanation
    No Shows are processed after 1100, which means that any appointments marked as "No Show" will be handled or dealt with after 1100. This could include rescheduling the appointment, contacting the patient, or updating the records accordingly. It is likely that the system or the staff follows a specific schedule for processing No Shows, and 1100 is the designated time for this task.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The correct way to request time off is:

    • Take the schedule to the supervisor and ask her to change it.

    • If the schedule is already out, swap with a co-worker.

    • Fill out a leave request/leave slip and wait for approval.

    • Don't show up.

    • B and C are both correct

    Correct Answer
    A. B and C are both correct
    Explanation
    The correct way to request time off is to either swap with a co-worker if the schedule is already out or to fill out a leave request/leave slip and wait for approval. Both options B and C are correct because they involve proper communication and following the appropriate procedures to request time off. Option A, taking the schedule to the supervisor and asking her to change it, is not the correct way as it assumes the supervisor will make the change without following the proper protocol. Option D, not showing up, is also not the correct way as it is irresponsible and unprofessional.

    If a group is under individual pay, it means that each individual in the group is responsible for their own payment. In this case, they must provide their credit card information 14 days prior to the payment due date. If any individuals fail to provide their credit card information within this timeframe, their bookings or reservations may be cancelled. The answer "14" and "fourteen" both indicate the same number of days required for providing credit card information.
