Role you're checking

Hotel Front Office Manager

Service

Hotel Front Office Managers in India are the nerve centre of guest experience at properties ranging from Taj Lake Palace and ITC Grand Chola to Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton. The role owns the full guest journey — reservations, check-in, concierge, bell services, night audit, and check-out — and operates through Property Management Systems such as Opera, IDS Next, and eZee. A typical 5-star FOM manages 20–60 front-desk staff, drives RevPAR and Average Daily Rate, handles VIP and VVIP protocols (including Bollywood and political arrivals), and ensures C-form filing for foreign guests per the Foreigners Act. The standard entry path is a 3-year B.Sc. Hospitality from an IHM (NCHMCT-affiliated institute in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, or Hyderabad), followed by a management trainee stint at a Taj or Oberoi property. Bilingual fluency in Hindi-English, and regional languages, is a strong differentiator. FHRAI (Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India) membership properties follow shared industry standards on room rates, cancellation policies, and statutory compliance. Demand for experienced FOM talent remains strong as India's hotel pipeline adds 50,000–80,000 branded rooms per year.
