Basic Roles in Valet Service in the Philippine Hospitality Industry
Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be
able to;
1. Identify the basic roles in valet service in the Philippine hospitality industry.

Introduction:
“Butler” is a servant in a wealthy, large household and “Servant” is an
older English term for "Domestic Worker". A “Domestic Worker” is someone who
works within the employer's household and perform a variety of household
services for an individual or a family, from providing care for children and elderly
dependents to cleaning and household maintenance, known as “housekeeping”.
Responsibilities may also include cooking, doing laundry and ironing, food
shopping and other household errands. Some domestic workers live within the
household where they work.
Valet or Varlet is a “French Term” which means ““male servants””. In
Valet, the “T” is being silent.
As the Valet termed for “male servants” and its meaning is the
“Housekeeper” is for “Woman” who is in charge for caring for the entire house
and its appearance.
In modern usage, the Hotel Valet/Butler is an employee who performs
personal services for guests making sure that everything is properly and efficiently
attended.
Butler is also known as “Personal Assistant of Guest” or (P.A.)
Butler is usually in a Five Star Hotel or in a Big Hotel as part of their high
and quality service.
Butler most likely to wear business attire or suit designed by establishment
as their uniform.
Butler Service is a personalized service given to guest who request for
special service to attend his needs.
Valet is also used for people performing specific services:
 Parking Valet - a service employee who parks cars for guests.
 Car Valet - an employee who is paid to clean people's cars professionally.
 Valet - a professional wrestling term for a person who accompanies a
wrestler to the ring - originally a beefy man but now usually a busty woman.

HISTORY
Throughout history, the word “Butler” has been associated with service. The
definition of “Service” in the dictionary reads:
- Occupation or function of serving the State, an institution or an
individual;
- Organization and personnel supplying some public demand;
- Contribution to the welfare of others.

Considering this definition, it may be said that the Butler is someone who
provides services. The fact that butlers used to serve their guests the butler’s
whole life- put them in an unparalleled position: they got to know their guest like
no one else did, which allowed them to anticipate their needs, ensuring that those
needs were satisfied just as they had been requested, guaranteeing the quality of
the service provided and, therefore, the guest’s full satisfaction.
As the Hotel industry evolved, hotels not only adopted infrastrtuctures
never before imagined but also developed and perfected the services available to
their guests in order to make them feel more comfortable and foster
differentiation within the industry.
One of such newly developed services is the Hotel Butler. Which is the
difference then between this type of butler and the traditional butler.
As any business, Hotels are concerned with profitability. This is achieved
through high occupancy levels, which is a result of guest- loyalty. Guests loyalty is
not simply a matter of meeting the customers’ expectations, but of course
exceeding them.
How can we possibly meet guests’ expectations if we don’t know what they are?
How can we exceed guests’ expectations regarding a particular service if we don’t
know what they expect from it?
Here is where the active role of the butler is vital. When the guest arrives,
the butler must establish the guest’s profile, be it through the information
provided before the guest’s arrival or through personal contact with the guest or a
guest’s acquaintance. The Hotel Butler must have a series of strategies that serve
as tools to get to know the guest’s needs and as means to generate service needs.
Daily personalized assistance, detailed observation, the capacity to analyze
the guest’s behavior are, among other, the tools that the butler resorts to on a
daily basis to determine what the possible needs of the guest are, to generate such
needs, and to transform them into services provided with the requested level of
quality, showing the butler’s capacity to satisfy the guest’s needs and exceeding
the guests’ expectations in connection with them.
The modern Hotel Butler does not wait for the guest to make a request, but
generates the guest’s requests through suggestions, comments and a high
capacity for implementation. The Hotel butler is in charge of preparing a profile so
that in-depth knowledge of the guest can be achieved.

The Hotel Butler is the HOTEL’s best tool for providing personalized service,
offering a unique experience and an unforgettable stay that will make the guest
want to return.

The Hotel Butler makes all the difference:


Even though some hotels have not set up a Butler Department, they
however offer certain services that are typical of such position, performed by a
different kind of employee under a different name, e.g.: valet, runner, assistant,
bellboy, and so on.
The Basic Services Offered by a Hotel Butler are:
 Laundry and ironing.
 Shoe shine.
 Packing and unpacking of guest luggage.
 In-room breakfast and beverages.
 And other personalized services

What are the different services offered by a Hotel Butler and those provided
by any of the other positions mentioned above?
When the Butler is taking the tray to the room, the Hotel Butler must not
only offering breakfast or tea; he must also have an amount of information
gathered beforehand that makes it possible for him to know the guest in greater
depth, thus being able to anticipate the guest’s needs.
When the Butler enters the room to collect the laundry, he also carries away
with him an interpretation of the guest’s immediate environment that contributes
additional information to the guest’s profile, enabling possible strategies
concerning services that guarantee the guest’s well-being and satisfaction.
The Butler must have received training on service quality, service strategy
creation, preparation of a guest’s profile, stay satisfaction follow-up, management
of complaints, and so on, that allows him to offer a highly personalized service.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-2
BUILDING GUEST RAPPORT THROUGH ORAL AND WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION

Learning Objectives: After reading the INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be


able to;
1. Establish rapport and goodwill with guests through oral/written
communication.

Building Guest Rapport


“Rapport” is 'a feeling of sympathetic understanding', where two people feel a
bond between one another, such that they will more easily trust one another.
Building rapport is important in industries that involve social interaction.
Using certain techniques can help you build rapport quickly and effectively. This
skill doesn't only give you a friendly and confident vibe but it also gives you the
means to connect to people and negotiate your way to achieve your goal. As a
matter of fact, building rapport is the foundation of social persuasion.
Think about it. People who put their trust on you will agree with everything
you say without any hesitation. Those who you have good connections with can
easily fall under your charms. There are a lot of scenarios out there where these
rapport building techniques are useful. If you like to begin learning these
techniques then you should keep on reading.
The first technique is finding something in common. There is a saying that birds
with the same feather tend to flock together. This statement is true for most social
scenarios. People who want the same type of art can feel more comfortable with each
other compared to others who prefer different type of art.
If you get yourself in a scenario where you have to build rapport right away,
try to look for something in common with the person you are talking to and take it
from there. However, you should remember that lying will not get you anywhere.
Once you get yourself caught, that person will not trust you anymore. Be
comfortable with telling the truth about yourself.
The next technique is to give compliments. People like to hear something
good about their character. So whenever you can, find something good about the
person you are talking to. It does not have to be outrageous. It can be something
as casual as "Hey! Nice dress".

Building Guest Rapport through Oral Communication

Research shows that good communication can improve relationships,


increase trust, intimacy, and support. The opposite can also be true; poor
communication can weaken relationships and create mistrust. Relationships fail
every day because of a lack of communication skills. We either don't know how to
communicate or we simply aren't interested in learning. All relationships, at one
time or another, experience stress. When this happens it is vital that we have the
tools and skills necessary to deal with these issues in a positive and productive
way. Many people don't realize that they are being unreceptive in their
communication skills and eventually their negative communication leads to
increased stress.

Talk to your guests


You need to talk to your guests throught their stay. Face-to-face feedback
will always be the most effective and ideally we need to get feedback before it’s too
late to do something about it. If what you have provided fails to meet expectations
you’d rather know about it before the guest leaves so you can resolve it, rather
than waiting for them to put their comments on TripAdvisor.
Be observant and look out for signs that things aren’t right or that someone
wants to get your attention.
Being visible in your hotel or restaurant, and making contact with your
guests builds rapport and trust. Once you’ve gained this you’re in a far better
position to gain valuable feedback first hand. The same goes for your staff too, so
encourage them to talk to your guests. Give them the appropriate training to ask
for feedback in the knowledge that they are confidence to deal with feedback –
good or bad – in a positive way.
Bear in mind your guests will tell you things that they wouldn’t feedback to
your staff, and vice versa. So ask your staff what feedback they have received,
and listen to their ideas on how to make improvements and how to capitalise on
positive feedback and your strengths.

What is Rapport and how does it Related to Writing?


Rapport is a relationship that you build with someone and it is based on
mutual trust. Building a rapport is when people engage in activities or writing that
fosters that trust. Authors are successful when they are able to build a rapport
with a reader. If you don't trust what the author is telling you, why would you
even be reading their material? Some authors are better at building a rapport with
readers than others.

Here are Some Ways on How to Build Rapport


As we look for ways to improve our rapport with guests, customers, clients
and prospects let's cast our gaze to improv. It might surprise to learn that even in
something as spontaneous as Improvisation there are rules to play.
1. Active Care: Don’t wait to be asked

Show that you care about other people. Not just by being nice and friendly
but by going out of your way to help them.

Show interest not only in the subject but also in the person. Indicate that
you care about them.
2. Co-location: Just be nearby
Arrange to be near the other person. Start just by saying “hello” in passing
and gradually build the relationship from there.
When you regularly see most people, you learn that they are not a threat
and that getting to know them is easy. And when you get to know people, you
often find that they are quite nice, as most people actually are.
3. Encouraging: Getting them to speak
An important way you encourage others is in the signals you send, both via
the words you use and also the non-verbal signals.
Sometimes all you want to do is to encourage people to talk about what ever
is on their mind. This is useful in general social situation or when you want to give
them time and space to get out something that is bothering them but they
currently do not want to talk about.
You do not need to say anything to encourage people to keep talking. Here
are a few things you can do to keep them talking, as well as using other body
language, such as:

 Silence: Nature abhors a vacuum and so do people. Stay quiet and they will
fill the gap.
 Raised eyebrows: Raise one or both (if you can't do one) eyebrows
expectantly.
 Tilted head: Tilt your head sideways, perhaps in combination with the
eyebrow-raise.
 Nod: Nodding shows agreement and interest.
 Noises: Make encouraging noises, such as 'uh-huh', 'mm', etc.

4. Holding Gaze: Eye to eye attraction


Encourage them to talk, then pay close attention, gazing directly at them.
Look at their face and into their eyes as if you cannot drag your eyes away.
Match their emotions in this. If they are describing achievement, look
pleased. If they are describing a hurt, look sympathetic.
Be careful with this. Do not stare -- use a soft and flattering gaze that says
'you are wonderful'. If they start to look at all uncomfortable, pull your eyes
reluctantly away with an apologetic brief smile. Glance back frequently as if you
are dying to gaze at them again.
An important note: Your eyes and the muscles around them signal much
your emotions. So when you are looking interested or sympathetic, you must
actually be interested or sympathetic.
Self-Check 4.1-2

I. Answer the following question

1. What is rapport? Why building rapport is important in the


industries?
2. How do you establish rapport between you and the guest?

Basic darning and mending for clothing

Learning Objectives: After reading the INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be


able to;
1. Follow the procedure in darning and mending clothes.

Materials:

Sewing Kit Different colors of Threads Needles

Buttons

Procedure:

BASIC DARNING AND MENDING

Sewing easy sewing stitches is the best way for beginners to get started. There
are often times when machine sewn projects also need some hand sewing done.
Once mastered each sewing stitch can add to the beauty when you sew dresses,
make a sewing tote or add to any other handmade ideas.
Running stitch is made of up and down stitches of equal length. When finished,
take needle through to other side and run under the stitches on the wrong side of
the fabric for 3 to 4 stitches. This stitch is used to sew seams, as a gathering
stitch, when quilting and is great for outlining in decorative thread.

Hemming stitch is made by beginning the stitch inside the fabric that is folded
down and taking a few threads from the outer fabric, then bring the needle back
up through the edge of the fold. This stitch is mainly used when hemming any
sewing project.

Basting stitch is similar to the running stitch in that is is made of up an down


stitches, however, the basting stitch is made with long stitches and can be made
without knotting the thread so it can be easily taken out. The basting stitch is
used to hold two or more pieces of fabric together, usually so that the fabrics do
not shift while stitching the permanent stitches.

Catch stitch, also known as the Herringbone stitch, is worked making a


diagonal stitch from left to right across the fold, turn the needle to the left and
make a small stitch in the fabric from right to left, bring the needle out and up
towards the right to the folded fabric (forming an X with the thread), then with the
needle still turned to the left, make a small stitch in the fabric from right to left.
Continue making small stitches from right to left but crossing over the previous
stitching to form an X. This is another stitch used to hem sewing projects or to
securely attach something like handles to a sewing tote.

Slip stitch is made by bringing the needle out from the fold of the hem, hiding the
knotted end in the fold, pick up a few threads of the outside fabric and then
sticking needle into the fold and sliding it along the inside of the fold, bring the
needle back out and continue across in this fashion. This stitch is another hem
stitch.

Back stitch is made by bringing the needle up from the back of the fabric, stitch
back to the right and bring the needle back up to the left leaving a space between
where the needle comes up and the beginning of the last stitch, continue across
repeating these steps. The back stitch is the strongest hand stitch and is made to
imitate machine sewing and as an outline stitch in decorative stitching.

Overcast stitch is made by making diagonal stitches over the raw edge of the
fabric. The stitches should be the same length and equally spaced. Overcast
stitches are used to prevent the fabric from fraying. The length of the stitch should
be related to how badly the fabric will fray.

Invisible stitch is made in between the two fabrics, taking a few threads from the
top fabric and then a few threads from the bottom fabric. This is used to draw two
edges together invisibly for projects that have two edges that have been turned
under, such as lining when sewing dresses and suits, sewing on an applique.

There is no doubt that even if you plan to only sew dresses by machine that you
will find many times that you will sew stitches like these to add beauty to your
finished project. Practiced often you will be sewing easy each sewing stitch.

Repairing Guest Property

Learning Objective: After reading the INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST BE able
to;
1. Follow the procedure in repairing guest property.
Procedure:
1. Replacing of buttons; it should be the same buttons with the original,
use thread that is similar with the color of the dress.

2. Mending tears use thread similar to the cloth.

Replacing of buttons

Replacing a button on the waistband of a pair of jeans is


enjoyable task. They were the lack of a button was due to a
lost battle with an expanding waistline. The strain on the
waistband where the button should be weakens the fabric
and sometimes causes a hole. To overcome these problems
reach for the button box, a sewing needle with a large eye-
hole, three matchsticks, sticky-tape and Dental Floss!

Now if you have the original button your problem is halved, if not look for one that
will neatly pass through the buttonhole. If a button slips easily through the
buttonhole, then it is not large enough and will open every five minutes. If it needs
force to go through then it is too big. Then pick a smaller flat button with the same
number of holes as the larger one.

Next find a little masking tape or sticky-tape and place the three matches in a row
and wrap them in the tape. For safety reasons used matches are best, we don’t
need any burnt fingers! This match stack will be placed between the top button
and the fabric to leave the threads long enough to form a shank.

Select the length of thread it on to the needle. Double the


thread and knot the end of it. Attach the thread to the
fabric with a double stitch and then push it through the
smaller button on the underside of the waistband. Place the
large button on the top fabric and stitch through the fabric
and the button. Make sure to slip the match stack in
between the fabric and upper button.

When you have stitched the buttons securely bring the


needle up through the bottom button and fabric, remove
the matchsticks and wind the thread around the threads
between the fabric and top button to give extra strength
and finally take the needle through to the back and finish
off with a small double stitch.

Now you only have one problem, how to conceal the


‘white’ thread in the centre of a dark button. Use your loaf
Rollerball or ink pen to darken it.

Pressing and presenting clothes

A. Pressing Guest Clothes

Whether you are an ironing novice or fairly confident in your pressing


prowess, there are some tips and tricks out there from which everyone can
benefit.

1: Always read labels

Those pesky labels that tickle us in all the wrong places are actually valuable
little nuggets of information when it comes to clothing care, especially where
ironing is concerned. Washing clothes in water of the wrong temperature could
shorten their life, but ironing your favorite blouse at the wrong temperature can
spell disaster.

2: Make the best use of your board

Adjusting your board to suit your clothing is a huge time-saver. You may not
realize it, but the wide, flat end of your ironing board is ideal for ironing dress
shirts. If you line up the crease at the top of the sleeve with the corner of the
board, you can iron an entire quarter of the shirt at once.

3: The perfect crease

Most dress shirts, pants, and jackets are made with a poly-cotton blend,
which is structured to hold its shape. To make a strong crease, set the iron at
the hottest possible setting for the fabric, spray the crease area with a fair
amount of water and go over it very slowly with the iron. This is helpful for
removing unintentional double creases or those really stubborn wrinkles in
new dress shirts.

4: Ironing miscellaneous items


To iron a large amount of miscellaneous items quickly, try ironing as you
fold. Begin folding the items on top of the ironing board. Run a hot iron
gently down each newly folded section, blasting it with steam as you go. The
steam will penetrate a couple of layers at once, saving you tons of time. Don't
go over the edges, as you don't necessarily want creases in your T-shirts or
sheets.
