CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION OF REPORT
1.1 Background

This report is the assurance of my internship in Alian Radisson Blu . I spend my nine
months of time in the training over hotel industry. The report is my own activities and
experience gathered during my internship. Hotel report means the collection of
learning during intern and college period learning in written or typed form.
Hospitality student have to do intern in 6th and 7th semester, intern can be done inside
or outside the country. During internship, hospitality students learn how to deal with
guest and gain new experiences and determine them with their theory and college
learning part.

Within country, students have to show their previous semester result and have to face
interview. And for outside country, student have to send their document through fax
or agent can come to collect the document and for interview. After these, Human
resource (HR) will take interview through social networking sites and will confirm the

INTERNSHIP REPORT
result. Student of each hotel should prepare hotel report and submit to Tribhuvan
University.

Hotel report Contains Total 200 Full Marks. Hence hotel report is prepared in sixth
and seventh semester, each student for their specific hotel which is submitted to
Tribhuvan University and student observing through their hotel report by faculty
member and marks are given.

An internship is a period of work experience offered by an employer to give students


and graduates exposure to the working environment, often within a specific industry,
which relates to their field of study . An internship is a structured experience that re-
lates to a student's major and/or career goal which enhances a student's academic, ca-
reer, and personal development. It enhances a student's academic, career, and personal
development. It relates to a student's major and/or career goal. It enhances a student's
academic, career, and personal development. It is paid or unpaid, part-time or full-
time and is mutually agreed upon by the student, supervisor and/or faculty member.
As from the research from Graduate Advantage proves that internships do create jobs
for graduates. It showed that 81% of interns are now employed and 74% of those are
either in permanent employment or are on a long term contract. Of these, 68% believe
their internship helped them to gain their current position and an impressive 33% are
still working with their internship organization.

As the data above states internship helps the intern to learn about a career field from
the inside and decide if this is the right career field. It also provides an opportunity to
observe the workplace and see if it matches expectation as well as gain knowledge
about a specific industry. Internship help to gain experience and learn new set of skills
to ones knowledge while gaining confidence. It provides opportunity to practice com-
munication and teamwork skill.
Internship also works as a bridge between school and the professional world. The
knowledge which we acquire from books are used during the internship. It helps us to
apply the theory into real life practices. It converts theoretical knowledge into practi-
cal knowledge. An internship provide practical skills, workplace experience and
greater knowledge about the industry, in exchange for the employer benefiting from
ones labor.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Moreover, Internship creates a professional network that can assist with letters of rec-
ommendation or lead to future employment opportunities. Internship provides stu-
dents with an opportunity to work in career related of professional environment and
also gives them a chance to evaluate, reflect upon and try a career field. It also helps
in developing self-confidence as they can identify their skills, abilities and talents.
Thus, internships helps an individual to combine theory with practical work experi-
ence.

BHM (Bachelor in Hotel Management) has been designed to prepare the students to
enter the hospitality industry at the supervisory level in the area of hotel operation. It
consists of a 4 year course, which is divided into 8 semesters, to prepare the students
to enter the world of hospitality as leaders and managers with a strategic approach to
business. The first five semesters concerns about the general theoretical knowledge of
hotel industry. Then in sixth and seventh semester the students are provided with an
internship program either abroad or within the country. The internship is very essen-
tial for the BHM course, as the students get an opportunity to work in the real hotel
industry and know its functions. Hence, it is also known as industrial exposure.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
1.3 Methodology
In order to prepare my internship report, I used information from different reliable
sources through different methods like personal experience. I also used secondary
sources like Google.

Organization Selection
Internship provides work experiences to the students and also works as a bridge be-
tween theoretical and practical knowledge. Internship is provided by different busi-
ness hubs, hotels, banks and other sectors. As for BHM students were require to select
the hotels for their internship.

One of the major task was to select the hotel for the internship program. As a student
of BHM we were allowed to choose the hotel as well as the country for the internship
program. We had option in terms of country like Dubai, China, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, Germany or our own country Nepal etc , departments like F&B Service
department, Kitchen Department, Housekeeping Department, HR Department and
properties like star hotels .

Food and Beverage Service department was always my first selection. Food and Bev-
erage Department (F&B) is responsible for maintaining high quality of food and ser-
vice, food costing, managing restaurants, bars, etc. Food and Beverage Service is the
service of food made in the kitchen and drinks prepared in the Bar to the Customers
(Guest) at the Food & Beverage premises. I have always been interested in providing
the best service to the guest. Hence the first reason I chose the F&B Department .

Alain in 2018 and 2019 was awarded as World Travel Award and is considered as one

INTERNSHIP REPORT
of the best hotel in Alain. The awards and recognition attracted me to apply for the in-
ternship. Alain was the center of the UAE and was also the land of opportunities. We
were given the chance to work directly under Bernard O’Neil, Hotel Manager of the
Alain . I worked there as a trainee in the Food and Beverage Service department for
nine months. Choosing Alain was a right choice where I got to learn more about the
F&B Department and level up my skills. I found family like employees and the super-
visors who always helped me learn utmost and also made me believe the power of co-
operative team work.

1.3.2 Placement
As per the memorandum of understanding between Alain and NATHM college, the
human resource department of Radisson chose me as a qualified applicant to partici-
pate in industrial training. I was allocated to the F&B department as a server.
1.3.3 Duration and Activities
As per the requirement ,Tribhuvan University has designed the internship program for
48 weeks i.e one year period. But unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic I was
only able to complete nine months of my internship starting from 25th of June 2019 to
25th March 2020.

As a student of hotel management I already had some knowledge about the F&B de-
partment and how it operates but it was totally a new experience working and learning
in a luxurious hotel. I got an opportunity to work in an all day dining restaurant which
was the busiest restaurant of the hotel. Working here I got to know how the restaurant
activities are operated and the varieties of works involved to make one complete work
done. Similarly, i got to know about the buffet system, menu explanation, placing the
orders, serving the drinks,using micros, billing procedures(opening and closing) , han-
dling work pressure etc. I was very alert and keen to learn the various works per-
formed at the department and my curiosity was also fulfilled to its limit.

CHAPTER 2

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging and fooding facilities to the guest in
return of the payment for short term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in
times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a
washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-
suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features
found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, a safe, a mini-bar
with snack foods and drinks, and facilities for making tea and coffee. Luxury features
include bathrobes and slippers, a pillow menu, twin-sink vanities, and Jacuzzi
bathtubs. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming
pool, fitness center, business center, childcare, conference facilities and social
function services
Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&BS) to
allow guests to identify their room. Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and
board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food
and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a
minimized amount of room space and shared facilities.

According to WORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATION (WTO) tourist accommodation


is used to denote the facilities for short term facilities operated for short term
accommodation of guest, either with or without service against payment and
according to fixed rates. As it is said that hotel is “A home Away from Home” so the
guest also seeks all the facilities that comforts them just like at their home.

Growth of Hotel Industry

INTERNSHIP REPORT
The hotel industry is perhaps one of the oldest commercial endeavors in the world.
The emergence of the hotel as a significant commercial institution, however, is a
development of the past few centuries and may be traced by example in the U.S., The
location of the hotels had always been related to the transportation available. During
colonial time hotel were usually situated in seaport towns, but by the end of the 18th
centuries, when the stagecoach had increased travel within the U.S., many inns and
taverns were constructed to offer lodgings along highway routes. After the
construction of railways in the 19th centuries, largest hotels were built near railroad
stations to accommodate railway travelers. Standards of comfort rose and service
appreciable and in the large cities the types of lodging provided by some hotels
became luxurious. The old Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City and the brown
palace in Denver, Colorado, were among the first such luxury hotels, but their rates
were too high for the average travelers.

The leader in the Hotel Industry was taken by the emerging nations of Europe,
especially Switzerland, but the real growth of modern hotel industry took place in
USA with the inception of "City Hotel" in New York in 1794. Another significant
trend begun in the 1920s was towards corporate hotels than individual ownership of
hotels. This was the result of the steadily increasing costs of building and operating
hotels. The real boom in the hotel industry was seen with the immergence of the
Chain operation started by the E.M. Statler during this era. It allows for efficient
management through the use of mass purchasing, central reservation and billings and
extensive advertising and promotion Champaign’s. Today about 30% of all American
hotels and motels are affiliated with chain or franchised groups.

Development of the Hotel in Nepal

It was only the five decades back that the hotel building concept has been started. The
“Himalayan inn” and the “Paras inn” were considered as the first hotel established in
Nepal in 1950 and 1951. The credit goes to Mr. Nara Shamsher Rana, for the first
time invited the foreign hotel expert Mr. Mandis for managing and training his staffs

INTERNSHIP REPORT
as well as hotel at his own palace, where staff college in currently operating. Despite
the certain factors, the hotel remained closed after one year and Mr. Mandis joined to
Hotel show views, which was located at lazimpat.

It was in 1954 A.D., Mr. Boritch Lissanevitch the Russian master chef was invited to
organize a banquet party for the 160 royal invitees during the coronation of late King
Mahendra Shah. Mr. Boritch was requested to stay in Nepal and help to promote and
organize hotel and tourism industry by the king in the same year, first tourist standard
hotel named "Hotel Royal" located at the BahadurBhawan, Kantipath, was introduced
with the assistance of Mr. Boritch. By the year 1958, hotels like Coronation, Hotel
Green View, Hotel Emperor, Hotel Panorama etc were established. The Hotel Royal
got closed at 1960, and Mr. Boritch started a restaurant called "Yak & Yeti" at Lal
Durbar, which later converted into "Hotel Yak & Yeti". In the year 1964, the first four
star hotel of Nepal named "Hotel Shankar”, located at Lazimpat was established. In
the same year after 9 months, "Hotel Del' Annapurna", located at the Durbar Marg has
been established, which was the first five star hotel in Nepal where as "Hotel
Soaltee"was the second hotel was the second five star hotel in Nepal, located at
Tahachal, was introduced in the year 1966.

Realizing the organizational needs and the promotion of hotel, Hotel Association of
Nepal (HAN) has been established in 1967. In the year 1972, "Hotel Blue Star" has
been established, located at Thapathali, Kathmandu. Slowly and gradually, with the
increase in the number of tourists visiting Nepal has created a new dimension in the
field of hotel industry. By the end of 2008, there were almost 9 five star hotels, more
than 20 four star and three star hotels and more than 100s of tourist standard hotels,
located inside and outside the valley.

2009 to present; Rebrand as Radisson Blu

The Radisson Blu brand first came into being in 2009 when Radisson SAS
rebranded and changed its name to Radisson Blu.The name ‘Blu’ was
chosen as part of a research project to find a new visual identity as the
company looked to replace the familiar SAS blue box.

The Rezidor Hotel Group in the EMEA and does not include Radisson
Edwardian Hotels in the United Kingdom or Radisson hotels operated in
the Americas, Asia Pacific or other parts of the world.

The word "Blu" is a stylized, shortened version of the word "blue",


derived from the blue colored box that contained the "SAS" name on the

reflect both an international style and innovative, contemporary approach
to hospitality that is reflected in the Radisson SAS portfolio.

OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE

My supervisor at the time of my internship was F&B Manager of Radisson Blu, Mr.
Jitu He gave me a tour to the key area of the hotel. We were also made familiariza-
tions with the working area. I was also given the orientation and was taught wiping
cutleries, napkin folding, table setup, tray setup ,back area handling ,basic knowledge
of the coffee station and bar and buffet setup. After the training and orientation I
started my work. First I was given the work in room service. But later after seeing my
performance, my supervisor allowed me to supervise and take lead on different part of
the hotel. It was a exciting and new learning experience for me.

ROOM SERVICE

Room service is a part of the hotel operations where food and beverages is served
conveniently to the respective guest rooms by calling the room service department
and place order of food and beverages to be sent to their room. It is a 24 hours service
organized as a subdivision within the Food & Beverage Department of high-end hotel
and resort properties. Some of the Duties I have done during my internship program
includes checking of mini bars upon check out, collecting breakfast menus every
morning, sending food and beverage and room amenities to the guest. I also did other
delivery services, cutlery and trays. Room service also extends to alcoholic
drinks.Those guests who wants to eat in privacy or outside of regular restaurant hours
prefer room service.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
The organisation chart of Food and Beverage Service department should provide a
clear picture of the lines of authority and the channels of communication within the
department. In a large hotel, the department is headed by the Food and Beverage Di-
rector who is assisted by the respective outlet managers / Asst. F&B Manager.
F&B Service department chart not only provides for a systematic direction of orders
but also protects employees from being over directed. The organogram chart shows
that each employee should take orders only from the person directly above him/her.
A copy of the chart should be posted in an area so that all F&B staff can see where
they fit into the overall organization of the department. Ideally, the organization chart
needs to be placed on the F&B office notice board and the back of the house area of
each F&B Outlet.

The food and beverage manager is the head of the food and beverage service in a
large hotel. He is responsible for the overall functioning of the food and beverage de-
partment. He prepares job roster and is involved in selecting and recruiting of F & B
staff. He organizes regular meetings with the outlet heads and reports to the general
manager.

The F&B manager in coordination with the executive chef updates the menu. He
evaluates the food cost and revenue to determine the effectiveness of his department.
He is also responsible for quality control, manpower development and budgeting of F
& B department.

• The F & B Manager ensures quality control in terms of efficiency of staff.

• This F & B Manager ensures the quality for, selection, remnant, training, pro-

motions, transfers and dismissals in the department.

• Constantly evaluating systems and keeping the top management informed.

Items of cutlery and crockery with their uses


Food and Beverage service unit is one of the most important departments of the hotel
and restaurant business. It is direct contact with the guest. The service of this depart-
ment determines the quality of the hotel. To service the guest it needs different types
of equipment. Some tools are used to store, some are used to carry food and others
used to serve. Some are used by customers and some are used by the waiters. The
items used on the table are known as Tableware. The tableware is classified as hol-
lowware and cutlery/ flatware.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

To do my intern in Radisson Blu Alain was a great opportunity for me to learn


and understand the real working environment. I got a very good chance to experi-
ence the real life scenario of top rated hotels. After working for 9 months as a
trainee I got a chance to be familiar to the working environment of the hotel. I do
believe that being an intern I am not experienced enough to recommend any
changes or comment about the operating procedure of Radisson Blu Alain, but
there are certain things that I personally think should be considered about:
Trainees should be briefed properly before giving any responsibility.

· Trainees should not be considered as workers.

· Shortage of servicing staff. Therefore servicing staff need to be hired.


· Management should give due care for extra work of the employee.

· Positive motivation should be given to the employees rather than negative mo-
tivation.

· Food promotion should be held frequently.

· The employees should be given training to improve their work knowledge,


skills, and to improve the service standard.

· There should be sufficient staff in every department.

· The recruitment should be based on hospitality and tourism educational back-


ground.

· There should be special marketing activity during off seasons.

· The feeling “this is our property must be in every one aimed than only the
property can be protected.

CHAPTER VII

CONCLUSION

The Internship Exposure makes me realize that theoretical education is not enough
to allow graduates to perform at a higher level. In the real floor, analytical skills
are not enough. Students must have both theoretical as well as practical knowl-
edge. By effectively using internships, students will increase their skills and make
them valuable in the job market. Their employers will benefit as well, and they
can increase the efficiency of their business.

Their employers will benefit as well, and they can increase the efficiency of their
business. The hotel management institute must increase the internship period for
the students up to one year rather than six months training as it would be more ef-
fective for them.

Every hotel must have their door open for the HM trainees as they are found to be
as qualified as well skilled and beneficial for the hotel too. The trainees must be
remunerated with certain amounts so as it can also be a motivational factor to-
wards the trainee in working more efficiently, which can benefit both the trainee
as well as the hotel.
