5 star? How does that work then?

I work security at a hotel, and will be taking up employment with another hotel soon, which will run concurrently. This blog will therefore serve as an interesting insight into the hotel industry from a security perspective. It's got everything you could want: short staffed departments since nobody wants to work in hospitality anymore; cynicism; harsh reality; weird and wonderful guests; employee soap operas; plenty of office politics; managerial incompetence, all the ingredients for a good read!

What does a security officer do? Bloody everything it would seem. As well as doing the garden variety cash transit/handling work; key audits; door unlocking and locking; patrolling and first aid, we tend also to assist any other department which might be short staffed and is being hammered.

The purpose of this blog is to inform and entertain, and perhaps change your perspective as to what happens and why in the hotel industry. Please feel free to leave any comments, and I'll reply when I'm able to. Enjoy!
