The Little penguins, and their mythological friends face perils dusted with drama and sprinkled with magic, to get the coach safely home to London. The Magic Carriage ventures to times, places and people, with very un-boring history. The Coachmaker, one of the last of his kind in the world, is a treasure hunter of unusual objects. After recycling a hundred bits and pieces collected from famous inventions, buildings, ships, aircraft and the like, he decorated the interior of the Queen's new coach with them. Here a bit of Spitfire, there a piece of Shakespeare's mulberry tree. Though his collection seems far-fetched, this part of the story is true. These artefacts possess supernatural energy, which draws the magic carriage and its unlikely travelling companions into realms not always of the here and now. Happenstance unites them in a mission to guard the Magic Carriage and get it safely home to London. Five little Australian penguins, The Lion and the Unicorn, The Harp of Ireland, The Goddess Britannia, St. George and his Dragon, each play their part to protect crown property, as they face perils beyond their wildest dreams. Imagine the Queen's response when her beautiful new coach arrives unexpectedly in London packed with little penguins. Let the Magic Carriage convey you and your loved ones, for generations to come, into a timeless fairy penguin tale, where blended facts and fiction brings to life some truly wonderful people, places and mythology from around the globe.

Book excerpt: The front office is the nerve center of a hotel property. Communications and accounting are two of the most important functions of a front desk operation. Front office/reception is the first place where guests/customers arrive and come in touch with the staff. Front office/reception is the mirror of a hotel. The function of the front office is to directly get in touch with customers. The front office can discover more information about the customer by asking them questions and give answer ask by guest/customer also helping the customers out. Broadly speaking, front office includes roles that affect the right side (revenues) of trading statement of the business. Effective communications--with guests, employees, and other departments of the hotel--are paramount in projecting a hospitable image. Answering guest inquiries about hotel services and other guests, marketing and sales department requests for information on guest room availability, and housekeeping department inquiries concerning guest reservations are but a few of the routine tasks performed almost constantly by a hotel front desk in its role as communications hub. Accounting procedures involving charges to registered and nonregistered hotel guest accounts are also important in the hospitality field. Staff working in the front office can also deal with simple tasks, such as sorting emails and helping on printing and typing tasks. Front office staff needs to use different skills on technologies too, such as using the printers, fax machines and phone. The book Hotel Front Office Management addresses the demands for instructing future leaders of the hotel industry. Educators who are preparing professionals for roles as front office managers and general managers in hotels are required to meet the challenges of operations, technology, training, empowerment, and international applications.
Download or read book Heads in Beds written by Jacob Tomsky and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Kitchen Confidential and Waiter Rant, a rollicking, eye-opening, fantastically indiscreet memoir of a life spent (and misspent) in the hotel industry. “Highly amusing."—New York Times Jacob Tomsky never intended to go into the hotel business. As a new college graduate, armed only with a philosophy degree and a singular lack of career direction, he became a valet parker for a large luxury hotel in New Orleans. Yet, rising fast through the ranks, he ended up working in “hospitality” for more than a decade, doing everything from supervising the housekeeping department to manning the front desk at an upscale Manhattan hotel. He’s checked you in, checked you out, separated your white panties from the white bed sheets, parked your car, tasted your room-service meals, cleaned your toilet, denied you a late checkout, given you a wake-up call, eaten M&Ms out of your minibar, laughed at your jokes, and taken your money. In Heads in Beds he pulls back the curtain to expose the crazy and compelling reality of a multi-billion-dollar industry we think we know. Heads in Beds is a funny, authentic, and irreverent chronicle of the highs and lows of hotel life, told by a keenly observant insider who’s seen it all. Prepare to be amused, shocked, and amazed as he spills the unwritten code of the bellhops, the antics that go on in the valet parking garage, the housekeeping department’s dirty little secrets—not to mention the shameless activities of the guests, who are rarely on their best behavior. Prepare to be moved, too, by his candor about what it’s like to toil in a highly demanding service industry at the luxury level, where people expect to get what they pay for (and often a whole lot more). Employees are poorly paid and frequently abused by coworkers and guests alike, and maintaining a semblance of sanity is a daily challenge. Along his journey Tomsky also reveals the secrets of the industry, offering easy ways to get what you need from your hotel without any hassle. This book (and a timely proffered twenty-dollar bill) will help you score late checkouts and upgrades, get free stuff galore, and make that pay-per-view charge magically disappear. Thanks to him you’ll know how to get the very best service from any business that makes its money from putting heads in beds. Or, at the very least, you will keep the bellmen from taking your luggage into the camera-free back office and bashing it against the wall repeatedly.
