Core 1 Part 2

My future profession is, at the moment, hospitality management. I did a little research as to what a lodging manager uses technology for, and they really use it to keep the hotel up and running. For the economic side of the business, I will use computers to keep track of guest reservations, current bills, events, which guests are in which rooms, as well as employee records and paycheck systems. There is so much more that computers are also used for. I will use technology to order food and drinks for the hotel, sheets and bedding, anything really that the hotel will be needing is ordered online now. Most hotels have wireless internet, or at least an office room with a computer, internet, and printer. Being able to work and possibly fix these will be an important asset to have. I will be using programs such as excel, and word to keep track of records and write out memos and schedules. I could also use the internet to communicate with my staff, and future guests. In order for me to be successful at these tasks I could take a computer class here at UCF, but most of the training I believe will be on the job because each hotel might use different programs and have different preferences about how everything is done.
