Hospitality Retail Management
by Conrad Lashley'Hospitality Retail Management' provides students and managers with a practical guide to managing units in hospitality retail organizations. Customers rely on a particular chain of hotels, restaurants or pubs to provide the same level of service and environment across the board. This standardised service provides the customer with the security of knowing what to expect from that particular organisation. However, this standardisation allows little room for creativity for individual managers to respond to the particular needs of their local market. There is a growing realisation that there is greater profitability if the chain can offer both standardised services across all its retail operations while at the same time allowing local managers the freedom to interpret the needs of its local market as they see fit.'Hospitality Retail Management' shows managers and students how competitive advantage can be gained by adopting management techniques which are both 'tight and loose', and demonstrates how you can manage businesses with well-defined objectives while also allowing local managers to interpret their local market as they see fit.Conrad Lashley has done extensive consultancy with companies such as McDonalds and uses case studies from these companies to reiterate key issues throughout the text.

Hospitality Security: Managing Security in Today’s Hotel, Nightlife, Entertainment, and Tourism Environment
by Darrell CliftonHospitality Security: Managing Security in Today’s Hotel, Nightlife, Entertainment, and Tourism Environment, Second Edition provides experience-based, proven methods for preventing and resolving the challenges faced by today’s hospitality security staff and leadership. The lodging component of a hospitality environment creates challenges to the security professional by its complex set of assets and amenities—especially when combined with gaming environments. Whether the reader is establishing, or improving, a professional, proactive proprietary security force, or the manager of a boutique hotel, the practical methods described herein are applicable to everyone. Author Darrell Clifton takes the reader through a logical and methodical process to first evaluate what risks are inherent to hospitality environments, how to assess those risks through threat and vulnerability assessments and methods to mitigate, eliminate, or transfer them. The book stresses the importance of prevention and investigation into the root causes of incidents as a tool for avoiding future undesirable events. This is especially important in that each registered guest brings with them their own unique set of circumstances, family values, problems, and social issues. The security function must operate to protect their individual rights, their right to privacy, and their desire to enjoy the facilities they are patronizing while contributing to the revenue stream. This must be balanced with the obligation, or duty, to provide reasonable care from foreseeable harm by the hotel to avoid incidents and litigation. Clifton, an experienced industry veteran, clearly establishes and identifies practical, reasonable, and cost-effective ways to accomplish this balancing of guest enjoyment with guest protection. This new edition includes expanded content on premises liability, security force behavioral recognition, workplace violence, active shooter scenarios, evacuation planning, social media and guest reviews, and hotel scams. Additional coverage on nightclubs and bars has been added including four entirely new chapters on specialized security for events and venues, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), advances in technology, and industry trends for the gaming and hospitality sector.
