Typical responsibilities include:
recruiting, training and supervising staff
managing budgets
maintaining statistical and financial records
planning maintenance work, events and room bookings
handling customer complaints and queries
promoting and marketing the business
ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation and licensing laws.
