This hotel front office check-out checklist outlines Ritz-Carlton service standards for a seamless guest departure. Key steps include warm welcome and eye contact, using the guest’s name, confirming satisfaction, checking for additional charges, reviewing and verifying an accurate, legible bill, and offering to print or email the folio. Staff should confirm payment method, ask for loyalty details when missing, and offer practical help such as printing a boarding pass or directions. The front desk facilitates luggage and transportation assistance, can arrange an escort to the exit, and ensures discretion throughout. Close with sincere appreciation, mention your name, and encourage a return visit. Targets: under 2 minutes in city hotels and 5 minutes in resorts.
