Small Hotel Organizational Chart

It is the best example of a small hotel organizational chart. In this chart, a hierarchical business model is implemented. As we have mentioned above, the hierarchical structural model can be used in small hotels or businesses, and so happened here. The leading department or position is the corporate manager, and then the general manager comes. There is the cycle of front office manager, housekeeper, front desk attendant, waiter, and corporate owner positions. The waiter is only connected to another position through the F&B manager.

Medium Hotel Organizational Chart

This medium-size hotel implements the hierarchical structure from the business or hotel organizational chart types. The central departments include the ground and maintenance, housekeeping and custodial, recreational services, hospitality, food, and beverage. The chart does not have leading positions like the executives or board of directors. The hospitality department manages some small positions. The diagram only implements the hierarchical structure, but other systems can also be implemented.

Large Hotel Organizational Chart

It is the best example of a large hotel organizational structure or chart. The hotel is implementing both hierarchical and matrix structures because the departments work cross-functionally. The general manager is the head of the managing department, and below him are other micro-managers. Below the deputy manager, we get positions like financial director, front office manager, hr manager, food manager, sales and logistics manager. The chart also shows some degree of the functional structure due to a lot of departments.
