The Night Auditor takes over the hotel reception desk for the night. They enable late check-in and, in addition to attending to guests' needs, also take care of the end of the day and IT activities relating to reception. The night auditor is also known as the night porter. Working hours usually start at 10 pm and end at 6 am.
A major problem in the hotel industry is that staffing levels for night shifts are often low. In practice, there is a high turnover of staff for night shifts in particular. However, upscale hotels also need a trustworthy and responsible contact person for their guests at night.
To ensure continuity in night-time operations and avoid the constant training of new employees, more and more hotels are turning to external night auditors. This guarantees smooth operations at all times. Seasonal differences in staffing requirements can also be easily compensated for - as can unforeseen shortfalls in the hotel's own staff.
