Front desk agents check guests in and out, assign rooms, take payment, and answer questions at a property's reception. They are usually the first person a guest speaks to about a booking problem, a room issue, or the surrounding area. Most of the work happens at a counter, moving between a property management system, a phone, and the person standing in front of you.
