Role Description:

We are looking for a Reservations & Revenue Executive to join our centralized team in Bengaluru.

This is a hands-on role covering reservations, guest communication, hotel PMS management, OTA management, room inventory, pricing, billing, and check-in/check-out administration.

You will be responsible for ensuring that our rooms are correctly represented across our booking channels, reservations are accurately managed in our hotel management system, guests receive timely communication, and the booking process runs smoothly from initial enquiry through checkout.

This is a broad, hands-on hospitality role, not a traditional call-center or tele-sales role. While converting enquiries and maximizing revenue are important,



the role also requires strong attention to detail, comfort with technology, and the ability to manage hotel systems and online distribution channels.
