Why Etiquette and Grooming in Hospitality Careers Matter

In the world of hospitality, etiquette and grooming define how professionals are perceived and how far they advance in their careers. Today, recruiters prioritize these soft skills over technical degrees. According to Livemint, soft skills have become non-negotiable in hospitality hiring. That’s why Dr. Narayana Degree College of Hotel Management treats etiquette and grooming in hospitality as career-defining—not just add-ons.

Imagine walking into a luxury hotel where the front desk manager is well-spoken, neatly dressed, and greets you with a warm smile. You instantly feel respected. Now imagine walking into the same hotel where the staff appears poorly dressed, disinterested, and untrained Even a 5-star building loses its appeal.

That’s the difference etiquette makes — and that’s why it’s a core part of the syllabus at Dr. Narayana.
