Grooming and Etiquette Training for Hotel Management Students: Why It’s a Game-Changer
Because Hospitality Begins With How You Carry Yourself
In the world of hospitality, how you behave often matters more than what you know.
Imagine walking into a luxury hotel where the front desk manager is well-spoken, neatly dressed, and makes eye contact with a warm smile. You instantly feel welcome, don’t you?
Now imagine the same hotel where the staff is rude, untidy, or uninterested. Even a 5-star building won’t impress you anymore.
That’s the power of etiquette and grooming in the hotel industry — and that’s why it’s not just an extra class at Dr. Narayana Degree College of Hotel Management.
It’s a core part of your training.
Why Is Grooming Part of the Syllabus?
Hospitality is a people-first industry. You’ll deal with guests, clients, international tourists, and sometimes even celebrities.
Grooming isn’t just about clothes or looks, it’s about showing respect for your job, your team, and your guests.
That’s why at Dr. Narayana College:
- You’re trained on personal hygiene, from hair to shoes
- You learn about professional attire for different roles (kitchen, front office, housekeeping, etc.)
- You get grooming audits regularly – yes, like a reality check!
- You practice positive body language, posture, and confidence
- You’re taught dining etiquette, guest interaction, and even table manners!
This is not a show-off. This is a career skill.
What Exactly Do You Learn in Etiquette Training?
At Dr. Narayana, we believe that “manners make professionals.” Here’s what goes into your etiquette training module:
Topic | Purpose |
---|---|
Greeting & Addressing Guests | Builds first impressions |
Dining & Serving Etiquette | Helps in F&B service roles |
Handling Complaints Gracefully | Prepares you for real-world situations |
Team Etiquette & Leadership | Trains you for future management roles |
Cross-Cultural Etiquette | Helps with international clients/jobs |
Elevator Pitch & Professional Introduction | Boosts confidence during interviews |
You’ll also participate in mock interviews, real-time roleplays, and presentation days — because we don’t just tell you what’s right, we make you practice it.
Uniforms & Presentation – What’s the Big Deal?
Students at Dr. Narayana College are expected to maintain their uniform with pride. This isn’t about strict rules—it’s about training you to be industry-ready.
In hotels, especially 4-star and 5-star ones, your grooming becomes part of the guest experience.
When you look sharp, guests trust the brand more.
And when you carry yourself with class, opportunities start chasing you.
“I Was a Simple Guy from Warangal…”
Let’s hear it from a real student:
“When I joined, I didn’t even know how to tie a tie. I used to be shy to speak in English. But now, after 3 semesters, I can confidently serve international guests and even guide tourists around Hyderabad!”
— Mahesh Kumar, Batch 2023
Final Words: It’s Not Just Learning… It’s Transformation.
At Dr. Narayana Degree College of Hotel Management, etiquette and grooming are not “optional soft skills.”
