• Review daily sales reports for accuracy — correct checkout errors, open invoices, and duplicate transactions
• Follow up with guests on failed payment plans and outstanding balances

Guest Experience & Team

• Work the front desk with the team — check guests in and out, book appointments, sell memberships and retail, and hit your own sales goals
• Track new guest profiles and follow up after first visits to confirm satisfaction

• Resolve guest concerns professionally; respond to inquiries within 24–48 hours
