Banquet sales supervisor jobs

What does a Banquet Sales Supervisor do?

A Banquet Sales Supervisor supports the Banquet Sales Manager with the daily operations of the department. You help coordinate incoming enquiries and bookings, guide team members and ensure effective communication between the hotel's commercial and operational teams.

You work closely with Banquet Sales Executives, Event Coordinators and other hotel departments, including Food & Beverage, the kitchen and Front Office.

Depending on the hotel, your responsibilities may include:

• Coordinating and reviewing enquiries for meetings, conferences and events.

• Supervising, coaching and supporting Banquet Sales team members.

• Preparing, reviewing and following up on quotations and commercial proposals.

• Building and maintaining relationships with corporate clients and event organisers.

• Monitoring event bookings, agreements, deadlines and client requirements.

• Identifying sales opportunities and supporting the achievement of revenue targets.

• Ensuring that event details are accurately communicated to operational departments.

• Identifying opportunities to improve internal processes and guest satisfaction.

• Assisting with the training and onboarding of new team members.

The exact responsibilities vary depending on the hotel. In smaller teams, you may handle a significant number of client enquiries and reservations yourself. In larger hotels, your responsibilities may focus more on supervising colleagues, monitoring service quality and coordinating sales activities.
