Have a map with the hotel location already designated on it. This will save time and ques- tions by the guests and, of course, make it easier to identify where they are. If the guests need to converse with the desk staff they can, if not, they can look at the map and figure out where to go. Technique 166 Use Mobile Roulette Wheel to Reduce Perceived Waiting Times; If check-in gets busy unexpectedly, have an associate from another department roll in a mobile roulette type wheel.
