- 1. Overcoming Human Resource (HR) Problems in Hospitality
For companies engaged in hospitality, an indicator that the company can achieve success is when customers are satisfied with the provided services. Customer satisfaction is a priority and vital for the hospitality industry, where customer satisfaction will affect hotel ratings so that it can increase or even decrease hotel ratings and branding. The problems that often occur in the hospitality sector are problems related to skills, knowledge and attitudes that are not good at work, as well as frequent conflicts between departments. If these problems are not resolved as soon as possible, they will have a much greater negative effect. Problematic skills, knowledge, and attitudes will directly impact hotel customers, while conflicts between departments will result in high employee turnover due to disharmony between employees. Therefore, to solve this problem, management must know the factors that cause this problem. Several factors cause HR problems in hotels which are errors in recruitment procedures; there is no ongoing training; teamwork that is not solid; lack of collaboration, coordination, and collaboration between departments; job descriptions that are too complicated and ineffective; and information technology that is not by the needs of the company. To solve hotel HR problems, among others, it can be done as follows. Firstly, select employees professionally. Define job specifications correctly. Adjust the job specifications to the needs of the hospitality company, such as the addition of certification provisions and soft skills that are suitable for hospitality conditions (friendly, empathetic, patient, good communication, etc). Secondly, improve inefficient workflow. You need to ensure that each position's job description is appropriate. Unclear job descriptions and complicated coordination flow will make it difficult for employees to carry out their duties properly. Thirdly, building cooperation by creating solid teamwork. Forming an effective and reliable work team is not as easy as turning the palm. It takes a special strategy and a lot of time to dive into the process and get the results. The best way to build a team or team building is to make sure your team members have good coordination, communication, and collaboration. Fourthly, building teamwork collaboration, for example front office teams, marketing, Human Resources, and restaurants must work together. Look for ways and alternatives to improve team collaboration so there is no miscommunication, data discrepancies, and clear delegation of tasks. Fifthly, maintain communication with your team, either with team members know each other's characteristics and how each works. Then, cooperation will be formed. Maintaining communication is very important. Make sure you have met the needs of a communication tool that can be used anywhere and anytime. Work productivity will increase by knowing how to properly solve hotel HR problems. Along with that, hotel customer satisfaction will also increase.

- 11. Rattan chairs are becoming a new trend and they are currently in great demand. This furniture is more expensive than furniture made of wood. It is because of the complexity of the manufacturing process. However, the maintenance of rattan furniture is easier and lasts longer. The manufacturing process is not arbitrary; it requires special expertise to manufacture.
Before making rattan chairs, prepare the following tools and materials. The tools needed are a nail gun, nails, staple gun, staples, rattan scissors, sandpaper and sanding tools, bending equipment, hand drills, measuring tools, saws, and paintbrushes. The materials needed are rattan sticks, polished rattan, paint, kerosene, and water. In the process of making wicker rattan chairs, several stages are carried out, including the following. The first step is making the chair frame using a bending tool so the rattan can be curved according to the design model. The second step is the plaiting process. The purpose of this weaving process is to cover the chair frame according to the type of chair and its design. For standard chair types, we don't need much rattan, while wicker chairs use polished rattan, a type of rattan that has been cleaned of its skin, commonly called white rattan. Polished rattan is used to cover the surface of the chair. Then, the rattan is glued using manual staples or shooting nails, depending on the strength of the rattan used. The third step is to paint the chair, which involves using a brush to apply the base colour. The final step is the finishing process: sanding. The purpose of sanding is to remove rattan splinters manually with sandpaper. Once sanded, the chair is ready to be used or sold.
