Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central invites kids to learn the ropes of running a 5-star hotel. The Junior Hotelier experience is a weekend program for kids (aged 4–12) giving them firsthand knowledge about running a hotel as they receive guidance from the hotel’s talented culinary, front desk and housekeeping teams. The program debuts Easter weekend and continues through June 28.

“The Junior Hotelier at Sheraton Macao is a special program that takes edutainment to new heights,” said Josef Dolp, central managing director, Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai. “It is a rare opportunity for children to know the joy we have every day of creating exceptional stays and culinary experiences for Sheraton Macao guests and for them to better understand the inner workings of our hotel operations.”

The Sheraton Macao Junior Hotelier program will offer children the chance to learn various aspects of the hotel’s operations, taking on food and beverage roles such as junior barman or junior chef, and positions within the rooms division such as junior agent or junior housekeeper. To perform their duties, kids will don special Junior Hotelier uniforms consisting of job-appropriate apparel, such as a chef apron, chef hat and housekeeping apron.

Each child will complete a set of simple tasks under the tutelage of Sheraton Macao Hotel’s expert staff members on Saturdays and Sundays between 2:45 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. For example, Richard Lao, chef de partie, will lead the young Junior Chefs in rolling and shaping dough, preparing icing, and decorating cookies. Junior Agents will find out how to check in guests and handle luggage, as well as learn the importance of guest relations by setting up a room for a special celebration.
