What is a commercial concierge?

A commercial building concierge greets tenants, employees and/or guests. In addition, the concierge follows the building procedures for all visitors, deliveries and contractors, ensuring they check in with the concierge when entering the property. They provide directions, information about the local area and in some cases also manage conference facilities. Creating a sense of community within the building, they will assist property managers with new tenant welcome packages, anniversary gifts, tenant appreciation events, and charitable drives. They are an integral part of the property team and recognize the importance of being the eyes and ears of the property. A commercial concierge can also provide more complex services such as travel arrangements, party planning, gift baskets, dry cleaning, pet sitting /walking, wine tastings, tickets to events, golf lessons, tee times, and many more.

What is a residential front desk concierge?

A residential front desk concierge greets residents and their guests and ensures service providers check in and out when on site. Depending on building policy, visitors and service providers are announced and only granted access if approved by the resident, either verbally or through prior authorization. They also manage packages, keys, maintenance requests, arrange events, and serve as the eyes and ears of the property. The concierge team can assist in obtaining additional services that are convenient and time-saving such as dry cleaning delivery, gift baskets, wine tastings, tickets to events, party planning, dry cleaning, house cleaning, pet sitting/walking, transportation services, golf lessons, tee times, and many more. Most importantly, a residential front desk concierge helps create a strong sense of community among residents.
