Night manager

Runs the hotel overnight with full authority, covering security, emergencies, late arrivals and the audit. In larger hotels they lead a small night team rather than working alone.

A real shift

Takes the handover around 10pm, walks the building, handles incidents and noisy rooms, signs off the audit and briefs the morning duty manager. The hours are lonely but the decisions are real.
