The innkeeping structure acknowledges that everyone is an equal part of the inn experience: your staff, your guests, and you the innkeeper. You set the stage for the experience and then everyone that enters the inn brings their own energy off of which everyone plays. This approach may help innkeepers avoid burnout. You can't be responsible for everyone's experience, though you definitely should maintain some control. All players have responsibility for the success of the experience. This is a very important dynamic of giving. Maybe you can also think of yourself as the "inngiver".
Let's look at two definitions to help you further decide what your style will be.
To keep: to observe, regard, to support, care for, maintain, to manage.
To give: to present as a gift, to exchange or trade, to commit.
Both innkeeping styles are valuable in a hospitality environment. Which one fits your personality better and the guest experience you are going to offer.
An organizational structure is a hierarchical concept of subordination, it defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped and coordinated. Most common organizational designs that are found in use are simple structure, the bureaucracy and the matrix structure.
The Simple Structure
The simple structure is a "Flat" organization, it usually contains two or three verticals levels of hierarchy, a slack body of employees and one individual whom decision making authority is centralized. The simple structure is not elaborated and mostly practiced in small organizations where manager and owner are one and the same. It has relatively small degree of departmentalization, wide spans of control, authority controlled by one person and little formalization. The strength of simple structure is that it is fast, flexible and inexpensive to maintain and having clear accountability but its weak point is that it is only applicable in small organizations.
