Publisher's Synopsis
Some say that the word 'concierge' is derived from a Latin word 'conservus' which translates to 'fellow slave', while some say that it has evolved from the French 'comte des cierges', which means 'the keeper of the candles', which was essentially the main duty of concierges during the Middle Ages. Nonetheless, the meaning and the duties of the concierges have changed over time. They now perform almost every task for top-level managers, VIP customers of banks and hotels, superstars, or anyone who have enough money to outsource their work to them.
So, what is a concierge? A concierge is an individual or a company which is specialised in personal assistance or any other assistance services like household management, lifestyle management, transportation, travel and vacation planning, etc. and provides such personalized services to its clients (usually high-net-worth clients) at a variable price. The idea is to save the time of the client by performing their routine or specialized tasks.
