Template 36 of 59
Hospitality
For front of house, events and hotel roles, where a photograph and a centred name block are still expected in much of the world. A warm old-style serif at an open leading, a dash bullet so a season reads as a season, and A4 because a European hospitality CV is nearly always a fourth sheet. The centred header is a convention, not a preference.
The numbers
Every figure below is a value in the template registry the builder ships (assets/js/render/templates.js), or a size derived from it by the same multipliers the document stylesheet uses. Body text is not the preset’s nominal point size: it is that figure corrected for the face’s optical size, which is why a 10 pt Helvetica preset renders at 11.73 pt here. Nothing on this page is a measured pass rate or a hiring outcome, because neither exists.
- Builder id
- hospitality
- Sheet
- A4, 8.27 × 11.69 in
- Margins
- 0.85 in on all four sides
- Body
- 11.51 pt, 1.48 line height
- Face
- Palatino, web-safe. Corrected for optical size: 10.6 pt of Palatino reads like 10.5 pt of the system face.
- Line length
- 68 characters, about 34 em, capped and centred
- Name
- 22.44 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 15.74 pt, no rule
- Section gap
- 19 pt. Entry gap 10 pt.
- Bullets
- En dash, 1.84 pt between them
- Columns
- One. No column split, and no risk of a misread reading order.
- Arrangement
- header set center; none rule under the header.
- Photo
- Slot in the header, empty until you add a picture.
- Accent
- #93370d, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Parsed applications: one column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its own line.
- A reader who reads properly. A 1.48 leading and 19 pt between sections is a page to sit with.
- Palatino, which is a reading face rather than a scanning one, at 11.51 pt.
- A page size of A4, which is what most of the mail in that country is.
Bad at
- A reader who wants the layout to say something about them. It is a document, not a signal.
- A second page, and anything that has to be skimmed. The air between sections is the first thing to go when space runs out.
- Screens, where a serif at 11.51 pt is a page people scroll past rather than read.
- Employers that ask for no photograph, where the slot is a page that is just longer.
- Printing on the other sheet, which is one click in the builder and usually stays wrong.
- A house style of your own: this preset is the builder’s, not your organisation’s.
ATS profile
Clean
Structurally this is the plain case: one column, no tables, no text boxes, no images, and a section heading standing alone on its own line. Nothing on the published failure lists applies.
What no layout can do is make a parse correct. The ATS guide is blunt about this, and no vendor publishes an accuracy figure, so this page will not invent one.
Still yours to get right
A clean layout with a placeholder employer named “Company 1” is still a document a parser discards. No template can fix a sentence that describes effort instead of effect. Start with the resume basics guide and the one on quantifying impact.

Profile
A centred name in Palatino with a photograph. A4. Nine years across distribution and light manufacturing, most of it spent on the unglamorous half of the job: getting a forecast, a rota and a supplier to agree with each other.
