German term or phrase: Etage (mit Hausdamentätigkeit)
Im Rahmen ihrer Ausbildung wurde Frau Schmidt in den Abteilungen Etage (mit Hausdamentätigkeit), Buffet, Küche, Service, Empfgang, Marketing, im SPA und als Page eingesetzt.

This is from a work reference for somebody who trained as a Hotelfachfrau. This is a problem because I thought Etage and Hausdamentätigkeit were the same thing, namely housekeeping.
