How do i work as a hotel lobby pianist?

What are the general requirements and how do i approach hotels or shopping centres? What kind of repertoire should i prepare? My own or should i ask?How do i work as a hotel lobby pianist?
Hotel restaurants usually have some sort of entertainer on occasions like Mother's Day and Christmas or New Year's Day buffets and banquets. You'll need a business card, look presentable, and have a large repertoire of popular tunes, classical tunes, your own compositions, be able to read of lead sheets or fake books, and flexible in various genres of music. You'll get requests! Oh, don't forget your glass jar for tips! Hotels book early and so make your lists and call them all up! Best of luck!
