How it's used
Focuses on the formal act of receiving or hosting visitors, often in a professional or business context. While it implies welcoming, it carries a stronger sense of providing service or managing the needs of the guest throughout their stay. It is less about the initial greeting and more about the ongoing responsibility of hosting.
Examples
The company sent someone to the airport to greet that client.
How many guests do you need to look after today?

Common mistake
