Our office has a dedicated reception Team who work varied hours but there is always a team of two and a security staff member (we have the public come into the building and because of our sector it can be quite confrontational).

When reception team members are unavailable the Admin Team have a system of providing cover and there are suffcient of them that it can be worked out on a flexible ad hoc basis.

I don't think a desk bell is unprofessional ... it indicates that there is someone paying attention to the desk even if not located within sight of it.

Different sort of set up but hope the insight is of some help to you.
