#1. Improves Guest confidence

The high infectivity of Covid-19 has shattered the confidence of travelers, and they are highly sensitive about hygiene and personal safety, particularly, when traveling or staying away from their homes.

The process that involved physical collection of identity and address proof documents by the hotel staff is becoming a thing of the past. Guests can seamlessly record their documents, fill details, make payment transactions through a human-less reception kiosk, and get keys to access their rooms. A positive review about their touchless experience can help you get more bookings.

#2. Helps Meeting Covid-19 Guidelines

The investment in hotel self-check-in software technology helps you meet their guidelines. It reveals not just your seriousness in stopping the spread of infection but also care for your staff who work hard to ensure you reach your business objectives.

 

#3. Reduces Operational Cost

Replacement of the conventional reception counter with the digital contactless reception kiosk installed with a hotel self-check-in application as shown above is a great way to reduce the operational cost as businesses do not need to recruit professionals to handle check-in tasks.

If they already have, they can make them focus on other important tasks or can invest that capital in improving the guest experience further. In the post Covid-19 era, cutting down operational cost is one of the key priorities of the hospitality businesses to contain the financial damage incurred by the pandemic.

#4. Saves Time

The documents and details provided by the guests are authenticated automatically with the back-end database.

Your guests engage with front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, engineering and maintenance, accounts and credits, and security departments. A seamless integration of all these departments will help you collect a significant amount of actionable data. Understand the demands and expectations of guests. Use BI to improve your processes and make it more relevant to the guests.
