How technology improves hotel reception etiquette

  • Maciej Czajka
  • 14 November 2024
👨 Providing an exceptional hotel reception experience is vital for guest satisfaction and can lead to repeat visits and positive reviews. Attention to detail, from cleanliness and decor to a warm smile and a personalized welcome, shapes the guest's first impression. Online reviews of the reception experience influence future bookings, emphasizing the importance of a quality welcome. Hotel technology, such as online check-in and instant messaging apps, enhances the guest experience by streamlining processes and personalizing interactions. Training staff in technology use, like property management systems and communication tools, is essential.

WhatsApp Canned Responses

  • Maciej Czajka
  • 22 August 2024
📢 WhatsApp reply templates are used for guest communication via the messaging app, requiring Meta's approval for each initial message after a 24-hour response window.

Creation and sending of canned responses are accessible through "the Console". Templates are configured per hotel's WhatsApp numbers.
