Problem Description
Most digitalised solutions in the hotel industry primarily aim for improvements that benefit hotel management. Often, developers neglect the guests as end-users and underestimate their technological and digital skills. Besides, most software solutions use and process passive, secondary data, i.e. data generated after the end of the stay, such as the invoice, and therefore fail to respond and improve the guest experience and profitability. Resource management is usually done according to established patterns, often based on staff's subjective opinions. A few guests choose to comment directly on the service. Potential conflicts with staff can lead to unpleasant discussions, and that is something the majority of guests are trying to avoid. As the demographic structure of the guests is quite diverse, it is challenging to meet all the goals at all times without having a rational allocation of resources.
Solution Description
Today, when most guests operate mobile smartphones independently, the development of smart hotel systems should start right from the guest experience. The first idea of our solution took into account a comprehensive analysis of the guest's experience and their exact needs. Our solution is a synergistic combination of the interests of all stakeholders, guests, hotel staff, and hotel management. Through a friendly user interface, the guest can make online check-in, bookings and orders, confirmations and payments with Face ID technology, anonymously evaluate the quality of all hotel facilities and services, manage personal preferences, e.g. allergies, F&B, activities such as wellness, sports, excursions or connect and meet with similar guest profiles. This way, the guest can directly manage the quality of their stay in real-time. The software will generate predictive patterns of guest needs based on primary data. Hotel management can create dynamic offers according to preferences, increase sales of goods and services, monitor guest satisfaction in real-time, and optimise engaging resources, especially F&B and staff while enhancing the guest experience and revenue.
