Communication channels
Voice calls
Guests call the front desk from the browser, and staff can call a room back. Calls use encrypted WebRTC. More on hotel intercom.
Live chat
Real-time messaging between guest and front desk. Guest chat availability depends on the plan.
Chat translation
Detects the guest's language and translates staff replies back into it, so each side writes in its own language.
AI guest assistant
Answers questions such as "What time is breakfast?" from the hotel's own knowledge base, which the branch admin maintains.
Service requests
Each request becomes a ticket for the right department. More on request management.
SOS alerts
Alert the front desk and branch admin immediately with the room number. The alert stays visible until staff acknowledge it.
How the AI guest assistant handles a request
- The guest asks in plain language, for example "Can I get two more towels?"
- The assistant asks a clarifying question if it needs one.
- It drafts a ticket with the right department and priority.
- The ticket is created only after the guest confirms.
- Emergency wording is always raised to critical priority.
Information guests can read
- Hotel information: Wi-Fi details, timings and facilities.
- Activities and events at the property.
- Food menu: a menu PDF, or in-room ordering on plans that include it.
- Feedback: guests can rate their stay and leave comments.
Staff get a calendar of arrivals, departures, in-house guests, events and holidays.
