Contact-free Hotel Experience – the industry “new normal”

How the new "Contact-free" hotel experience can still be both personal and engaging

Hoteliers are gearing up for the ‘new normal’ with new social distancing and safety measures but there is a concern that a contactless experience will signal an impersonal and distant one - exactly the opposite to being hospitable and guest-centric. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Hoteliers can still deliver an engaging and enjoyable guest experience, by adopting new practices that satisfy both the guest and the hotel’s bottom line. 

Guestline, a leading hospitality cloud technology provider, introduces a range of ‘contact-free’ solutions to help hoteliers reduce contact as much as possible and boost revenue when they re-open and start welcoming guests again: 

Digital guest registration & communication

It all starts with a guest making a booking online, where hotels can promote new enticing offers and deals, in addition to their flexible cancellation and amendment policies. From here, hotels can send out pre-stay communications to their guests using simple and automated templates to reassure and comfort their guests and relay useful information on new operational and safety measures in place – as well as providing potentially upsell incentives. Arrival times can be pre-arranged and guests can fill in their registration details online ahead of their arrival to create a safe and manageable flow through reception during check-in. Find out more about Guestline's digital registration solution here.

Food and beverage digital ordering

During their stay, Guestline’s new online food delivery channel interface will provide guests with the ability to order food and beverages digitally. Orders can be delivered to guest’s room or table. Alternatively, orders can be collected, or delivered to their home via one of the main online delivery platforms like Just Eat, Deliveroo and UberEATS. Again, another way of maintaining a safe distance and providing a potentially new and efficient revenue stream for hotels. 

Payments and check-out

Hotels can keep in contact with their guests during their stay via email, SMS, WhatsApp, LiveChat etc. so they have all the hotel information like floor plans, cleaning guidelines and new leisure/F&B processes at their disposal. And when it comes to checking out, guests could review and pay their final bill online, again to avoid any build up at reception. 

Hamzah Hafesji, Senior Product Manager at Guestline commented, ‘Going forward, the relationship between hotels and their guests will be different, but that doesn't mean the guest experience should be any less enjoyable. Our solutions will enable hoteliers to reopen as quickly and efficiently as possible, adopting the new practices that reflect current safety and social distancing measures.’ 

Reduced contact points

Hafesji continues ‘Our aim is to provide solutions that reduce the contact points that guests incur but heighten the engagement through digital means – which will help drive customer confidence as well as protecting vital revenue streams pre, during and post-stay. 

We’re consulting clients on an on-going basis and engaging with them to address the most pertinent challenges and ensure we’re delivering the most appropriate and business-critical solutions. Demonstrations and training videos for all customers will also be available to ensure they’re confident in the new processes from day one.’ 

For more information, check our dedicated contact-free hotel experience page, where you’ll find two "Going Contact-free" webinars to watch, both of which detail all the new consideration points and solutions to satisfy requirements.
