It’s widely agreed that with the hectic pace of modern life, and particularly in the wake of covid-19, hotels that embrace the advantages of check-in/out kiosks will gain an edge over their competitors.
For some, self-service kiosks feel counter-intuitive. The hospitality sector aims to deliver a personalized service, and many hoteliers regard self-service kiosks as counterproductive in that regard. However, an increasing number of holiday-makers appreciate the flexibility and freedom a self service kiosk gives them whilst staying in a hotel, and it can actually allow your front-line staff to provide a better guest experience.
There’s a myth that self service is too impersonal a process for hotels to adopt. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, it gives staff the freedom to have more meaningful and personal conversations with guests.
Automated check-in kiosks take much of the workload off staff, so they can concentrate on more important things. This could include offering recommendations to guests who want to go sightseeing or just chatting to guests to make them feel welcome. These things enable hotels to make a positive impression on customers and increase the chance of repeat bookings.
