📄️ Core 1: Check-In
Check-in is the first significant interaction a guest has with your hotel, setting the tone for their entire stay. Automating the check-in process not only enhances the guest experience but also improves operational efficiency by reducing the need for front desk interactions, minimizing wait times, and freeing up staff to focus on personalized guest services. Additionally, it's a crucial first step towards removing the reception desk entirely, if that is your goal. This article delves into the various aspects of check-in automation, including the technologies involved, benefits, challenges, and best practices.
📄️ Core 2: Room Access
Room access automation is a critical step in modernizing hotel operations, particularly after a successful self-service check-in. This step is most meaningful when guests have checked in without visiting the front desk, as it allows them to proceed directly to their rooms with minimal interaction. By integrating smart lock systems with Property Management Systems (PMS) and other technologies, hotels can offer guests convenient, self-service access to their rooms without the need for traditional keycards or manual interventions.
📄️ Core 3: Check-Out
Check-out is a crucial part of the guest journey, as it marks the end of their stay and can greatly influence their final impression of the hotel. Automating the check-out process not only streamlines operations but also enhances guest satisfaction by making the departure process quick, easy, and convenient.

With the rise of online review platforms and social media, reputation management has become a core component of any hotel's business strategy.
