While all hotels have similarities when it comes to checking in and guests' desires to not spend a lot of time waiting in line, each type of hotel has its unique challenges and features that need to be considered when deploying a contactless, straight-to-room solution. Yesterday, we talked about how a waterpark resort deployed Virdee's solution. Today, we're highlighting the case study of a large Las Vegas Casino Resort. Virdee is helping the resort revamp its front desk area, leveraging four kiosks to alleviate long check-in lines. Check out the case study! Solution highlights - 45% check-in conversion - 6 FTEs saved - Mobile web check-in (no app download) Read the case study: https://hubs.ly/Q02Z36Cd0

Self-service, straight-to-room hotel check-in is the future of the industry. There are many different types of hotels and resorts that can benefit from this technology, from casino resorts to extended-stay chains and waterpark resorts. Today, we want to highlight a case study about a Virdee client: a large waterpark resort. The property faced a unique challenge as it uses wristbands in place of standard room key cards. We don't want to spoil it for you, so check out the case study! Highlights - 18 FTEs saved - 48% check-in conversion - Custom wristband key dispenser Read the case study: https://hubs.ly/Q02YXlSZ0

What is the future of hotel check-in? How do kiosks and mobile phones fit into that future? Virdee believes the future of hotel check-in is 100% mobile. While we already offer fully mobile options to our clients, many still deploy kiosks in their lobbies. The fastest way to a hotel room In a 100% mobile world, guests check-in (verify identity, pay, and sign T&Cs) via mobile web and then receive their mobile key directly in their Apple or Google Wallet. No app to download. No kiosk to stop at. Why do we need kiosks now? We're living in a transitional period where kiosks are required in most situations to ensure a great guest experience for all guests. Let's face it, mobile key technology hasn't been the most reliable over the years. Many guests remember poor mobile key experiences years ago, when the technology was not yet mature enough for prime time. Those guests still want a physical key card right now. Why remove the kiosk? Even the best-designed hardware gets old and needs to be replaced or repaired. That results in additional cost that a 100% mobile solution avoids. Additionally, everything we do is moving increasingly towards mobile. Ordering food, ordering an Uber, checking in for flights. That means that guests will increasingly embrace mobile key technology. Whatever the path and no matter how long it takes, Virdee is here to support hotels in their transformation. Want to discuss the future of your lobby? Contact us: https://hubs.ly/Q02WVFZG0

The extended stay hotel sector is booming, and demand continues to outpace supply. Choice Hotels International just opened its 500th extended stay property and had around 400 extended stay properties in its pipeline in Q2. With four different brands covering economy and midscale segments in addition to varying designs and amenities across those brands, Choice is covering a broad swath of the market. Extended stay hotels are a great opportunity for automation. With longer stays and fewer check-ins vs standard hotels, the opportunity for going "deskless" (100% self-service check-in) and saving staffing resources is clear. Properties can choose to go fully deskless or limit it to certain times of the day when guest traffic is at its lowest. Benefits of automation: - Faster, contactless check-in - Reduce staffing cost - Flexible deskless shifts At Virdee, we see the future of check-ins as contactless, giving hotels of all types the ability to change the look and feel of the lobby, repurpose staff to more high-tough tasks, and delighting guests along the way.

Do luxury and automation mix? Consider this question: Is it luxurious to stand in line to wait to check in? LLM - Luxury Lifestyle Magazine highlights the luxurious features that five-star hotels are focusing on today. One key focus is friendly staff that makes an impression on guests, remembering their preferences and recognizing them, which results in increased loyalty. Technology like the Virdee Virtual Reception can help hotel staff focus on those personal interactions by removing mundane check-in tasks and freeing up staff time for truly meaningful interactions.
