Send Important Updates

A concierge app does away with the need for newsletters, papers, and boring conversations at the reception. One can find all the information one needs in the hotel application. If customers still have any queries, they can get in touch with the hotel manager through a mobile app and get answers to them.

Offer Service Brochures 

An app can offer guests a list of all extra services a hotel concierge app can offer them. They can go through these services and order the ones they like right from their rooms.

Assist Customers With Their Requests

A mobile concierge app can act as an online helper and guide customers on the weather outside, to contact a hotel staff, unlock the door or order extra food or drinks right at your doorstep.

Access Customer Insights

To get any feedback about your hotel, hotel managers can ask customers to complete a simple form through a hotel concierge app. Also, people are much more likely to respond to the surveys that take just a few taps rather than filling forms on the reception. Moreover, digital surveys are easier to analyze and execute. This can be used for hotel service improvement also.

Main Features Of A Mobile Concierge App

Transaction Payments

In the times when the world is implementing contactless payment mechanisms on their systems, the hospitality industry can easily incorporate this feature into the mobile concierge system. Thus, when a guest wants to perform actions like pay for the additional services, complete the check-out procedure, or extend the stay, they no longer have to rush to the reception. Besides, the hotel can also ensure social distancing and take care of clients’ and working staff’s safety. This becomes a major feature through the pandemic.

Dynamic Updates

When you implement a hotel concierge app, the main page can be personalized with relevant consumer content such as places to explore around, restaurants and cuisines, etc. If a customer is interested in local events for the week, or any other event hosted by the hotel, the mobile concierge can recommend various events or occasions that might fit the guests' needs.

Automated Notifications/Room Management

Inside modern hotels, managers have already implemented the digital hotel concierge, which is used as a digital assistant, that helps improve the guests’ personal experience and makes their stay much more comfortable. These apps with some advanced features of the room service such as door opening, wake-up call, and receiving the latest updates on requests, will make a guest’s stay worthwhile and make them come back again. The app helps them stay connected 24/7 with the service staff of the hotel and receive all the requests in a single tap via the app.
