  • For example, the implementation of in-room touchscreen tablets is increasingly being used as a method of making guest rooms better examples of green hospitality.
  • The hospitality industry spent over $400 million on printing property directories and marketing collateral for guests in 2015.
  • Changes to menus, pricing, event schedules, and policies can all be made immediately by staff and accessed by guests through a digital compendium. This saves the need to reprint the same items over and over for simple changes.

    Intelity, a leading provider of in room tablet technology, outlines the cost savings involved by implementing these tablets into a room operation. Everything from menu's to bibles to hotel directories to maps can be stored on these devices. This can lead to drastically less paper waste for the hotel. These tablets can also interface with the room, allowing the guest to program their AC to shut off while they are away or to shut off based on guest inactivity. The technology is becoming so pervasive in the industry that it is now a consideration in the AAA diamond ranking systems. Nicholas Reynolds

  • Without a property management system (PMS), your capacity to grow your small hotel will be seriously stifled. After all, managing your bookings with Excel spread sheets or reservation books may allow you to scrape by, but it definitely doesn’t allow you to scale.
  • Small accommodation providers have to be extremely careful with how they spend their budget, so it is important to assess the costs involved.
  • Your all-in-one PMS system should give you one place to find all the information you need, and it should take you much less time to complete the same tasks.

  • Your all-in-one PMS system should be accessible wherever you are, through any device. This means it should be cloud-based. That way, you can go about your day and still keep an eye on your reservations. All you need to do is bring your smartphone or tablet with you.
  • Your PMS system must make it easy for you to communicate with your guests in a structured way. This means that you can send pre and post arrival emails, and customises each email template to match your brand’s look and feel.

    A PMS system should greatly increase the efficiency of a small hotel that is using manual booking techniques. The cost of a hotel PMS system usually varies according to the amount of features it has and is paid either through licensing fee, monthly subscription , or commission on sales. Some of the most important characteristics of a good PMS are portability and flexibility (making cloud based systems extremely popular). The functions a PMS should achieve include: increasing revenue per guest, managing sales channels, improving efficiency, guest communication, manage international bookings, automated inventory management, and much more. When selecting a PMS software provider, it is also extremely important to consider the level of technical support that is offered. Nicholas Reynolds

  • There are 2 primary situations when having a wifi antenna helps greatly. The first is when I’m staying at a hotel, guesthouse, or hostel and the wifi signal doesn’t reach my room.

    For travelers on the go, one frequently encountered frustration is the poor quality of WiFi signal in international destinations. This is especially true for business travelers.This frustration can be remedied however. by providing travelers with WiFi range extenders such as the TP-Link N300 Wifi Antenna. They can plug right into a laptops Ethernet port to extend its WiFi range by 200 yards or more! This represents an easy fix to a common problem for travelers and one that hotels should be looking into providing to guests. (It should be noted however, that more powerful AC technology is now available, replacing older N version network tech.) Providing this to guests would greatly enhance their quality of stay.

    There are a variety of software "apps" that are being added to the tool-belt of smaller hotels that cannot afford or utilize major player software company such as Fidelio Opera or Maestro. These include applications for book-keeping, accounting, note taking, guest interaction, employee performance reviews, and many others! These smaller developed apps may one day surpass the integrated major software programs I mentioned before. The days of the centralized PMS system are numbered and the day of decentralized interfacing applications is soon to come. Looking over the apps listed in this article, it is not unrealistic to believe that this time is swiftly approaching.
