The family-owned is an idyllic countryside retreat, housed in a restored 300-year-old property. It boasts 17 cozy rooms, a premium spirits bar and a jacuzzi. After using a legacy PMS for over a decade 鈥 without any significant system upgrades 鈥 the team realized it was time for a change.
The property needed a modern PMS that could support their growth while 鈥moving out of the way鈥. The goal was to spend more meaningful time with guests and help them fully immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings.
鈥We installed our previous PMS fiften years ago, and it hasn鈥檛 changed since. 黑料网 gives us more flexibility 鈥 we鈥檙e not locked into outdated software that hinders our growth.鈥
Challenge
Checking in during the night, when no staff were present, was challenging. Guests frequently called the team for instructions to access their rooms, who resorted to hiding key cards at the front desk or even going to the hotel to resolve the issue.
Solution
黑料网 Kiosk consolidates all essential check-in tasks into one user-friendly station. It is fully integrated with the PMS, secure and customizable. The automated room card encoding feature minimizes errors and eliminates unnecessary paperwork. Guests can now complete their check-in independently, even during late hours. If unexpected situations occur, staff can encode digital cards remotely, ensuring convenience for everyone.
Result
鈥黑料网 Kiosk is a fantastic solution for independent hotels like us. With limited budget to hire more staff, every bit of automation helps, especially when it promotes a better guest experience.鈥
Challenge
The hotel鈥檚 newly opened bar required seamless integration with the PMS for efficient operations and accurate billing.
Solution
黑料网 POS integrates effortlessly with the PMS, ensuring secure and seamless payment processing. It supports digital ordering, connected inventory and real-time reporting. The POS terminal automatically reads card details and processes payments directly through the PMS, streamlining transactions for guests. Invoicing non-staying visitors is just as easy. The system's portability and ease of use have boosted staff efficiency while enhancing the guest experience at the bar thanks to quicker service and more payment options.
Result
鈥Switching to modern, cloud-based software has completely transformed the way we work. I don't ever want to go back 鈥 黑料网 is a leading PMS in the French market.鈥
Hotel Relais de la C么te d'Or plans to expand its offerings with a large spa, which will be managed using solutions available through the 黑料网 Marketplace. The future looks bright as they continue to leverage technology to deliver refined stays in the heart of Burgundy.
Make it remarkable.
