Emerging Technology Applied to the Modern Day: A Hospitality World with a Hotel App2 min read
Technology is literally at the forefront of humanity. It’s as colloquial as life itself, for all extents and purposes. Seemingly, on a monthly basis we hear about newer, emerging technologies that can serve to greatly ease our daily lives by adding modern day amenities to the mix that make everything that much more convenient. Under this notion, the next time that you find yourself traveling abroad and staying at a hotel for lodging, you may very well be handed a flashy iPad tablet upon your arrival and check-in to use as your hospitality control panel, complete with an iPad menu that’s loaded with a caveat of features, and that’s able to streamline your experience via imbedded hotel app by directly communicating with hotel staff to facilitate a more enjoyable stay.
Top Features of a Hotel App:
Want to order room service on a Friday night but are unsure of what you are hungry for? Simply access your iPad menu on the tablet and start browsing the entire room service menu, complete with high resolution pictures and enticing menu descriptions. Be sure to specify how you want your meal prepared in your notes to chef.
Have a question about the surrounding area, events that may be of interest to you, or maybe you are wondering what restaurants offer fine dining, where you can enjoy five star shopping, or how to get to that golf course down the street and reserve a tee-off time? Simply press the “Concierge” button and be directly connected with a roving concierge who will be ready to assist you.
Need your car to be readied so you can head out? Just contact the valet parking station via your iPad tablet and hotel app, and they will get your vehicle ready for you so you can leave right away.
Want the housekeeper to leave your room alone – then simply set a “Do not disturb” alert on your iPad. Similarly, if you do want room service, you can easily note that on your tablet as well to ensure that your room is tended to that day.
Looking to surf the web and check your email, connect with family and friends via your favorite social media outlets, or just search the web for things of interest online? The iPad menus on your hotel tablet are equipped with Wi-Fi internet connections and a full web browser, as well as family friendly video games for children.
Lastly, whenever you are ready to check out you can easily do so by using the included iPad POS that’s in your tablet. This allows you to checkout and pay for your room using a credit or debit card securely. Now your check-outs are as easy as 1, 2, 3 – with no more lines or waiting times.
