Self-Service Check-in at Hotels and Motels

IntroductionSelf service will help to solve most problems

in hotels.The software would be programmed to

operate properlyIt would help reduce frustration in customers

that are kept waiting. It would also lessen the work load on the

employees, giving them time to greet and welcome the guest properly.

Technological GapsThere are currently no technological gaps Because few of the machines have been tried

in various hotels.The machine has not yet been well

distributed across the UK.The machine doesn't yet have a passport

scanner or an identification recognition software.

The identification of the customers will have to be done by a member of staff.

Services That Could be Deliveredit would have a face everyone’s mother can

loveVisual presentation of the room.Ability to print out key cards after the room

has been paid for.It would offer the guest control, choice and

convenience.Discounts for customers, such as student

discounts would be available.

Peoples Reactions Most guest found it fascinating, and enjoyed

using it.Older guest found it hard to operate and

preferred using the usual check inn systemThe staffs in the hotel grew to love itFear of unemployment
