Guest Desk

Every guest request, handled before it becomes a review

Guests scan the QR in their room to ask for anything. The right department gets it, a timer starts, and nothing is forgotten at shift change.

For front office and guest services teams.

One queue, however the request arrives

  • Room QRA sticker in every room. Guests ask from their own phone with nothing to install.
  • In-room tabletA shared-device mode for tablets fixed in the room, so one guest never sees another's requests.
  • Phone and walk-inThe front desk logs calls and walk-up requests into the same queue.
  • WhatsApp and emailRequests that come in by message get logged and tracked like any other.
  • The Foxotel appRequests raised from the app land in the same queue, with the same clock.

What happens to a request

From a scan in Room 412 to a rating, without a phone call or a notebook.

  1. 1

    The guest asks

    They scan the room QR, pick a request, set a quantity and add a photo if it helps.

  2. 2

    The right team gets it

    It goes to the department for that request, with a due time from its SLA. It can be auto-assigned to the department head.

  3. 3

    The guest can see it

    Received, assigned, on the way, done. They see who has it and when to expect it, and can add a note or cancel.

  4. 4

    Late requests escalate

    At the SLA, the department head is alerted. Past that, the GM or duty manager gets a WhatsApp.

  5. 5

    The guest rates it

    Once it's done they rate it. A low rating can reopen the ticket automatically.

Nothing waits quietly

Every request type has its own time limit. Urgent ones are capped, however long the type allows. When a ticket runs late, the right people hear about it, in order.

  • SLA per request type, in minutes or hours
  • Urgent tickets due within 30 minutes, whatever the type
  • Level 1: the department head, when the SLA is reached
  • Level 2: the GM or duty manager, at 150% of the SLA
  • Both points can be changed, and limited to certain priorities
  • Optionally alert your SOS escalation contacts too
  • WhatsApp to the department on every new ticket, if you want it

  • Departments with their own working hours, or 24×7
  • A fallback department for anything that doesn't fit
  • Transfers between departments, with the reason recorded
  • Comments and photos on every ticket
  • Staff can be limited to their own departments
  • Resolved tickets close themselves after the hours you set
