It's easier to delight a hotel guest that starts their stay on the right foot. It all boils down to the guest journey. Start the guest journey off on the wrong foot, and everything can quickly go downhill from there. If the first interactions with a hotel are not enjoyable, achieving an overall positive review becomes much more difficult. Virdee helps hotels delight guests from the start, making check-in a snap, letting guests bypass the front desk, and giving them the ability to interact with the property on their terms, right at their fingertips.

Hotel technology can help properties make the most of dynamic pricing. Hospitality Technology recently talked about dynamic pricing with Karl DeHaven, VP of revenue at Charlestowne Hotels. Karl talks about avoiding rigid rate caps, knowing your competition, and pricing challenges that independent hotels face vs branded. He also provides advice on improving revenue by correctly employing dynamic pricing, strategically managing demand, and optimizing rates. Guest-facing technology can also help take advantage of dynamic pricing and demand management to maximize revenue. Virdee Virtual Reception includes room upsells during check-in and can pull dynamic pricing and inventory from the PMS. By doing so, it provides hotels the opportunity to sell rooms that would have otherwise remained empty, increasing revenue.

Las Vegas hotels and casinos are large... very large. This article by the Las Vegas Review-Journal lists the largest by square footage, slot machines, and table games. - The Wynn Las Vegas takes the #1 spot in square footage with over 191k (nearly 3.5 football fields)! - Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa has the largest number of slot machines with 2,645. - The Venetian Resort Las Vegas has the largest number of table games with 251. Any way you slice these types of properties, they are huge and attract large crowds. That's great for business but can cause a headache for guests and staff when long lines form at the front desk to check in, delaying guests' ability to start enjoying the casino. That's where the Virdee Virtual Reception can help in alleviating long lines by enabling self-check-in via mobile app, web, and kiosk.

On Tuesday, we mentioned how hotels are starting to once again promote the benefits of self-check-in and how it has matured since its introduction. Well, the proof is in the pudding. Here is a post from Aaron Wilkerson who recently stayed at a Great Wolf Lodge, which uses Virdee technology for contactless mobile and kiosk check-in. He was able to skip the line (an even more valuable feature when you have children) and check in quickly and easily at a kiosk. Hotels are listening to their guests and providing technological solutions to elevate the guest experience. Virdee's tech partners on this project are Oracle Hospitality for PMS, SALTO Systems for locks, and Shift4 for payment. . . . #virtualreception #mobilecheckin #hospitality #hoteltechnology

Few topics polarize guests more than self-check-in. Many guests remember the hotel industry's first ventures into this then-new technology around ten years ago. At the time, the experience was inconsistent. Apps were clunky. Kiosks looked like ATMs. Those times are gone. Apps have matured, and kiosks have evolved into sleek devices that look at home in the fanciest of lobbies. Shown here are ads by citizenM hotels and Marriott Hotels, both focusing on the benefits of self-check-in. This is clearly now becoming a renewed focus for the industry, and it will be exciting to see where it goes in the next few years. . . . #hospitality #hospitalitytechnology #hoteltech #selfcheckin
