Technology has proved to assist hotels to manage their daily operations more efficiently. From online booking to smart hotel rooms, every facility that can simplify the work of hotel operators is welcome.
Hotel guests are rapidly changing their behaviours and needs, requiring more personalised and engaging services. And more than ever, hotels need to offer them innovative systems to fulfill their expectations and improve their overall experience.
When asked what makes a good hotel stay, 90% of millennials said they would be interested in checking-in in a hotel through their mobile phones and skip slow service and long check-in queues in hotel lobbies.
Since the Covid-19 outbreak, guests are demanding the highest levels of hygiene, social distancing, and sanitisation. Study shows that 84% of guests prioritised social distancing practices in a hotel to feel safe, and 71% of guests are more likely to stay in a hotel offering self-service tech.
Regardless of your hotel's target customer (millennial, business people, backpackers, or seniors), everybody is in a hurry and needs convenient ways to help hasten their tasks. People will love your hotel brand if you give them the option to check-in at their most suitable time on whichever device they have in hand: their laptop, tablet, or mobile.
Guests can book a hotel stay from different distribution channels. Many of which does so on OTAs or with travel agents. Because the online check-in system asks guests to check-in online, regardless of the source of booking, they will interact with your brand website. You then have the chance to showcase your brand identity, hotel facilities, and room upgrades, as well as encouraging them to book direct next time.
Every hotel has the traditional check-in and check-out busy hours which lead to large queues at the reception desk. What about smoothing out the workload for your reception staff and making your processes more efficient?
An online check-in integrated into your Property Management System, such as Opera, gives you a way to gain time at the front desk and improve efficiency for your staff. With Opera integration, all required guest data for check-in, such as digital signatures and passport IDs, can be captured before arriving at the hotel.
When does the guest experience start? Is it when guests enter the hotel room? Is it at the moment they arrive at your hotel? Is it when they book on your brand website? Or is it even earlier, when they are planning their trip and searching for hotels?
Regardless of your star rating, the guest experience should start before guests arrive at your hotel. They should know prior to arrival that they are going to receive the level of service that your hotel brand offers.
The online check-in allows you to send pre-arrival emails to start engaging with guests prior to their arrival. This pre-arrival engagement will help you gather your guests' information so you can make them feel special on arrival. By showing your guests that you care about them before they even arrive, you set the tone for the rest of their stay.
Your hotel offers unique services to enhance your guests' stay: room upgrades, SPA treatments, breakfast, fine dining, late check-out, and chauffeur services. Research shows that guests are more inclined to book add-ons closer to their arrival date. The average booking window is 30 days prior to the arrival date, and most guests are not aware of their travel plans that far in advance.
By showcasing your add-ons during the online check-in process, your guests can purchase a range of options to upgrade their stay. At the same time, it helps to increase online revenue for your hotel.

Hotel owners, operators or managers must collect state hotel occupancy tax from their guests who rent a room or space in a hotel costing $15 or more each day. The tax applies not only to hotels and motels, but also to bed and breakfasts, condominiums, apartments and houses. Local hotel taxes apply to sleeping rooms costing $2 or more each day.
With the numerous sporting and entertainment events around the state, many homeowners rent their homes or rooms in their house to people attending these events. Persons leasing their houses must collect hotel occupancy tax from their customers in the same way a hotel or motel collects the tax from its guests. Property management companies, online travel companies and other third-party rental companies may also be responsible for collecting the tax.
Retailers, including hotel and motel operators, can search our records and obtain online verification of an organization's exemption from Texas franchise tax, sales and use tax, and hotel occupancy tax.
