The front desk that needs no shift.

The kiosk normally takes its bookings from Guestidea. In principle an existing system can be connected as well — whether that works in your case, and what it costs, depends on the interface your provider offers. Tell us what you run today and we will check it properly instead of guessing.

There is no lower limit. The maths is not about room count but about the hours somebody currently has to stay available for arrivals. A six-room property whose owner is tied down every evening and every weekend gains as much as a forty-room hotel. Conversely, a kiosk barely pays off with sixty rooms if the desk is staffed around the clock anyway.

No. The kiosk dispenses your existing keys and fobs and takes them back at checkout — nothing changes at the doors. If you have electronic locks, or want to move to them, the kiosk hands out the access instead: a room code or a key on the phone. The door is then unlocked by the lock itself once the guest stands in front of it. Converting the locks is an option, not a requirement.

The setup happens at our end before the machine reaches you: rooms, rates and the locking system are configured when we arrive. On site it is about placement, network and training your team. How fast it goes usually depends less on us than on how quickly power and internet are in place where the kiosk will stand.

They exist, and the kiosk does not replace them. It takes over the arrivals where somebody merely has to be available — evenings, nights, weekends. If you want a staffed desk during the day, keep it. The kiosk runs alongside and is simply there when nobody else is.

Yes. Guesthouses, holiday flats, apartment buildings, hostels and car parks all run on the same technology with us. What differs is the locking side — mechanical keys, fobs or electronic locks — not the kiosk itself.
