In today’s world, many processes have been streamlined for convenience, making our lives easier and more efficient. Take paying for a taxi, for example—thanks to automation from companies like Uber, it’s as simple as getting out of the car and going about your day. So why, in the hospitality industry, are we still asking guests to go to the reception desk to check out?
The answer is partly due to the need for guests to contest the final bill if necessary. In those rare cases, it makes sense to handle the issue in person. But let’s be honest—in the vast majority of cases, the final invoice is accurate and could easily be paid with a click, with the receipt sent via email.
Yet, many hotels still require every guest to visit the reception desk, often leading to long lines during peak times like early morning check-outs. This not only compromises the guest experience but can also cause unnecessary stress, especially if guests are rushing to catch a flight or attend a meeting.
This is where workflow automation comes into play. Imagine a check-out process as smooth as hailing a ride with Uber—no lines, no waiting, just a simple click on your phone. With Maic's operating system, this is already a reality for many hotels across Europe. Our solution includes a pre-stay check-in and a one-click check-out through a web-based app that doesn’t require any downloads. Instead, guests receive a simple link in their email, allowing them to manage their stay effortlessly.
Not only does this enhance the guest experience, but it also frees up your staff to focus on more critical tasks, improving overall operational efficiency.
Why not simplify the check-out process for your guests and reduce the workload for your team? Speak with us today to learn how Maic can help revolutionize your hotel operations and elevate your guest experience.
