In the modern world, where hospitality life is the busiest, it is expected that hotel owners can quickly acquire huge amounts of information, grasp complicated ideas and concepts, and stay organized in their work all at once without breaking deadlines and losing their concentration levels.
The pen-and-paper system, albeit a time-tested technique, is effective for some people, but they are often left behind by the dynamics of contemporary management. This is where the interactive notetaking gear, such as the reMarkable and Kindle Scribe templates, come in.
The tools blend the physical pleasure of writing with cloud-based advantages of storage, accessibility, and incorporating multimedia features. So, why are these devices becoming essential to the hotel owners in North America and Western Europe?
Why Traditional Advertising Isn’t Enough?
A centralized, easy-to-access electronic document with information about a house is a digital house manual, which allows providing guests with essential information about the property, amenities, and the rules, in addition to local recommendations. Unlike the printed manuals that are lost, ripped, or become out of date, the digital manuals can be shared with a push of a button and updated in a few clicks.
Benefits include:
- More effective check-ins (particularly self-check-in arrangements)
- Reduction and less number of messages and queries by guests
- Better satisfaction of guests and fewer instances of misunderstandings
- A finishing that gives a positive impression of the hosting brand
Hosts can also create design-kind and functional manuals depending on their individual properties using tools like Canva, Notion, Google Docs, or PDF templates.
Digital Devices for Diligent Guest Handling Process
An excellent house manual should be instructive and self-explanatory. These are some of the suggested steps with the necessary sections:
- Welcome Note: Having a good personal message here makes the difference.
- Check-In/Check-Out Procedures: Indicate timing, keypad codes, setting up Wi-Fi, and storing luggage.
- House Rules: Be specific about rules to be adopted regarding smoking, pets, noise, and visitors.
- Appliance Guides: Snappy how tos of kitchen appliances and washer/dryer/heating/cooling systems.
- Emergency Tips: Location of nearest hospital, where to find a fire extinguisher, and emergency exits.
- Hot Recommendations near you: Your favorite restaurants, cafes, groceries, and attractions.
- Wi-Fi Information: The simple copy/paste identification of username and password.
- Contact Details: The way you like to be contacted is immediately.
Avoid using obscene language, but make language friendly and make use of icons or graphics where understanding is required to be faster.
Cognitive Benefits: How Digital Handwriting Enhances Learning
The optimum house manual on the internet is the one that is available 24/7 and from any place without any special download. The best formats would be as follows:
- Google Docs/Drive Link: mobile-friendly, easy to update, and easy to access.
- Notion Pages: Excellent with contemporary styled layouts that can be visualized and have speedy links.
- PDF Templates (Canva or InDesign): Professional, printable, and customizable. Keep a monthly budget for accessing the platform.
- QR Codes on Welcome Boards: The same welcome boards can have a code that guests can scan to get immediate access to your manual.
Make the document mobile-friendly because the majority of guests will consult it on their cellphones.
