F&B & Rooms = one unit?
A hotel, that is restaurant and room under one roof. For the guest: One place. A stay. One experience. However, the F&B and Rooms areas are managed separately and with different tools. The duplicate entry and management of data is correspondingly time-consuming. But no longer with the integration between the aleno restaurant reservation system and the hotel PMS.
Manage less, pamper more
In the hotel, different data such as name, e-mail, telephone number, days of stay, room number and category, package are recorded in the PMS and reservation system. With the integration of F&B and Rooms, this data is automatically merged, exchanged and displayed in both tools. This means that information does not have to be requested again by staff, nor does it have to be repeatedly disclosed by guests.
The automatic collaboration of the two tools replaces lists and meetings to reconcile Rooms and F&B. This relieves staff and guests, while leaving more time and information for personal service and enjoyment.
- Guest data for personal service at reception and restaurant, e.g. welcome drink, farewell at the end of the stay.
- Reconciliation from check-in to check-out between F&B and Rooms against forgotten or double payments, missing tables and the like.
Advantages in the restaurant
Even before the guests, the data comes into the restaurant. The staff is informed in advance about future occupancy, reservations and the guests, e.g. which package they have booked, how long they will stay at the hotel, what special requests they have.
The comprehensive data enables better planning and more personalized service right from the start. And this is independent of which employee is serving the guest. The data can also be used to simplify processes.
With the repeat function, the same table can be reserved for the entire duration of the guest's stay, so that the guest no longer needs to be asked on any other days. If desired, the reservation for individual days can simply be moved to another table, another time or another restaurant.
- Automatic synchronization of data from PMS and restaurant CRM, as well as POS if necessary.
- Repetition of reservations for the entire stay.
- Shifting of reservations to other tables, times, hotel restaurants.
- Reservation management including automated reminder email, no-show avoidance, prepayment, etc.
Up-selling: What makes the guest happy
In aleno, guest information from F&B, rooms and POS is stored, e.g. preferences, previous visits, sales. The staff can use this information to up-sell the guest and offer them exactly what they wants, with even better quality. This increases sales and guest satisfaction.
- Automatic or manual recording and management of preferences, special requests and guest histories.
- Comprehensive guest profile for needs-based up-selling, e.g. food and beverage preferences, special requests
Marketing: New guests become loyal guests
Data on the entire guest journey of restaurant and hotel guests is collected and aggregated in aleno. With the personalized data, guests can be addressed specifically and exclusively according to their interests. Instead of spam, this means customized offers, the best memories and returning guests.
- Targeted Digital Marketing on social media, Google and more channels.
- Newsletter to selected guest groups.
- Automated Review Management.
- Retention-Marketing: Attract hotel guests for dinner and restaurant guests for overnight stays.
