What are the functions of Tabletop Kiosks?

Hotel tabletop kiosks serve multiple functions designed to enhance guest experiences and streamline hotel operations. Here are the primary functions of tabletop kiosks:

Streamlined Check-In and Check-Out

One of the primary functions of tabletop kiosks is to streamline the check-in and check-out process. According to Hotel Tech Report, guests can check-in, get their room key, and scan necessary documents in less than a minute​ (Hotel Tech Report)​. This efficiency significantly reduces wait times, with some hotels reporting a 40% reduction in check-in times​(Hospitality Consultant Malaysia)​.

Information Access

Tabletop kiosks provide guests with easy access to information and services. From hotel amenities and local attractions to room service menus and transportation options, guests can find everything they need at their fingertips ​(Samsung Business Insights)​. By ensuring the availability of necessary information,  this convenience enhances the overall guest experience. A survey by Angus Reid found that 77% of guests appreciate having immediate access to local information via kiosks​ (Hotelier Magazine)​.

Room Service and Amenities

With tabletop kiosks, guests can browse menus, order food, and request services directly from the main lobby.  This feature adds an extra layer of convenience, as guests can customize their orders and have them delivered. The ability to access room service and amenities through the kiosk improves guest satisfaction by offering a seamless and efficient service​ (Hospitality Consultant Malaysia)​. In some cases, hotels have seen a 25% increase in room service orders due to the ease of use provided by kiosks​ (Hotelier Magazine)​.

Feedback and Surveys

Collecting guest feedback is essential for continuous improvement in the hospitality industry.

What are the benefits for the Hotel Industry? 

Implementing tabletop kiosks in hotels offers various benefits that enhance operational efficiency and guest satisfaction. Here are the key advantages:

Increased Efficiency

By automating routine tasks such as check-in, check-out, and room service orders, tabletop kiosks free up hotel staff to focus on providing more personalized services​ (Hospitality Consultant Malaysia)​.

Cost Savings

Implementing tabletop kiosks can lead to significant labor cost savings for hotels.

For instance, hotels have reported saving up to 20% on labor costs after introducing self-service kiosks​ (Hospitality Consultant Malaysia)​.

Data Collection

Tabletop kiosks can collect valuable data on guest preferences and behaviors. This information can be used to tailor hotel services and marketing strategies more effectively.

This targeted marketing approach can increase revenue from hotel services and facilities. Some hotels have reported a 10% increase in upsell revenue due to the strategic use of kiosk advertising​ (Samsung Business Insights)​.

Conclusion

Integrating tabletop kiosks into hotel operations presents numerous benefits, from improving operational efficiency and guest satisfaction to enabling cost savings and targeted marketing.
