The lobby that never sleeps: a multilingual concierge kiosk for hotels

The same kiosk that works a trade-show stand works a hotel lobby. For a boutique group serving guests from everywhere, it is a front desk in every language, without hiring for every language.

A guest arrives at one in the morning after a delayed flight, speaking a language no one on the night shift covers. This is the moment a concierge kiosk was built for.

A front desk in six languages without hiring six people

The hotel kiosk greets each guest in their language. It answers common questions about checkout, breakfast, late arrival, and nearby places. It can do this at any hour. The guest asks a question and gets an answer.

Same agent, lobby and phone

The kiosk in the lobby and the concierge on WhatsApp are the same agent, with the same memory of the guest. A question asked at the screen and a follow-up sent by message are one continuous conversation, not two disconnected tickets.

It captures more than requests

The kiosk also spots group, wedding, and business booking questions. It sends those talks to the people who can close them. Common questions stay with the kiosk. Sales talks reach a person.

Where Fairshift fits

The hotel helper uses the same Fairshift system as export booths. It works in more than 90 languages and keeps one guest record. This helps a front desk serve more languages at more hours.
