A website chat that answersyour guests, day and night.
Sam is the website chat on your own hotel site. He answers your guests from what your website already says and what you teach him. What he should not answer, he passes to you, and your answer goes back to the guest.
24/7
on your website, also when the desk is closed
Guests plan their trip when it suits them, not when your desk is open.
The questions are usually the same: can we park, can we arrive late, can the dog come, until when is breakfast. Sam answers them from your own website, at any hour, and leaves the rest to you.
One evening
This is how an evening with Sam goes.
Your desk has gone quiet for the night. On your website, somebody is still deciding.
- 21:05
A guest asks if they can park at the hotel. Sam answers from your website, and puts your Book button under the answer.
- 21:09
The same guest asks about a charging point for their car. That is nowhere on your site, so Sam says he will ask you.
- 21:17
You get the question on WhatsApp and answer in one line.
- 21:18
Your answer goes to the guest by email, and Sam remembers it for the next one who asks.
The next guest with that question gets the answer straight away.
What he knows
He learns from your own website.
Sam fills his knowledge from what your website already says, so he knows your check-in time and your address without you typing anything. Every answer you give him on WhatsApp, he keeps.
- Parking
- Late arrival
- Pets
- Breakfast times
- Luggage
- Getting here
A question answered at eleven at night is a guest who did not go and look elsewhere.
Where he stops
Some questions are always yours.
Sam does not guess. Some things he never answers himself, and that is built into him, not just asked of him.
He passes to you
A price for a group, a complaint, anything that would commit you to something, and allergies that you have not answered in your own words.
He never does
Promise a room, a rate or a discount. Book, change or cancel a stay. Those stay with you and your booking engine.
The handover
What he cannot answer comes to you.
The question arrives on your WhatsApp with what the guest asked. You answer in your own words; the guest gets your answer by email, and Sam keeps it.
Your guests' privacy
Quiet about your guests.
Sam sets no cookies, so he does not need a cookie banner. Questions he passed to you are deleted after a fixed period, and the guest agrees before leaving an email address.
What Sam will not do
Bookings
Sam cannot book, change or cancel a stay, and he does not check availability. He sends guests to your booking page.
Promises
No rates, discounts or commitments in your name. When a question asks for one, it comes to you.
Guesses about allergies
On allergies he only repeats what you told him, word for word. Otherwise he passes the question to you.
A chat that knows where it stops is worth more than one that always has an answer.
