Advantages of a self-service hotel

Will you be the next on the list of self-service hotels?

At a self-service hotel, guests can carry out most actions themselves – it is enormously time-saving and especially provides guests with an easy and flexible check-in and check-out.

By using technological innovations and automated total systems, it is possible for your guests to handle everything from booking and payment to room access and ordering additional services. In addition to a total system like OCTOPUS for gathering all the information, tasks, and bookings, the most important feature at a self-service hotel is the electronic locks. These locks allow guests to access their rooms using a PIN code that is sent to them via SMS or email. This way, guests can arrive at and leave the hotel without having to wait in line at the reception to receive information or exchange keys.

Another important feature is the electronic Personal Guestbook, where guests can read directly about the hotel, the area, experiences, parking, offers, and more. Guests can also use the guestbook to change personal details such as email, name, and billing address – everything is, of course, updated directly in the OCTOPUS system. Guests can also use the Personal Guestbook to order and pay for extra services (for example, breakfast, lunch box, transportation, or room service). At a self-service hotel, guests enjoy a more flexible experience, allowing them to manage their own needs and expectations in an easy and practical way.

Remember: We are not trying to make the reception staff unemployed, but rather to give them more time to serve and be there for the guests, so that they receive the best experience.

Vi bruger systemet
på vores egne hoteller

Vi oplever på vores egne hoteller, at gæster er utrolig glade for ikke være afhængig af en receptionist – som der ofte er kø hos, især ved udtjekning om morgenen, hvor man blot vil videre i sit program.

Som en ekstra service til gæsterne kan OCTOPUS også generere en QR-kode – som fx kan hænge ved indgangen – hvor gæster kan scanne og derefter logge ind med forudindstillet personlig oplysning (fx mailadresse, fulde navn eller mobilnummer). 

Denne funktion bruges typisk af gæster, som lynhurtigt vil se sit værelsesnummer og PIN-kode til døren – uden at skulle finde sin bekræftelsesmail eller Personlige Gæstebog frem.

​Are you so concerned about overbooking and incorrect prices that you resort to manual entry...

 ...and subsequently spend a lot of time double-checking bookings for rooms and table reservations?

Perhaps it's time to let OCTOPUS handle all the work for you, so you can focus on providing personalized service to your guests.

​Our user-friendly system ensures that your bookings from online booking portals (Booking.com, Hotels.com, Expedia, etc.) are automatically updated in your system – and, of course, keeps all booking portals synchronized with both prices and available rooms, preventing overbooking.

​OctopusPro integrates directly with the following booking portals:​

booking.com
Trivago
Expedia

With OCTOPUS, you get a flexible, visual overview of room bookings, prices, and availability, with easy switching to other time periods and quick updates of, for example, prices.

Systemet, der hjælper dig dag og nat
By in

The system that helps you day and night.

octopus is online 24/7

​OCTOPUS does not have so-called 'night runs' – the system is just as online and active in the morning and at noon as it is at night.

​No more need to finalize everything before the day ends​ We understand that the industry is accustomed to finalizing all tasks in the system on the same day to ensure accurate representation in subsequent statistical and accounting reports. However, our system operates differently – with OCTOPUS, you can always revisit bookings and more to edit them.

We particularly see this in use when there is a busy period, and the task is therefore postponed to the following day – or with guests who wish to return with a final confirmation or continuously adjust their booking.

​When you later generate statistics or finalize accounting, everything will, of course, be included on the correct date.

Efter en totalrenovering af Fanø Krogaard i 2020, havde vi brug for et simpelt system til drift af vores restaurant og 25 værelser, som vi alle hurtigt kunne lære at bruge – også for vores sæsonpersonale.
Derudover var det også vigtigt med et system, der kunne integrere med vores øvrige systemer.

One of the reasons why OCTOPUS was at the top of the wish list for PMS systems was especially its incredibly user-friendly platform and the integration between the restaurant and the hotel. 

Vi er stadig rigtig glade for at bruge OCTOPUS i alle afdelinger – fra reception og rengøring til konferencestyring og tjenere.
OCTOPUS-teamet er serviceminded, lytter til vores ønsker, løser vores udfordringer og er tilgængelige i mange uundværlige situationer. Det sætter vi stor pris på!

We give OCTOPUS our clear recommendations.
