All-in-one dashboard for faster check-ins

A dedicated interface keeps the team organised from the first arrival. Handle guest enquiries, reservation changes, and payments from the same screen, so nobody has to switch between systems while a guest waits.

On peak arrival days, check in several arrivals at once and apply an extra to multiple bookings in one operation.

Includes: Live arrivals and departures list, reservation and guest profile lookup, on-the-spot booking changes, payment capture.

Anticipate needs, exceed expectations

Front Desk Management recognises returning guests, so the team can offer the kind of personal touch that used to depend on memory. When something goes wrong, resolve it at the desk with a gesture, a discount, or a fix, rather than promising to look into it.

Includes: Guest history and preferences on the reservation, work orders raised straight to housekeeping or maintenance, service recovery options at the desk.

Finish on a high note

Automated check-out speeds up departure, so the last thing a guest remembers is not a queue. Offer a rebooking or gift voucher on the spot, while the stay is still fresh and before next season's prices are even set.

Includes: Automated check-out and billing close, loyalty points and gesture options, early rebooking and gift voucher offers.

Desk teams have to trust it before guests will

Front desk teams turn over every season. What wins them over isn't a feature list; it is seeing guests get a better experience because of it.

Running on 400+ locations, 13 countries and 50K+ accommodations · 1.5M reservations annually

“At first, receptionists and maintenance staff were sceptical. They thought, ‘this can’t possibly work.’ But once they saw how happy it made guests, and how much time it saved, they embraced it. Self-service check-in, automated locks and guest portals have transformed the way we operate.”

Jolanda Kamphuis , Commercial Director, De Krim Texel

Questions front desk teams ask us

Is this a different product from Front Desk Management?

No. Front Desk is how the function works day-to-day, using Front Desk Management, the screen your reception team is already on. This page is the overview; that page is the workflow.

How long does it take to train a seasonal receptionist?

An afternoon for the core desk workflow: check-in, check-out, reservation changes and taking a payment, because it is one screen rather than several systems to learn.

What happens to a guest issue the desk cannot resolve on the spot?

We log unresolved guest issues against the guest and reservation as a work order or case, so it keeps a record and a status rather than depending on whoever is on shift.

Does it work with our existing check-in hardware and payment terminals?

Yes. The desk workflow and cash register logic connect to the payment terminals and access hardware you already use, rather than replacing them.

Can each park or site run its own front desk process?

Yes. Required fields, payment terms and desk workflows are set per location, inherited from group level where you want consistency and overridden where a site genuinely differs.

How does the front desk connect to the Guest Help Desk?

All three read the same reservation and guest record, so a guest who has already messaged you, or messages you after, never has to repeat themselves at the desk.

Can we check in several arrivals at once?

Yes. Front Desk Management lets your team check in several arrivals in one operation instead of processing each reservation separately.
