Desk tablet and sign-in at the desk
Pair a guest-facing tablet at the desk, and put a guest's stay on their phone with a one-time QR before they leave.
Two things help the front desk at check-in: a tablet on the desk facing the guest (the guest screen), and Sign in at the desk, a one-time QR that opens the guest's stay on their phone with nothing to type.
Sign in at the desk#
What to say: "Scan to open your stay. No app needed."
- Find the guest: Guests, Arrivals and stay codes, then More and Sign in at the desk. Or Sign in on the Guest profile or in the Inbox guest panel.
- Show the QR to the guest: turn your screen, or use the guest screen, which shows it by itself. The guest scans it with the phone camera and lands in their stay.
- Wait for Signed in, then press Done.
- Each QR works once, for 10 minutes. New QR makes another one and cancels the last. Print gives a paper copy that also lasts 10 minutes.
- Works for guests in house and for confirmed bookings arriving today or tomorrow. Never after checkout.
- Front desk and concierge staff, team leads, managers and admins can sign guests in.
- For the counter, print the desk card from Rooms, Hotel QR.
Pair a guest screen#
- On the desk's own computer, signed in as a manager, open Hotel and Guest screen.
- Name the screen, for example Desk 1, and press Add guest screen. A QR and a 6-digit code appear, valid for 10 minutes.
- On the tablet, scan the QR. It opens Connect this screen. Type the code and press Connect.
- The dashboard says the screen is connected. The tablet stays paired until someone presses Unpair.
Pair from the browser the desk uses to sign guests in. A sign-in QR shows on the guest screen only when it was made from the same desk computer.
What the guest sees#
- Between guests: the hotel name, the hotel's current offers one at a time, and the hotel QR with Scan to open your stay.
- During a sign-in: Scan to sign in, with the guest's own QR. After the scan, You're in for a few seconds.
- The screen never shows a guest's name or room.
- If the connection drops, it shows Reconnecting to the front desk.
