Hotel Rival, a prestigious Stockholm luxury hotel, has been an Oaky customer since 2017. As soon as Oaky rolled out the new upselling module, Front Desk Upsell automation, Hotel Rival became one of the first customers to adopt it.
Why it matters: The integration between Oaky and Mews has helped turn hesitant front desk agents into upselling superstars, helping them elevate the guest experience and drive more profit.
  • By combining seamless onboarding, a user-friendly learning curve, and the ability for Hotel Rival to provide incentives to their front desk agents, Oaky has significantly contributed to enhancing overall staff satisfaction, consequently making their hotel a more appealing workplace.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Hotel Rival was looking at how to elevate guest experience while driving profitability on-arrival and decreasing turnover of the hotel front-desk staff:
  • Stellar guest experience: As Jesper Sandberg, Revenue and eCommerce Manager at Hotel Rival, points out, guests who stay in higher room categories are generally more satisfied guests and more willing to spend money on extra services and amenities. Thus, one of the main reasons why Hotel Rival implements upselling at the front desk was to improve their guests’ stays.

  • Higher upsell revenue: Satisfied guests leaving positive reviews not only enhance the hotel's reputation but also provide an opportunity to raise rates, ultimately increasing ancillary revenue.

  • Staff satisfaction: Happier staff makes it easier to have happier guests, which leads to more revenue and a happier management team.
