... It's easy. I really like how we are able to send the authorizations to guests and automatically load the cards from the form. Canary Technology has significantly streamlined the guest experience while improving operational efficiency. The ability to send authorizations directly to guests, coupled with the automated card-loading feature, saves an incredible amount of time and reduces manual errors. This integration enhances not only the user experience but also the hotel's internal processes. By eliminating the need for paper forms or manual card entries, the system minimizes risks of data breaches or misplaced information. The platform’s intuitive interface is another major highlight. Even for staff members who may not be tech-savvy, Canary Technology’s system is straightforward to learn and use. This accessibility ensures that every team member can contribute effectively to the smooth running of operations, ultimately improving productivity and guest satisfaction. One of the most impactful benefits is the reduction of chargebacks and disputes. By having a digital ...

... I have been using Canary for a while now, and I must say it has significantly improved our hotel management processes. The system is user-friendly and offers a range of features that streamline operations, from guest check-ins to managing reservations and payments. One of the standout aspects of Canary is its Guest Messaging Software. It allows us to communicate effortlessly with our guests via text messaging, ensuring we can respond promptly to their needs and collaborate effectively with our team. This feature has greatly enhanced our ability to provide excellent customer service and maintain clear communication channels. Additionally, the Upselling Software has been a game-changer for our revenue management. It helps us upsell ancillary services and upgrade packages seamlessly, boosting our total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) and ensuring guest fulfillment. The ability to offer tailored packages and upgrades has not only increased our revenue but also enhanced the overall guest experience. The Contactless Check-in feature is another highlight. It enables guests to check in and out using their mobile devices, reducing wait times and minimizing congestion in the lobby. This contactless process has been particularly beneficial in enhancing the guest experience and maintaining safety standards at the front desk and during check-out. Guests appreciate the convenience and efficiency of being able to manage their check-in and check-out without having to wait in lines. Moreover, Canary’s integration with other hotel management tools has been seamless, making our workflow much more efficient. The system’s reliability and the responsive support team have ensured that we experience minimal downtime, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional service to our guests. We are thrilled that 75% of our guests use the system, and we have achieved a 4.7/5 guest satisfaction rating. Recently, Canary added a new feature and dashboard that shows the guests’ images, which has been a game-changer for us. This visual aid has improved our ability to recognize and personalize guest interactions. A special mention goes to Bonnie from Canary, who has been outstanding ...

... While Canary Technologies offers a robust platform, there are areas where improvements could enhance the overall experience. One significant aspect is the customization options for reporting features. Currently, the default reports are useful, but allowing businesses to tailor data insights more closely to their unique needs would be invaluable. This would enable properties to generate specific reports that highlight key performance indicators relevant to their operations, helping them make more informed decisions. Additionally, I found that the integration process with some legacy systems can be somewhat challenging. While their team is supportive, a more streamlined approach to integrations would reduce the time and effort required during setup. Enhancing the onboarding experience with more comprehensive guides or tutorials could also empower users to navigate the platform more effectively. Lastly, while the customer support team is generally responsive, there have been instances of longer ...

... We were looking for something to bridge the gap between our new PMS and our guests, and decided to go with Canary. It's important to us as a Hostel to be very close to our guests, and needed something that championed that connection, while offering a range of additional features to improve our revenue. This has revolutionised the communications between ourselves and our guests, and it's given us something like a paradigm shift in our check-in process. The integrations with our PMS are constantly improving and the interface that Canary uses is always expanding. Everything has been really positive and with every update things get even better. The ability to offer upsells directly during the process has been great, and we're constantly also generating extra revenue, which makes the choice to purchase feel so much more worth it. Another feature that we've enjoyed has been the AI messaging which is developing itself nicely, learning from our manual responses to guests and replicating these responses, albeit in a very believable tone. Guests don't realise it's the AI responding instead of us, which is amazing work and frees our staff up for other tasks. Very efficient. The support team is also responsive ...

... Canary Guest Messaging and Contactless Check-In have revolutionized our guest experience. The guest messaging tool allows us to communicate directly with guests in real time, making it easy to respond quickly to inquiries or requests. The contactless check-in feature is a huge win—guests appreciate the convenience of skipping the front desk and handling everything from their mobile phones. It has helped us reduce wait times, improve overall satisfaction, and create a more efficient front desk operation. Using Canary Guest Messaging and Contactless Check-In at our hotel has truly transformed the way we manage guest interactions. From the moment we implemented the software, we noticed an immediate improvement in guest satisfaction. The messaging platform is a standout feature—it allows us to engage with guests in real time, offering a more personalized and immediate response to any needs or questions they have. I’ve personally seen how much guests appreciate being able to text us for anything from room service requests to local recommendations without needing to pick up the phone. It has really enhanced the level of service we can offer, making interactions more efficient while still keeping them personal. The contactless check-in has been a lifesaver, particularly during peak check-in hours. We used to have long ...

... I’ve been working in the front office for several years and have had the pleasure of using Canary Technologies' guest messaging software, contactless check-in, and cyber security & fraud prevention tools. Canary has consistently proven to be an invaluable asset in enhancing our guest experience and streamlining operations. The guest messaging software is intuitive and keeps communication with guests efficient and personalized. Whether it's answering questions, providing room updates, or addressing concerns, the platform ensures quick and seamless interaction, making guests feel valued and heard. The contactless check-in feature has been a game-changer, especially in recent times. It allows guests to bypass the front desk while maintaining a smooth, stress-free check-in process. Not only does this save time for both the staff and the guests, but it also aligns with today’s demand for safer, more hygienic options. Canary’s cyber security and fraud prevention tools offer peace of mind. Working in the front office, I’ve seen firsthand how essential robust security measures are, and Canary has continually protected sensitive guest data ...

After using the app for a few weeks, I’m excited to share my insights on its performance and overall value. Real-Time Communication One of the standout features of the Canary Technologies app is its ability to connect with guests in real-time. This capability allows hotel staff to respond promptly to inquiries, requests, and concerns, creating an immediate sense of connection and responsiveness. The app’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for staff to access guest information and chat history, ensuring that each interaction is personalized and efficient.

Our team is using these upsell options to have a friendly competition to see who can upsell the most. They tease each other and encourage each other to make it fun to make the guest's day special. The front desk team continues to add upsell options including amenities the guest can add on themselves for another guest (or someone can call/text that we have a guest coming in that has a birthday and they can request items be left in their room ahead of time). When our team learns that it is an incoming guest's birthday, they can also add a note which increases our guest experience with a wow moment.

... More Turtles would be nice. These ones are pretty cold. I think they were sitting in his car for awhile. I'm in Canada and sometimes it gets cold out in the fall and winter months, as is the case today. When he gave me the Turtles, he said Merry Christmas with a swear word in between, but I believe he did it out of love. Have you guys ever had Turtles? They're delicious! Little pecan clusters with chocolate and caramel. Mmmmmmm!!! You MUST try them! They're better when fresh though, so to test them, give them a little squeeze outside of the wrapper. If they feel hard, then they're likely stale or a little old. These ones came in a box, so unfortunately you can't feel them without opening the seal, but fortunately these ones taste fresh once you get past the cold part. Turtles were developed in 1918 by Johnson's Candy Company (which became DeMet's Candy Company in 1923), after a salesman came into the commissary's dipping room and showed a candy to one of the dippers, who pointed out that the candy looked like a turtle. How cool is that?! I'm not sure when Canary was founded, but if I had to guess it would be around 2017? So definitely not as old as Turtles, but I'm sure they will get there at some point if they continue the great work!

Such as activities, fire drills, etc. The messaging software gives our guest the ability to ask us questions at anytime and respond back at their convenience. It helps the team prioritize inquiries. I also enjoy being able to set up automatic messages to be sent out at specific times. If a guest wants to opt out of receiving SMS messages they can simply reply with stop. Staff is able to keep up and follow through with guests inquiries through out the day as the messages with each guest are kept in a thread. The next staff member coming in can simply open up the thread and see what has been completed and what still needs to be done. The email notification when a message is received is also neat. It helps to make sure nothing is missed or skipped. On the Authorization ...

This privacy makes the guest feel more secure. The other things that I like about it are just how easy it is to use. There are other tools that I think are easy to use, but really Canary can be so easy. I stepped into a new role in hospitality about 4 months ago and have found it is very easy to use on an everyday basis. Another thing I love about this product is that it looks user friendly. None of it seems intimidating or out of date. Whenever I show someone the home page for the first time, they comment that it looks like the most intuitive piece of software that they are going to be using. In sum, I like that Canary feels secure, I like that it makes messaging easy, and I also like that it appears to be very user friendly. All of these are reasons why I enjoy this tech ...

Hoteliers often note the role of automation in Canary Technologies’ Guest Messaging Software, highlighting its ability to efficiently streamline operations and enhance guest interaction. They emphasize that the platform automates recurring tasks, such as sending credit card authorizations and receiving payment confirmations, which significantly reduces manual efforts and errors. Some hoteliers appreciate the AI-driven chatbot feature, which automatically manages initial guest communications and allows hotel staff to focus on more complex issues or in-person interactions. However, challenges have been reported with AI accuracy, leading some properties to disable the feature due to the potential for incorrect responses or misinformation. Overall, the automation capabilities are seen as a mechanism to improve service delivery times and minimize repetitive tasks, although further refinement might be needed to enhance accuracy and response relevance.

Additionally, I really appreciate how the platform is designed to be highly user-friendly, with a simple, clear interface that minimizes the need for extensive training or technical knowledge.

... There are numerous features of the Canary Technologies Mobile Check-In Software that my staff and I truly appreciate. One of the key benefits is the ability to communicate with guests via text, allowing us to promptly address any inquiries they may have. This has significantly enhanced the overall guest experience, particularly when guests require assistance or items delivered to their rooms. I vividly recall a guest who was deaf and had several questions, which I was able to efficiently address through text messaging. Additionally, we were able to notify her when housekeeping was prepared to service her room. The software has revolutionized the upselling process for our guests. By knowing in advance if guests are bringing pets or requesting early check-in, the Front Desk team's responsibilities have been streamlined. Furthermore, the mobile check-out function alerts us if a guest departs without visiting the front desk, ultimately boosting our revenue. During slower periods, I can even enable guests to upgrade their rooms, providing an additional revenue stream. The Upsell feature is amazing to use. The ability for our housekeepers, front desk agents, breakfast attendants, and maintenance staff to receive tips from guests who do not have cash has significantly boosted morale. They appreciate the convenience of accumulating funds and depositing them directly into their bank accounts or debit cards. Moreover, the contactless check-in feature has reduced wait times by having all necessary paperwork ...

One of the standout features of this software is its user-friendly interface, which allows hotel staff to easily send messages, updates, and important information directly to guests’ mobile devices. This capability ensures that important announcements, such as check-in times, special offers, or changes in services, can be communicated promptly.

... Review of the Canary Technology System: A Game-Changer for Hospitality Management Our experience with the Canary Technology system has been nothing short of excellent. From the moment we implemented it, the platform has proven to be a well-designed and effective solution for streamlining operations, improving guest experiences, and generating additional revenue. Below is a detailed review of our journey with Canary Technology and the transformative impact it has had on our daily operations. 1. Seamless Installation and Onboarding Process One of the standout aspects of the Canary Technology platform is how simple it was to install and integrate into our existing systems. The onboarding process was remarkably smooth, with clear guidance at every step. Both our IT team and operational staff were able to adapt quickly to the platform, thanks to the effective training and easy-to-follow instructions. Within days, our staff were fully comfortable using the platform, and the level of engagement has been impressive ever since. 2. Intuitive Platform with Excellent Staff and Guest Engagement The platform’s intuitive design has made it exceptionally easy for our team to use. The learning curve was minimal, which allowed everyone—from front desk personnel to management—to maximize the system’s capabilities right away. The same can be said for our guests. The platform's user-friendly interface has led to a guest engagement level that has exceeded our expectations. From pre-arrival interactions to messaging throughout the stay, guests have embraced the system with enthusiasm. 3. Straightforward PMS Integration The integration with our Property Management System (PMS) was as easy as promised. This seamless integration has ensured that all guest data flows effortlessly between systems, eliminating duplicate data entry and allowing our team to focus more on service delivery. 4. Impact on Operations: Faster Check ...

This has revolutionised the communications between ourselves and our guests, and it's given us something like a paradigm shift in our check-in process. The integrations with our PMS are constantly improving and the interface that Canary uses is always expanding. Everything has been really positive and with every update things get even better. The ability to offer upsells directly during the process has been great, and we're constantly also generating extra revenue, which makes the choice to purchase feel so much more worth it.

The Sales team was not pushy but did follow up a number of times until we made our final decision. The Credit Card authorization system was very easy to use which made training very simple for our staff. Having both the option to sent the authorization via text or email was great. Our guests have also enjoyed the ease of use of the system as well. We have received great feedback from them. This definitely helps us reduce fraud and also hehelp protect our guests privacy. If there is a chargeback all you have to do is send the information to Canary and they will handle the rest. Their text messaging system is very easy to use as well. The set up of the auto ...

Its intuitive design allows guests to easily navigate the platform, making it incredibly simple for them to reach out for assistance or to inquire about services. This ease of use is crucial in the fast-paced environment of the hospitality industry, where guests often seek immediate information and support.

The integration of multiple communication channels—such as SMS, app messaging, and web chat—provides guests with flexibility, catering to their individual preferences. Whether they prefer to communicate via text or through an app, the choice is theirs, enhancing their comfort and satisfaction. This adaptability reflects a modern approach to hospitality, where guest convenience is paramount. Furthermore, the instant feedback provided by the system helps build trust and rapport between guests and hotel staff. When guests receive timely responses to their inquiries ...

... More Turtles would be nice. These ones are pretty cold. I think they were sitting in his car for awhile. I'm in Canada and sometimes it gets cold out in the fall and winter months, as is the case today. When he gave me the Turtles, he said Merry Christmas with a swear word in between, but I believe he did it out of love. Have you guys ever had Turtles? They're delicious! Little pecan clusters with chocolate and caramel. Mmmmmmm!!! You MUST try them! They're better when fresh though, so to test them, give them a little squeeze outside of the wrapper. If they feel hard, then they're likely stale or a little old. These ones came in a box, so unfortunately you can't feel them without opening the seal, but fortunately these ones taste fresh once you get past the cold part. Turtles were developed in 1918 by Johnson's Candy Company (which became DeMet's Candy Company in 1923), after a salesman came into the commissary's dipping room and showed a candy to one of the dippers, who pointed out that the candy looked like a turtle. How cool is that?! I'm not sure when Canary was founded, but if I had to guess it would be around 2017? So definitely not as old as Turtles, but I'm sure they will get there at some point if they continue the great work! I started using Canary in 2023 after my workplace started using it to send credit card authorization forms to guests. This allows us to no longer require a paper copy of a credit card authorization form with the chance of losing it as it is now all online and stored securely. This is very helpful and you can easily look up credit card authorizations that may be pending, submitted or archived. Sometimes we have guests who are repeat guests, and the authorization forms through Canary can be marked ...

Hoteliers often highlight the integration capabilities of Canary Technologies' Guest Messaging Software. A key observation is the range of integrations with common systems such as property management systems (PMS), which many users find beneficial for streamlining operations. However, some hoteliers report challenges with the ease of setting up these integrations, indicating that the process can sometimes be complex or require additional support. Reliability is generally praised, with integrations tending to work consistently without frequent syncing issues. There is also mention of customization options, allowing users to tailor integrations to specific operational needs, although this may vary based on existing systems.

Scalability for Larger Properties: Many users have noted that while the platform is effective for small to mid-sized hotels, there may be challenges when it comes to larger properties or hotel chains. Enhancing scalability could help them better accommodate the needs of larger operations. 2.

... I have been using Canary for a while now, and I must say it has significantly improved our hotel management processes. The system is user-friendly and offers a range of features that streamline operations, from guest check-ins to managing reservations and payments. One of the standout aspects of Canary is its Guest Messaging Software. It allows us to communicate effortlessly with our guests via text messaging, ensuring we can respond promptly to their needs and collaborate effectively with our team. This feature has greatly enhanced our ability to provide excellent customer service and maintain clear communication channels. Additionally, the Upselling Software has been a game-changer for our revenue management. It helps us upsell ancillary services and upgrade packages seamlessly, boosting our total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) and ensuring guest fulfillment. The ability to offer tailored packages and upgrades has not only increased our revenue but also enhanced the overall guest experience. The Contactless Check-in feature is another highlight. It enables guests to check in and out using their mobile devices, reducing wait times and minimizing congestion in the lobby. This contactless process has been particularly beneficial in enhancing the guest experience and maintaining safety standards at the front desk and during check-out. Guests appreciate the convenience and efficiency of being able to manage their check-in and check-out without having to wait in lines. Moreover, Canary’s integration with other hotel management tools ...

Guest messaging software has revolutionized the hospitality industry by enhancing cyber security, fraud prevention, and guest convenience. By implementing advanced encryption and authentication protocols, these systems ensure that sensitive guest information remains secure, significantly reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches. Moreover, robust fraud prevention measures detect and mitigate suspicious activities, safeguarding both the hotel and its guests. The convenience factor is also greatly improved with guest messaging software. Guests can easily check in and out, request services, and communicate with hotel staff through their mobile devices, enhancing their overall experience. Additionally, the software provides a clear and detailed breakdown of charges, helping guests better understand their expenses and avoid any billing disputes. Upselling software integrated within guest messaging platforms offers hotels an effective way to present additional services and amenities to guests in a compelling manner.

I am concerned that this may prevent the appropriate individuals from seeing new messages from guests once I have viewed them. I believe it would greatly enhance user proficiency if comprehensive training resources or manuals were provided to improve staff expertise and the efficiency of using the platform. Additionally, introducing advanced analytics and reporting features could provide deeper insights into guest behavior and operational efficiency, particularly beneficial for further engagement with repeat guests. As someone dedicated to improving operations, I suggest implementing a feature where users can save and access frequently used templates or notes. Here are some suggestions for enhancing this feature: 1. Organizational Tools: provide folders or categories within the archives or notes section to better organize templates based on their purpose or departmental use. 2. Customizable Templates: allow users to create and customize their own templates, including variables for personalized guest communications. 3. Search and Tagging: implement robust search functionality and tagging options to quickly locate specific templates based on keywords or tags. 4.Version Control: enable version control so that users can track changes made to templates over time and revert to previous versions if needed. 5.

I can place them in rooms and key areas for more visibility and to encourage guests to use it. I really appreciated how quickly I was able to get in touch with someone to walk me through the site and explain all the features. I came into this position after they had started digital tipping and did not know what to do. The associate was very helpful and made sure that I received new stickers with QR codes and cards to place in the rooms the next day after I inquired. I also was able to meet some of the Canary partners at our Best Western Conference this year and was able to ask questions and was shown how everything worked. I love the new improvement where you can send a text message to fill out the form. I think this was a great addition and so much easier when it comes to making sure a guest receives the auth form.

... It's easy. I really like how we are able to send the authorizations to guests and automatically load the cards from the form. Canary Technology has significantly streamlined the guest experience while improving operational efficiency. The ability to send authorizations directly to guests, coupled with the automated card-loading feature, saves an incredible amount of time and reduces manual errors. This integration enhances not only the user experience but also the hotel's internal processes. By eliminating the need for paper forms or manual card entries, the system minimizes risks of data breaches or misplaced information. The platform’s intuitive interface is another major highlight. Even for staff members who may not be tech-savvy, Canary Technology’s system is straightforward to learn and use. This accessibility ensures that every team member can contribute effectively to the smooth running of operations, ultimately improving productivity and guest satisfaction. One of the most impactful benefits is the reduction of chargebacks and disputes. By having a digital trail of all transactions and guest authorizations, the platform offers a layer of security and accountability that traditional methods lack. This feature has provided peace of mind for both management and guests, knowing that sensitive financial information is handled securely. Additionally, Canary Technology's customer support team deserves recognition. They are prompt, knowledgeable, and willing to assist with any troubleshooting or customization needs. This level of service has made the implementation and ongoing use of the system seamless. Another standout feature is the seamless integration with other hotel management systems. This ensures that data flows effortlessly across platforms, creating a cohesive and efficient operational environment. Moreover, the ability to customize forms and workflows caters to the unique needs of each property, adding a level of flexibility that is rare in similar technologies. Overall, Canary Technology has been a game-changer in how we manage guest payments and authorizations. Its emphasis on convenience, security, and efficiency aligns perfectly with the needs of modern hospitality operations. I would highly recommend it to any hotel or resort looking to modernize their processes and deliver ...

... Canary Guest Messaging and Contactless Check-In have revolutionized our guest experience. The guest messaging tool allows us to communicate directly with guests in real time, making it easy to respond quickly to inquiries or requests. The contactless check-in feature is a huge win—guests appreciate the convenience of skipping the front desk and handling everything from their mobile phones. It has helped us reduce wait times, improve overall satisfaction, and create a more efficient front desk operation. Using Canary Guest Messaging and Contactless Check-In at our hotel has truly transformed the way we manage guest interactions. From the moment we implemented the software, we noticed an immediate improvement in guest satisfaction. The messaging platform is a standout feature—it allows us to engage with guests in real time, offering a more personalized and immediate response to any needs or questions they have. I’ve personally seen how much guests appreciate being able to text us for anything from room service requests to local recommendations without needing to pick up the phone. It has really enhanced the level of service we can offer, making interactions more efficient while still keeping them personal. The contactless check-in has been a lifesaver, particularly during peak check-in hours. We used to have long lines at the front desk, which created unnecessary frustration for both guests and staff. Now, guests can handle check-in themselves before they even arrive, right from their phones. They love the convenience of bypassing the front desk, and we’ve seen fewer complaints about wait times and quicker ...

... As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, the need for robust fraud detection services is becoming increasingly critical. With the rise of digital transactions and online bookings, hotels are facing new vulnerabilities that could jeopardize their operations and guest trust. This is where Canary has a unique opportunity to step in and lead the way. By developing and implementing cutting-edge fraud detection solutions, Canary could not only address these emerging challenges but also position itself as a pioneer in the field. This would involve creating innovative tools that utilize advanced algorithms, machine learning, and data analytics to identify and prevent fraudulent activities in real-time. Such capabilities would greatly enhance the suite of solutions Canary already offers to hotels, making it a one-stop shop for comprehensive management needs. However, while the potential is significant, the implementation of these services must be approached with care. There’s a risk of overwhelming hotel staff with too many features or overly complex systems. To truly be effective, any new fraud detection tools should be integrated seamlessly into the existing platform, ensuring they are user-friendly and easy to navigate. Moreover, collaboration ...

... In the rapidly evolving hospitality industry, the need for effective communication with guests has never been more crucial. Canary Technologies’ guest messaging app emerges as a powerful tool that not only facilitates real-time communication but also integrates seamlessly with property management systems (PMS) and incorporates AI functionality to enhance the guest experience. After using the app for a few weeks, I’m excited to share my insights on its performance and overall value. Real-Time Communication One of the standout features of the Canary Technologies app is its ability to connect with guests in real-time. This capability allows hotel staff to respond promptly to inquiries, requests, and concerns, creating an immediate sense of connection and responsiveness. The app’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for staff to access guest information and chat history, ensuring that each interaction is personalized and efficient. Guests can reach out via text, and the notifications keep staff informed of incoming messages, allowing for swift replies that enhance guest satisfaction. Integration with Property Management Systems Another impressive aspect of the Canary Technologies app is its integration with existing property management systems. This feature streamlines operations significantly, as staff can access relevant guest data and booking details without having to switch between multiple platforms. The integration not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of miscommunication, ensuring that staff have all the necessary information at their fingertips. This holistic approach to guest management allows for a more cohesive experience, both for staff and guests. AI-Driven Responses The incorporation of AI functionality takes the guest messaging experience to the next level. The app’s AI can respond to common inquiries automatically, which is particularly beneficial during peak times when staff may be overwhelmed. For example, if a guest asks about check-out times or amenities, the AI can provide immediate answers without human intervention. This not only improves response times but also frees up staff to focus on more complex requests that require a personal touch. While the AI isn’t perfect, it effectively handles a significant portion of standard queries, allowing for a more efficient workflow. User Experience From a usability standpoint, the app is intuitive and easy to navigate. Both staff and guests find the interface straightforward, which is crucial in high-pressure environments like hotels. The onboarding process for staff is minimal, and training can be accomplished quickly, ensuring that the entire team can leverage the app’s features effectively. Guests also appreciate the convenience of being able to communicate via their preferred messaging channels, further enhancing their overall experience. Conclusion In conclusion, Canary Technologies’ guest messaging app is a game changer for the hospitality industry. Its ability to facilitate real time communication, integrate with property management systems, and utilize AI to handle routine inquiries makes it an invaluable tool for hotels looking to enhance their guest services. While there’s always room for improvement—particularly in refining AI responses—the app provides a solid foundation for modern ...

Don't have cash to tip ? No worries ! With Canary you just scan a QR code that leads you to the site where you choose who you would like to tip and its all paperless ...

Hoteliers often express their satisfaction with Canary Technologies’ guest messaging software, highlighting its robust functionality. The software excels in core features, effectively handling both critical tasks such as booking and guest communication, and non-core tasks like upselling and fraud prevention. Users appreciate its reliability, despite some minor issues with AI chat responses that occasionally deliver incorrect information. The system’s scalability allows it to grow with businesses, accommodating both small and larger properties, and is adaptable in terms of customization, allowing tailored workflows and messaging. Automation is a standout strength, with tasks like billing, pre-check-ins, and guest communication streamlined to reduce manual effort and operational costs. While most users view the reporting features as informative and essential for business insights, international capabilities like multilingual support are acknowledged but suggested for further enhancement. Overall, hoteliers find that the functionality covers all expected needs, helping to ensure efficient, secure, and engaging operations in the hospitality industry.

... It's easy. I really like how we are able to send the authorizations to guests and automatically load the cards from the form. Canary Technology has significantly streamlined the guest experience while improving operational efficiency. The ability to send authorizations directly to guests, coupled with the automated card-loading feature, saves an incredible amount of time and reduces manual errors. This integration enhances not only the user experience but also the hotel's internal processes. By eliminating the need for paper forms or manual card entries, the system minimizes risks of data breaches or misplaced information. The platform’s intuitive interface is another major highlight. Even for staff members who may not be tech-savvy, Canary Technology’s system is straightforward to learn and use. This accessibility ensures that every team member can contribute effectively to the smooth running of operations, ultimately improving productivity and guest satisfaction. One of the most impactful benefits is the reduction of chargebacks and disputes. By having a digital trail of all transactions and guest authorizations, the platform offers a layer of security and accountability that traditional methods lack. This feature has provided peace of mind for both management and guests, knowing that sensitive financial information is handled securely. Additionally, Canary Technology's customer support team deserves recognition. They are prompt, knowledgeable, and willing to assist with any troubleshooting or customization needs. This level of service has made the implementation and ongoing use of the system seamless. Another standout feature is the seamless integration with other hotel management systems. This ensures that data flows effortlessly across platforms, creating a cohesive and efficient operational environment. Moreover, the ability to customize ...

... I have been using Canary for a while now, and I must say it has significantly improved our hotel management processes. The system is user-friendly and offers a range of features that streamline operations, from guest check-ins to managing reservations and payments. One of the standout aspects of Canary is its Guest Messaging Software. It allows us to communicate effortlessly with our guests via text messaging, ensuring we can respond promptly to their needs and collaborate effectively with our team. This feature has greatly enhanced our ability to provide excellent customer service and maintain clear communication channels. Additionally, the Upselling Software has been a game-changer for our revenue management. It helps us upsell ancillary services and upgrade packages seamlessly, boosting our total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) and ensuring guest fulfillment. The ability to offer tailored packages and upgrades has not only increased our revenue but also enhanced the overall guest experience. The Contactless Check-in feature is another highlight. It enables guests to check in and out using their mobile devices, reducing wait times and minimizing congestion in the lobby. This contactless process has been particularly beneficial in enhancing the guest experience and maintaining safety standards at the front desk and during check-out. Guests appreciate the convenience and efficiency of being able to manage their check-in and check-out without having to wait in lines. Moreover, Canary’s integration with other hotel management tools has been seamless, making our workflow much more efficient. The system’s reliability and the responsive support team have ensured that we experience minimal downtime, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional service to our guests. We are thrilled that 75% of our guests use the system, and we have achieved a 4.7/5 guest satisfaction rating. Recently, Canary added a new feature and dashboard that shows the guests’ images, which has been a game-changer for us. This visual ...

... Review of the Canary Technology System: A Game-Changer for Hospitality Management Our experience with the Canary Technology system has been nothing short of excellent. From the moment we implemented it, the platform has proven to be a well-designed and effective solution for streamlining operations, improving guest experiences, and generating additional revenue. Below is a detailed review of our journey with Canary Technology and the transformative impact it has had on our daily operations. 1. Seamless Installation and Onboarding Process One of the standout aspects of the Canary Technology platform is how simple it was to install and integrate into our existing systems. The onboarding process was remarkably smooth, with clear guidance at every step. Both our IT team and operational staff were able to adapt quickly to the platform, thanks to the effective training and easy-to-follow instructions. Within days, our staff were fully comfortable using the platform, and the level of engagement has been impressive ever since. 2. Intuitive Platform with Excellent Staff and Guest Engagement The platform’s intuitive design has made it exceptionally easy for our team to use. The learning curve was minimal, which allowed everyone—from front desk personnel to management—to maximize the system’s capabilities right away. The same can be said for our guests. The platform's user-friendly interface has led to a guest engagement level that has exceeded our expectations. From pre-arrival interactions to messaging throughout the stay, guests have embraced the system with enthusiasm. 3. Straightforward PMS Integration The integration with our Property Management System (PMS) was as easy as promised. This seamless integration has ensured that all guest data flows effortlessly between systems, eliminating duplicate data entry and allowing our team to focus more on service delivery. 4. Impact on Operations: Faster Check-ins and Increased Efficiency One of the most visible operational improvements has been at the front desk. With 75% of our arrivals now using the pre-registration function, we’ve managed to cut check-in times by up to five minutes per guest. This time-saving improvement has greatly reduced congestion at the front desk, leading to a more pleasant experience for both guests and staff, especially during peak periods. 5. Revenue Growth through Consistent Upselling ...

User Interface

Sophisticated

165 reviews mentions in "User Interface""

105 positive

60 negative

Hoteliers often find the user interface of Canary Technologies’s Guest Messaging Software, Canary Messages, to be intuitive and user-friendly. The menus and features are generally easy to navigate, making the software accessible even for first-time users. However, some users reported that the visual design could benefit from a more modern and visually appealing update. The responsiveness of the interface is appreciated by many, but there are occasional concerns about glitches and lags. Customizability is another area where improvements could be made, as users desire more options to personalize their interaction with the system. The clarity of information is considered satisfactory, but there are requests for enhanced visualization, especially regarding data presentation. Mobile compatibility is generally reliable, although there are suggestions for optimizations to enhance the mobile user experience. Accessibility features, like screen reader support, are not noted among users, suggesting potential areas for further development.

... While Canary Technologies’ solutions are generally effective, there are a few areas that could be improved. The Guest Messaging Software could benefit from integration with external platforms, and more personalized upsell recommendations in the Upselling Software would be valuable. However, we’ve noticed that the upselling software sometimes doesn’t sync properly with Snyxis Hub, which can result in charges, such as late check-out fees, not appearing on the guest’s card. This may be more of an issue with Snyxis Hub itself, but it’s worth addressing. Enhancing the Hotel Chatbots with more advanced AI, refining ...

... The guest messaging software only allows you to message numbers of guests that are in Opera. Not all of the guests have provided us with numbers or provide a number of their accompanying guest that they would like to reach out to. The contactless check ins at our property no longer send manually so it does take quite a chunk of time to have to go in and send each individual one every morning. I would love to add different options to the credit card authorization form because there is a button for room and tax (and a destination fee) but then a button for room plus fees and I think they should just be the same thing or two separate options. One for room and tax, one for room tax and fees (including the destination fee). I don't like that they can submit a partial contactless check in with none of the information really filled out. I also wish that canary would automatically mark the check in as invalid if the name ...

Specifically, one of the main challenges we face is the risk of double messaging when multiple team members respond to guest inquiries simultaneously. A "typing" indicator, similar to what we see in other messaging platforms, would be a valuable addition. This would allow team members to see when a colleague is already crafting a response, which would help prevent duplicate responses and ensure smoother communication with our guests. Additionally, I think it would be helpful to have an option to filter messages by "read" and "unread ...

... Review of the Canary Technology System: A Game-Changer for Hospitality Management Our experience with the Canary Technology system has been nothing short of excellent. From the moment we implemented it, the platform has proven to be a well-designed and effective solution for streamlining operations, improving guest experiences, and generating additional revenue. Below is a detailed review of our journey with Canary Technology and the transformative impact it has had on our daily operations. 1. Seamless Installation and Onboarding Process One of the standout aspects of the Canary Technology platform is how simple it was to install and integrate into our existing systems. The onboarding process was remarkably smooth, with clear guidance at every step. Both our IT team and operational staff were able to adapt quickly to the platform, thanks to the effective training and easy-to-follow instructions. Within days, our staff were fully comfortable using the platform, and the level of engagement has been impressive ever since. 2. Intuitive Platform with Excellent Staff and Guest Engagement The platform’s intuitive design has made it exceptionally easy for our team to use. The learning curve was minimal, which allowed everyone—from front desk personnel to management—to maximize the system’s capabilities right away. The same can be said for our guests. The platform's user-friendly interface has led to a guest engagement level that has exceeded our expectations. From pre-arrival interactions to messaging ...

I believe it would greatly enhance user proficiency if comprehensive training resources or manuals were provided to improve staff expertise and the efficiency of using the platform. Additionally, introducing advanced analytics and reporting features could provide deeper insights into guest behavior and operational efficiency, particularly beneficial for further engagement with repeat guests. As someone dedicated to improving operations, I suggest implementing a feature where users can save and access frequently used templates or notes. Here are some suggestions for enhancing this feature: 1.
