Jo&Joe Nation reaches a 60% online check-in rate within one month of rolling out with Duve

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Jo&Joe, an innovative hostel brand under Ennismore (lifestyle brand of the Accor group), operates 10 global properties.

Why it matters: In an effort to enhance its operations and guest satisfaction, Jo&Joe Nation began integrating Duve’s guest experience suite

Jo&Joe had three core objectives when implementing Duve: increase the online check-in conversion rates, escalate guest app utilization, and unlock new dimensions of revenue generation.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Jo&Joe sought to enhance their check-in process efficiency, boost guest app engagement for better communication of services and events, and maximize upsell opportunities by integrating add-on services like towels, padlocks, and breakfast into the guest journey.

Enhancing online check-in conversion: Jo&Joe attempted using a self-check-in kiosk as well as an alternative online check-in tool prior to Duve, however, they struggled with streamlining the check-in process to make it more efficient and less time-consuming for guests.
Boosting guest app engagement: With many events and announcements needing to be shared with guests, Jo&Joe searched for an efficient way to communicate services, information, and event updates to guests.
Maximizing upsell opportunities: As a hostel, Jo&Joe had many add-on services that they wanted to sell to guests, so integrating additional services like towels, padlocks, breakfast, and more into the guest journey was critical for them.
