"We were hoping for 50% digital check-ins, but it ended up being 80%. It’s mind-blowing. Guests love communicating via WhatsApp, and it has added a personal touch to our services. Our staff is more engaged, as the platform has made daily tasks easier and more intuitive."
Christian Müller
Group Technology Manager @
"With Like Magic, it’s super intuitive for the guests. You get a message, you press the button, and then it shows you how it works. That’s super easy for us and the guests can communicate with us over the app. Now we have just two channels left, Like Magic and a live chat over our website. That’s super for us and easier for the guests."
