Liverton

Hotel Guest Apps

Liverton's SmartStay Platform enhances the guest journey and in-room experience by offering unique digital check-in, that includes multiple upsell options including room selection (allowing the guest to choose their room) and package upsell allowing marketing to add packages, such as early check-in or late check-out or bar or restaurant offering. Once the guest checks-in, the Liverton system proceeds to take payment and preauthorization, issuing upsell offers, check the guest in via the PMS, and then issue a QR Code (for kiosk interfacing for key issuance), issue a Apple and Google Wallet Key, or provide a mobile key via App Clip or Mobile App. Once inside the property the platform converts into a digital compendium, guest request service, and in-room and venue based food and beverage ordering platform (via QR code). This system allows the guest to easily requests services (towel, ice to the room) and ordering food and drinks via a simple QR based menu that interfaces to the hotel loyalty system, PMS and POS platforms, allowing instant chargeback to room, and can be configured to work across multiple property chargeback to PMS, and allows for scheduling of orders, dynamic pricing of menu's, surcharge and tray charge options. Optional tipping can also be added into the platform.
