Introduction to Core Touch Self Check-In Kiosk
NetSys Japan, a company dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions for accommodation facilities, has officially launched their latest innovation—the 'Core Touch' touch panel PC self check-in kiosk. Designed specifically for small-scale hotels, this space-saving and flexible kiosk aims to streamline the check-in process and alleviate the increasing workload on hotel staff. As the hospitality industry grapples with significant labor shortages, this solution presents an effective way to enhance operational efficiency while also improving the customer experience.
The Challenge of Staffing in the Hospitality Industry
In recent years, the hospitality sector has witnessed a concerning decline in available staffing, with both full-time and part-time employment falling short. A survey by Teikoku Databank highlights that over 50% of hotels and inns are experiencing shortages in personnel. This raises the pressing need for automation and other strategies aimed at reducing the operated number of staff.
Traditional self-check-in kiosks are often too large and expensive for small and newly-established hotels, posing a roadblock to their adoption. However, NetSys Japan has tackled this issue head-on, developing a compact version that allows for flexibility in functionality, facilitating the operational needs of various establishments.
Features Tailored for Small and Medium-Sized Facilities
1. Space-Efficient Design
The Core Touch kiosk is designed to fit comfortably within the limited space available at small hotel front desks. Eliminating bulky equipment, the kiosk is compact yet fully functional.
2. Flexible Peripheral Additions
This model allows for the integration of various peripherals such as multi-payment terminals, cash dispensers, and passport readers, enabling an easily configurable system tailored to specific operational needs. This support leads to a cost-effective installation process.
3. Durability and Maintenance
Built to ensure stability and ease of maintenance over the long term, the kiosk is designed with operational demands in mind, minimizing burdens on hotel staff post-installation.
Customizable Functionality
In addition to facilitating check-ins, the Core Touch kiosk allows for further customizations including in-house service reservations, issuing breakfast and meal tickets, promoting hotel services, and controlling facilities in conjunction with room keys.
For instance, one hotel utilizing the kiosk has noted efficiency improvements through the automatic issuance of meal tickets, eliminating the need for manual writing.
Application Scenarios and Benefits
The Core Touch kiosk is especially suited for hotels with 20 to 100 rooms, offering a means for small teams to implement self-check-in strategies and reduce reliance on front desk staff.
Furthermore, it operates smoothly in establishments where on-site payment is not necessary, making it an ideal solution for hotels that focus on pre-payments and cashless transactions. The system is also designed for cost-efficient implementation, allowing users to select only the required features, ensuring expenses remain minimal while facilitating the introduction of the kiosk.
The compact design allows it to be installed in even the most cramped front desk spaces without compromising on service quality.
