Recurring guest questions
Check-in, Wi-Fi, breakfast, arrival and parking are answered manually across several channels.
Less pressure at reception
More time for guests
AlpenAgent connects phone, website and existing workflows into a dependable guest service. Recurring questions use approved knowledge, enquiries are captured completely and exceptional cases are handed to your team.

When service is busy, the same question still needs a clear answer
Not every enquiry needs lengthy advice. Every enquiry does need current information or a traceable handover. This is where avoidable reception workload accumulates.
Information crosses shifts
Booking changes, extra beds, late arrivals and callback requests need to reach the responsible team in full.
Language must not become a bottleneck
Guests phrase questions differently. Answers should remain understandable and grounded in the same approved knowledge.
Enquiries do not wait until morning
A prompt first response provides orientation without promising availability or a booking the system has not confirmed.
A calmer information flow instead of another hotel system
The assistant does not operate beside your hotel. Channels, knowledge, permissions and handover are fitted to existing workflows.
Questions are answered repeatedly, changes sit in individual inboxes or notes, and the previous context disappears between shifts.
Recurring questions use approved information. Enquiries are captured in a structured way and passed to the agreed destination with context.

From the first enquiry to a clean handover
Understand the request
The guest contacts you by phone, website or a connected channel. The assistant asks only for missing required details.
Check knowledge and rules
Only approved content and permitted actions shape the response. Prices, capacity and special cases remain tied to the relevant integration.
Answer or hand over
Clear questions receive a clear answer. Ambiguous, sensitive or individual cases reach your team with the previous conversation context.
After the stay
Feedback, callback requests and defined follow-up processes remain traceable and run only within the agreed scope.
What do recurring standard enquiries cost
This calculator is a transparent example. It multiplies enquiry volume, average handling time and internal hourly cost. The assumed 70 percent relief is illustrative, not a savings guarantee.
Internal effort per monthCHF 3'000
Illustratively reducible effortCHF 2'100
≈ 50 Reception hours per month
Questions to settle before a hotel pilot
Does the assistant book rooms independently?
Only when a verified integration and the agreed rules explicitly allow it. Otherwise it prepares a complete enquiry for your team.
Do we need to replace our PMS or booking system?
No. The Business Check first determines which existing systems and interfaces can sensibly remain in use.
What information may the assistant use?
Only approved sources such as current service pages, arrival information, documented workflows and reviewed FAQs. Ownership and updates are agreed first.
Can the guest service work in multiple languages?
Yes. German, French, Italian and English are supported. Additional languages and phrasing are assessed for the specific use case.
What happens with complaints or special cases?
The assistant does not make sensitive decisions. It gathers the relevant context and hands it to the responsible person.
How quickly can a pilot start?
A tightly scoped pilot can often be prepared in two to four weeks. Timing depends on data, channels, permissions and integrations.
Building blocks for your guest service
Start with ten real guest questions
Bring typical enquiries, your most important information sources and today’s handover path. In the Business Check we identify one bounded use case that can measurably reduce workload.
