Listed below are 5 ways to utilize hotel walkie-talkies at your hotel property.
Utilizing Radios For Safety And Security
Utilizing Radios For Maintenance Issues
It’s important for your maintenance crews to be connected at all times and reachable at a moment’s notice! The issue might be anything from an overflowing toilet in a guest room or a gas leak in the kitchen. No maintenance issue is too big or too small. Reliable hotel communications systems will keep maintenance personnel aware of any situations that might come up.
With headsets and other hands-free accessories, maintenance personnel are able to focus on the task at hand. In addition, the new extended-use batteries help guarantee that maintenance personnel stay connected even on those long, over-time shifts!
Utilizing Radios for Housekeeping and Guest Services
A guest calls the front desk asking for more towels in Room #720. Next, there is a call to pick up a breakfast tray outside Room #222. Then the guest in Room #1012 needs a blow-dryer delivered. It never stops! You must have efficiency in your housekeeping and guest services operations. Otherwise, you will need to employ the headcount of a small army!
Using hotel walkie-talkies can make housekeeping and guest services more efficient. This will help you maintain a smaller staff. You can contact housekeeping or guest service personnel and direct them to an immediate need near their current location.
Utilizing Radios In the Restaurant and Bar
A solid hotel communications system in your restaurant will vastly improve your guest’s dining experience. Some of the benefits of using hotel walkie-talkies in your hotel restaurant and bar include:
- Increase the Safety of Your Staff and Patrons
- Exceed Your Patron’s Service Expectations
- Lower the Noise Level in the Serving Area
- Quicker and More Efficient Operations
- Better Bottom Line
Utilizing hotel walkie-talkies in your hotel restaurant will increase the quality of your patron’s dining experience. And, because of more efficient operations, will improve your bottom line!
Utilizing Radios For Events and Entertainment
Trade shows, conferences, conventions, and concerts all involve many moving parts! Without clear, concise and CONSTANT contact, pulling off a major event in a smooth and orderly fashion is nearly impossible.
Utilizing hotel walkie-talkies for conventions, trade shows and conferences will assure that show services are well managed. Floor personnel will always be in touch with maintenance. Maintenance personnel are always in touch with security.
At concerts, it’s essential to have your team in constant contact. Stage lighting personnel are in touch with your audio personnel, your audio personnel are always in touch with the stage hands, and the security personnel are in touch with everyone! If each of the “moving parts” are not connected to the others, the event could be a disaster…Literally!
