Sound familiar?

Between check-ins, emails and calls, the guest comes up short.

The phone rings constantly. Emails pile up. Your team is overwhelmed and recruitment drags on. Every sick day, every holiday becomes a challenge.

The cost of waiting

Every month without a virtual reception costs you.

While you weigh it up, the costs keep running – unanswered calls, unanswered emails, your team's overtime. Here's an honest reckoning of what inaction costs every month.

Ø 8 hrs

Email response time – guests book elsewhere long since

0/7

Nights without reception cover – emergencies go unanswered

≠ 0

Every unanswered call is a lost guest – the question isn't if, but how many

Every night without reception is a risk – for guests and your reputation.

Keep paying every month – or act now?

Pricing & model

What does Reception Remote cost?

Honest, transparent prices – a one-time onboarding fee depending on the size of your operation, then a fixed monthly rate per room. So you plan safely and see your savings in black and white.

Limited new-customer offer

14 days free to test – no risk

We're convinced of our service. That's why we take the risk: for 14 days we handle your guest communication around the clock – completely free. You see for yourself and decide afterwards. For new customers planning a long-term partnership with more than 20 rooms or apartments.

Fixed price per room

A transparent monthly rate per room – no variable costs, no surprises.

One-time onboarding fee

Setup, PMS connection and team training are included in the one-time fee depending on the size of your operation.

Flexible booking

Monthly or daily rates, short notice – you only pay when you need us.

60–80% less than own staff

A full-time position quickly costs EUR 60,000+ a year. Reception Remote covers the same area for a fraction.

From the guest's perspective

Your guest notices no difference.

Many hoteliers' biggest worry: will my guest notice they're not speaking to the hotel? No. We act under your name, with your local number and your style.

Local phone number

Your guest calls a number in your region – not a call centre abroad.

In your name

We answer with your property's name and know your processes, rates and house rules.

Seamless handover

For on-site matters we pass immediately to your team – the guest notices no break.

Same guest standard

We adopt your quality standards and tone – as if we were on site.

Emergencies & escalation

What happens at 3 a.m.?

Burst pipe, angry guest, medical emergency – even outside business hours you're never alone. Our escalation process is clearly defined.

01

Take the call

Our team answers every call 24/7 immediately – in 12 languages.

02

Categorise

We distinguish immediately: routine matter, urgent problem or real emergency.

03

Escalate

In emergencies we call the on-duty manager, housekeeping or technician directly – within minutes.

04

Document

Every incident is documented in your PMS. You receive a morning report if needed.

You define in advance who is contacted for which incident – you keep control.

Security & data protection

Your guest data stays in Europe.

You entrust guest communication to us – that requires trust. We process all data GDPR-compliant, with a data processing agreement (DPA) and Swiss hosting. Your guest communication stays as protected as in your own property.

GDPR-compliant

Full compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation – including a data processing agreement (DPA).

Hosting in Switzerland

Data processing in Swiss data centres with a high data protection standard – no cloud risk outside Europe.

Encrypted communication

Phone, email and PMS connection run over encrypted channels – even outside business hours.

Access for your team only

You decide who gets access. Every access is logged and traceable.

AI & Human

AI yes — the human takes over.

For us, artificial intelligence is never an end in itself – it's a tool. It sorts, prioritises and relieves. But the final decision and every answer to your guest always comes from a human – a trained receptionist from the hospitality industry. This is how we combine the speed of AI with the empathy and instinct of real hosts.

What the AI takes on

Our AI-assisted ticketing system works in the background, making sure routine requests are answered lightning-fast and consistently – without your guest ever feeling they're talking to a robot.

  • Sorts and prioritises incoming requests by urgency
  • Suggests matching reply templates from your house manual
  • Answers standard questions on rates, check-in times and amenities in seconds
  • Instantly recognises when a request is too complex for automation

Where the human takes over

As soon as anything is uncertain, a guest is unhappy or a special request comes in, our receptionist takes over personally. The AI hands off seamlessly – the guest notices no break.

  • Every final answer comes from a human – in your name and with your style
  • Escalations and emergencies are handled personally and with empathy
  • Complex booking matters, complaints and guest wishes stay in human hands
  • The AI knows when it doesn't know – and immediately brings in a person

Your guest always speaks to a human – the AI only works where it truly helps: in the background, fast and unobtrusively.
