Not every guest is comfortable with new or unfamiliar technology. Handholding and helping the guest to use self service kiosks is a golden opportunity to welcome the guest and make them feel at home in the hotel and with self check-in routines.

employees that have not been trained on the use and reasons behind self service techology introduction may fear the its use and resist the step forward. Communicating how the technology will augment the work of team members and assist in driving new guests to the hotel.
Self-serve systems require investments in technology and time. When structured well and staff trained and deployment for maximum guest take-up is put in place, the pay back is considerable. Avoiding the training, deployment and using “low-cost” software and hardware will only convince that the technology does not produce a great ROI
