THE PROBLEM

Running WhatsApp from
someone's personal phone.

๐Ÿ”’

No shared access

Guest conversations live on one staff member's phone. When they're off shift, guests go unanswered. When they leave, history disappears.

โŒ

No quality control

You have no idea what's being said to your guests. Quality control is impossible. Guest experience is inconsistent.

โŒจ๏ธ

Everything typed manually

Every welcome message, booking link, and review request is typed out by hand, every single time. For every single guest.

"Our front desk manager left and took 6 months of guest conversations with her. We had no idea what had been promised to guests."

โ€” Lodge Manager, Kwena - Western Cape
