WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

It's a busy Friday. The queue is four deep, a two-star review just landed on your phone, and the front-of-house agent training on shift is fumbling the same greeting script for the third time today.

Carefully refined by hospitality professionals in boutique hotels and international hotel groups.

HOW THIS WORKS

You do not need to know anything about AI

If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can do this.

1

Open a free AI app

ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini. On your phone or your computer. The free version is enough. You do not need to pay anyone but us.

2

Copy one of our prompts and paste it in

A prompt is just a set of instructions, already written for you. Change the bits in brackets to your own rooms, names and times.

3

Read what comes back and use it

It takes seconds. Change anything you do not like, print it, or send it to your team.

There is nothing to install. Nothing to set up. Nothing to connect to your booking system.

WHAT THE PAPERWORK IS COSTING YOU NOW

26% of hotel operators rank front-of-house roles among the hardest to keep staffed, just behind housekeeping (AHLA/Hireology, 2025).

Operating costs grew roughly twice as fast as revenue across the industry last year, and front desk absorbs a lot of that pressure as the property's first and last point of contact (CBRE, 2025).

And every unanswered review, every re-typed wifi instruction, is admin standing between your team and the guest actually in front of them.

WORK OUT WHAT IT COSTS YOU A YEAR

£10,220

A YEAR, JUST ON LISTS, ROTAS AND PAPERWORK

THAT IS £256 PER ROOM, PER YEAR, ACROSS 40 ROOMS.

HOW YOUR FIRST WEEK GOES

You finally have a plan.

Read the playbook and run the first prompt, the Twelve Questions. Paste in your most common guest questions, however messy, and build your reply library.

Tomorrow

You can see it working.

Use the Real-Time Guest Reply prompt on the next few guest messages that land. Compare the tone and speed against your usual typing.

Friday

Run Five-Star Replies on this week's reviews, and show whoever needs convincing how much faster the desk moved.

WHAT THE PROMPTS DO FOR YOU

Ten jobs that stop eating your week.

These are ten of the prompts. The time savings are our own estimates, from using them in our own properties. They are not from an independent study, and your house may be quicker or slower.

TRY ONE FOR FREE

Here is a free prompt. Use it on tonight’s work.

TRY IT FREE

Here are the questions our guests ask most often, with our current answers in whatever form they exist [paste: notes, old emails, or just describe them in your own words]. Rewrite each as a warm reply under 60 words, in our voice: friendly, plain, no corporate phrases like 'we apologise for any inconvenience'. Then give me each one in three versions: pre-arrival email, WhatsApp/SMS, and OTA message. Lay it out so I can save it as a reply library.

Host variant: swap "our current answers" for a rough voice note describing how you usually explain check-in and parking, and the same prompt builds a short-let's reply library from scratch.

Run it tonight before the next guest message lands. If it doesn't beat retyping the same answer from memory, you've lost twenty minutes. If it does, the other 27 prompts are £19.99.
