Help guests on the phone while your front desk helps guests in person

What happens when a guest calls?

Compare a late check-in enquiry with a guest reporting a room door that won't lock. Open each example to see what your team would receive when the call needs follow-up.

Guest arriving after check-in closes

"We're running late and won't get there until 11 pm. How do we check in?"

There247 asks: Which property are you staying at, and what is your booking reference?

Captures: Property, booking reference, expected arrival time and a callback number if the team needs to follow up.

Next step: Share the property's approved general arrival instructions. If the guest needs access details specific to their booking, pass the request to the duty team.

What your front desk receives

Example SMS

LATE ARRIVAL: Harbour property, booking DEMO-104. Guest expects to arrive at 11 pm and asks how to check in. Callback: 021 XXX XXXX.

Example email

Subject: Late arrival enquiry for booking DEMO-104

Enquiry: Guest at the Harbour property expects to arrive at 11 pm and asks how to check in. Callback: 021 XXX XXXX.

Follow-up: Check the booking and contact the guest with the appropriate late-arrival arrangements.

Example warm transfer

"Hi, this is Sofie from There247. I have a guest with booking reference DEMO-104 for the Harbour property. They expect to arrive at 11 pm and would like to know how to check in. Can I connect you now?"

Room door won't lock

"Our room door won't lock. Can someone help?"

There247 asks: Which property and room are you in? Can you secure the door at the moment?

Captures: Property, room number, issue as reported, whether the door can be secured and how to reach the guest.

Next step: Follow the hotel's escalation rules. Try a warm transfer to the duty manager and use the hotel's fallback route if the transfer is unavailable.

What your duty team receives

Example warm transfer

"Hi, this is Sofie from There247. I have a guest from room 214 at the Harbour property. They say their door won't lock and they can't secure it. Can I connect you now?"

Your hotel team confirms room availability, reservation changes, booking-specific access arrangements and how guest issues are resolved.
