Guest Messaging

Today, many hotel guests prefer communicating via text messages versus phone calls or going to the front desk. Canary’s hotel software makes it extremely easy for hoteliers to provide this option using the property’s existing landline phone number. Guest Messaging also enables your front desk team to prioritize guest inquiries and save time through automated, broadcast and direct messages sent through a comprehensive dashboard. Guest Messaging is an integrated hotel technology solution that works with both SMS, WhatsApp, and dozens of other existing applications.

Digital Tipping

Digital Tipping

Good help is always hard to find, but it’s currently harder than ever in the hotel industry. However, retaining staff can be improved by increasing wages - and increasing tips can be a large part of the solution.. That’s why Canary designed its Digital Tipping solution to help hotel owners and operators boost employee pay by up to $3/hour and combat the staffing shortage!

ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY RESEARCH
•  Nearly 80% of hotel workers would be more likely to stay with their employer if tips were increased
• More than 70% of guests would have tipped more if Digital Tipping were an option
