A hotel without a front desk. How self check-in works

Your guest arrives at night. And that's fine.

Step by step

1. The booking goes into the reception software, e.g. KW Hotel, which works with Space Lock locks.

2. At the hotel kiosk, the guest checks in, pays and collects a room card by themselves.

3. The guest opens the room with a card or PIN code, and with Space Lock MAX also with a QR code or their face.

What you gain

Less work at the front desk, check-in without queues and on-the-spot payments through a payment terminal and fiscal printer connected to the kiosk.

Card, PIN or face? How to choose the right way to open a door
Every door has a different story. A hotel room, an office and a storeroom each need something different.
