Using Analytics to Improve Service

1

Prepare for Repeat Guests

Before a returning guest arrives, review their profile to see preferences discovered during previous stays, past celebrations, and any previous hurdles. Reference their history to personalize their welcome.
2

Recognize Loyalty

Use the stay count to acknowledge returning guests. A simple “Welcome back for your 5th stay!” makes a significant impression.
3

Anticipate Celebrations

Filter guests by upcoming birthdays and anniversaries. Plan ahead for guests celebrating during their stay.
4

Learn from Hurdles

Review weekly hurdle reports to identify recurring issues. Use this data to address systemic problems before they affect more guests.
5

Track Team Performance

Monitor the “Week in Review” section to see which team members are actively capturing guest intelligence and creating memorable moments.
Guest analytics are only as good as the data captured. Encourage all team members to log nuggets, preferences, and observations to build comprehensive guest profiles over time.
