Touchpoints
Touchpoints track meaningful interactions between staff and guests. Every touchpoint you record builds a complete picture of each guest’s experience at your property.
Why Touchpoints Matter
Touchpoints create an audit trail of guest engagement that helps your team:- Recognize returning guests - See past interactions instantly when a guest returns
- Coordinate service - Know what colleagues have already discussed with a guest
- Improve handoffs - Give shift successors context on recent conversations
- Measure engagement - Track how actively your team connects with guests
What to Record
Log touchpoints for meaningful interactions, not routine transactions:Use your judgment. If an interaction reveals something about the guest or creates a memorable moment, it is worth recording.
Recording a Touchpoint

Open the guest profile
Search for the guest by name or navigate from their reservation.

Scroll to the Touchpoints card on the guest profile page.
3
Click Add New
Click the Add New button in the top right of the Touchpoints section.

Writing Effective Touchpoint Notes
- Good Examples
- Too Vague
- “Called to confirm spa appointment. Mentioned she prefers deep tissue massage and has a shoulder injury on the left side.”
- “Met at lobby bar for welcome drink. Traveling for their 25th anniversary, interested in private dining options.”
- “Assisted with restaurant recommendation. Booked 8pm at Ember Grill for party of 4, requested quiet table.”

Touchpoints and Reservations
When you create a touchpoint from a guest profile, it can optionally be linked to a specific reservation. This is helpful when:- The interaction relates to a particular stay
- You want to track engagement for a future booking
- Multiple reservations exist and context matters
Best Practices
Record Immediately
Log touchpoints right after the interaction while details are fresh. Waiting until end of shift means forgotten details.
Be Specific
Include names, times, and specifics. “Called at 3pm about spa” beats “Called about spa.”
Focus on the Guest
Note what matters for future service. Preferences, interests, and context are more valuable than what you said.
Credit Your Team
Include colleague names when relevant. “Transferred to John in Concierge for tour booking.”
