2019 is proving to be our busiest year for recruitment yet. Since March, no less than 10 new members of staff have joined Stampede across a variety of roles.



This growth is the beginning of big expansion plans for the company this year, which will inevitably include a new office space soon (but we&#8217;re staying in Leith!).



New team members include several Business Development team members, including an Enterprise Specialist; two new Support Team members; a new Customer Success and Marketing Manager and a new Head of Growth Marketing.



James, our COO said &#8220;It&#8217;s a really exciting time to join Stampede and the wider tech industry in Edinburgh. Our new recruits bring a wealth of experience from different industries, which really expands our capabilities and knowledge base as a whole.&#8221;



&#8220;We&#8217;ve hired tech-savvy high school leavers, people from the beer industry and from the motor trade &#8211; the range is awesome&#8221; James continued.

Team Update

So you’ve just signed up for Stampede. Congratulations! Now you’re collecting marketing data from all of the customers that visit your venue and use your WiFi. The problem is, now you’ve got all this valuable data collected and don’t quite know what to do with it. No worries, we’re here to help. Here are some tips that will help you increase conversion rates with the Stampede <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-set-up-your-first-email-campaign-guide-2019/">automated marketing feature</a>.







<h4 class="wp-block-heading">SMS vs Email</h4>



A common question that business owners have is ‘Shall I send out SMS texts or emails to my customers?’ and we have to admit &#8211; good question. 



Both methods are widely used by businesses around the globe and both methods work perfectly fine. The reason for the popularity of these marketing methods is easily justified with the fact that customers can be reached easily on their phone, as they are online and available 24/7. 



Whereas emails are more strongly associated with spam and obvious advertising, SMS texts are more personal and feel like a friend sending a message. That doesn&#8217;t necessarily make SMS superior to emails, as mails can include pictures or links.



In order to improve your marketing conversion rate and get the most out of the two methods, we recommend you to make use of them both, depending on the content you want to convey to your customers.



If you want to find out which of the two methods is more suitable for your business, click right here and have a look at our <a rel="noopener noreferrer" class="" href="http://get.stampede.ai/sms-vs-email-marketing-ebook" target="_blank">eBook.</a>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>





<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Schedules &amp; Timing</h4>



The first question we need to answer here is ‘How often should I reach out to my customers and send them promotional material?’ 



Studies revealed that 61% of interviewees preferred to receive <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/infographic-how-likely-are-people-to-act-on-promotions/">promotional material</a> at least once a month. Therefore, we’d recommend you to stick to that rule of thumb. Of course, it’s difficult to come up with a general rule for this, and we are convinced that you have a better understanding of your business, your customers and their expectations.



Another important aspect to consider is the local time of recipients. Try and schedule your campaigns depending on the local time of the people who are the ones reading your message. Nobody wants to be woken up in the middle of the night by a promotional text message.&nbsp;



Timing also comes into play when asking your customers to <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-power-of-reviews-and-recommendations/">leave reviews</a>. The best time to ask someone to leave a review is just after they’ve visited your business. Use the automated marketing feature of Stampede to send an email or SMS asking your customer for a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">review on TripAdvisor</a> or simply to remind them of the good time they had with you. 



Timing can be considered crucial to increase marketing conversion rates for your business.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Segmenting the list</h4>



Using the Stampede&nbsp;software will supply you with powerful customer insights in the form of data. And the best part of data gathering in Stampede is that it’s all automatic. 



We understand that you’re excited to make use of all this data, but remember that some content is more relevant for certain segments of your customer base. Therefore, we advise you to segment your customer list in order to send out specifically targeted messages. 



To give you a quick example, customers can be asked to choose their favourite sports in the splash screen when they login to your WiFi. Depending on which sporting event is coming up next, invite the Rugby/ Football/ Hockey fans to your pub to enjoy the match and a cold pint. As easy as that!



Segmenting a list and putting it to work, basically aims at approaching customers in the most personal manner. This personal approach can help your business improve marketing conversion rates. Remember &#8211; nobody wants to miss a message from an old friend. Also, the more personal you are in making the customer experience memorable, the greater the likelihood of them <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">coming back</a>.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Never stop testing</h4>



To improve your marketing conversion rates, it is important to keep track of how successful your campaigns are. 



Easily <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-marketing-power-of-wifi-analytics-for-your-business/">check your reports</a> on the Stampede dashboard and learn which campaigns are successful and which ones need improvement. Unfortunately, we can’t give you the perfect tailored message, as every customer group is unique and different. Therefore, we recommend you to send out different messages for each customer group and test them against each other. Some will fail, others will be successful- the important thing is that you try and take as much as you can from the reports and keep on testing and improving.



In case you want to grow your business with a smart Guest WiFi solution, you shouldn’t waste another day. Hit the link below and let us introduce you to an easy-to-use software that can make all the difference. Getting you the highest marketing conversion rates you have ever seen.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-get-prepped-for-reopening">Get Prepped For Reopening!</h4>



You’re probably well on with reopening preparation now that dates are in sight. One big part is meeting your customers’ changing needs, expectations and behaviour post-lockdown.



With that in mind, <a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/how-restaurants-are-bringing-tech-to-the-table-in-2021/594124/">digital tools and technology</a> can ensure a successful reopening by providing contactless and safe interactions with your customers.



Here’s our quick tech-checklist to get you ready to welcome your customers again:



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-technology-for-a-seamless-and-safe-service">Technology for a seamless and safe service</h4>



<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-technology-tools-to-help-hospitality-reopen-after-lockdown/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Technology for hospitality businesses </a>has evolved a lot over the past year. More and more businesses have digitalised parts of their operations:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Online ordering apps</li><li>Pay-at-table apps</li><li>Track and trace solutions</li><li>Digital and online menus</li><li>Digital loyalty and reward programs&nbsp;</li></ul>



One thing these apps all have in common is the need for an internet connection You can go a step further and offer your customers free and user-friendly Guest WiFi rather than just a simple WiFi connection.&nbsp;This creates a smoother customer experience, and happier customers who are more likely to come back.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-guest-wifi-to-enhance-your-digital-customer-experience">Guest WiFi to enhance your digital customer experience</h4>



The best Guest WiFi systems work with a one-off login and will automatically remember your customers when they make that return visit.&nbsp;



In addition, you can use your Guest WiFi to push customers directly to your apps on their phones, and also as part of your <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/making-track-and-trace-easier/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Track and Trace system.</a> No need for your customers to download or scan any QR codes. They simply need to connect to your WiFi to get registered, something they are well familiar with. Another tick for frictionless customer experience post-lockdown!



The secret superpower of Guest WiFi is that can also help you grow your customer database. This means you can contact more customers with news and promotions, to bring them back time and again. More contacts, more visits, more revenue. It&#8217;s that simple.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-keep-the-outdoor-connected">Keep the outdoor connected</h4>



For the first couple of weeks, all the focus is on our outdoor dining and drinking spaces. In many venues, this will be a new or larger-than-before space.



Therefore, reliable <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/keep-the-outdoor-connected/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">outdoor WiFi coverage</a> is a necessity to support all your different apps. Make sure to check for poor connectivity or blind spots in your (new) outdoor area. Without a stable connection, your customer’s (digital) experience will suffer and most likely influence their next dining choice.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-next">What’s next?&nbsp;</h4>



<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guest WiFi</a> contributes to a better customer experience, through safety, connectivity and ultimately &#8211; happiness.

All Hospitality Apps Need This One Thing To Work Well

Did you know <a href="https://blog.hootsuite.com/instagram-statistics/">Instagram has 1 billion users every month</a>? So if your restaurant isn’t activity using this platform, <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/must-have-marketing-methods-for-your-restaurant/">you’re missing out</a>! The good news is that food is one of the most featured categories on Instagram. Not only do people upload pictures of food they have made, but they also capture the food they have eaten at restaurants. This is an <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/rock-your-restaurant-with-wifi-and-instagram/">excellent marketing tool</a> for your business, especially if they tag your business and location so it can be found by others. So better get started with planning your food images for your Instagram account. 







Uploading images of your food onto Instagram is a great method of getting hungry crowds to flock to your restaurant. Like any marketing tool, however, it does take a bit of trial and error to get right. After all, this is not your personal page where likes and follows don’t matter &#8211; this is your business and you need your product to shine in order to turn a profit.



So, if you are looking to get your food onto Instagram, here are our top tips to make it a success. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Choose Your Dishes Carefully</h4>



No matter how well they are made, some cuisines just don’t photograph well. Curry and risotto being two notable examples that spring to mind.&nbsp;



But hold up &#8211; that doesn’t mean to say you can’t photograph these or any other less photogenic cuisine. In fact, curry <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/uk-most-instagrammed-food-avocado-curry-fish-chips-yorkshire-puddings-a8502531.html">is one of the most Instagrammed dishes</a> out there. It does, however, require some skills to make it look as appetising as possible. As a general rule, anything slopped on a plate with no attention given to the presentation isn’t going to win any new customers, no matter what it consists of.&nbsp;



Your food needs to look as if some thought has gone into it. If in doubt, don’t upload the picture on Instagram or re-take it at a different angle. The last thing you want it to upload a really off-putting food image onto your restaurants&#8217; official page.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lighting</h4>



Many restaurants use low lighting because it’s atmospheric. But, the trouble is it doesn’t make for the best outcome when taking photos of the food. Using flash is too harsh and can be distracting to other diners, so what’s the solution?



If you haven’t already invested in some professional lighting, you can pick up <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Selfie-Supplementary-Lighting-Enhancing-Smartphones/dp/B01E3NSBFA/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=phone+ring+light&amp;qid=1574674870&amp;sr=8-4">a ring light for as little as £5</a>. The right light can make all the difference in photography, and the same goes for food too. 



Another trick is to make use of natural lighting, by photographing food near a window. The best trick is to stand with your back to the window so that you are holding the camera the same direction in which the light is flooding in.



If possible avoid heavy yellow light which is quite artificial. It can give food an orange tint, and generally doesn’t bring out detail very well. While you can always use filters to enhance an image, getting the lighting right isn’t something you can really compromise on.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Consider Hiring A Professional</h4>



Granted, we’re not all Rankin’s in the making. If you or your team aren’t great at photography or perhaps don’t have the time during a busy service &#8211; <a href="https://www.tonyhphoto.com/blog/food-photographer-for-your-restaurant-marketing">it’s time to think about setting up a professional photoshoot</a>.&nbsp;



When the restaurant is closed or on a quiet day, book a photographer to capture your dishes. You will probably want to make at least 10-20 so that they can shoot a tonne of food images at once for your Instagram account. Another great idea is to have them also take images of the dishes being made in the kitchen, as this can make for some authentic behind the scenes shots.



The advantages of a professional taking care of your images is, that they will be shot in the right lighting, in super HD plus using the most flattering angles. You can then upload one at a time to Instagram, or use the images as backgrounds to Instagram Stories. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">It’s All In The Details</h4>



Plates that could have done with a clean up around the sides were sauce or gravy has run over. A burger that looks messy and isn’t stacked very well. Chips that are burnt. You get the picture here &#8211; <a href="https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/food-photography-basics/">your food needs to look appetising!</a>&nbsp;



Attention to detail really is key, so make sure your kitchen staff always present dishes to the best of their ability. When photographing food for marketing purposes, this couldn’t be any more important.



Well presented food communicates you care about what you do. Food that is badly presented and generally looks quite messy on the plate, signals to customers that little attention is given when making the food. It can be driving any customers without you even realising. 



Another tip is not to overload a plate with too much food. Although you might find it contradictory when you’re trying to make people hungry, sometimes less is more. If a plate has too much food then it can also make it difficult to style correctly when trying to take the right shot.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h4>



Instagram is an amazing platform to upload images of your food. You can take mouthwatering shots straight from the kitchen and have them seen by potential customers all over the globe. The best part is it’s simple to use as well as being completely free too!&nbsp;



What about taking this one step further and encouraging your customers to post their own images of your food on their social media accounts. Even better encouraging them to share it with family and friends whilst they&#8217;re still in your venue. All possible with our <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/">Guest WiFi solution</a>. Once your customers have signed into your WiFi, you can redirect them to one of your social media channels. Higher interaction guaranteed.

How to Take The Perfect Food Image for Instagram

You run a business and you like to think you know your customers &#8211; but do you really?

Sure, you probably know your audience demographic breakdowns and probably some of your peak times, but are you doing anything with this information other than plugging it into a spreadsheet and playing with pivot tables? (not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that &#8211; we love pivot tables).
<h3>Automatic WiFi Marketing to Your Customers</h3>
But instead of just letting that data sit in cells, here&#8217;s an example of how you could be using it to reach out to your customers.  How about sending an email or SMS message to your customers on their birthday, enticing them with a free drink or starter? Who could resist? And &#8211; since it&#8217;s a birthday &#8211; naturally they&#8217;ll be bringing along their friends as well. More people = more orders = more business for you.<img decoding="async" class="" style="width: 320px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" title="Stampede Marketing" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/wifi-marketing.jpg" alt="Stampede Marketing" width="320" data-constrained="true" />
Even better &#8211; what if all this was done automatically?
And &#8211; hold on &#8211; we&#8217;re not done yet &#8211; what about if you were then able to add your customers email to your marketing list (automatically, of course) so that you could continue to send them promotions and specials in the future.
<a href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing">All that marketing power</a> &#8211; and more &#8211; is ready and waiting for you just inside the Stampede Connect dashboard. And getting started with WiFi marketing in Stampede is even easier than you think.
<h3>WiFi Marketing with Stampede</h3>
Just take a look at this short video that shows you &#8211; in two minutes, believe it or not, how you can setup Stampede to automagically send your customers an SMS message the first time they connect.

Marketing automation on its own is powerful. However, when backed up with a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-create-a-hospitality-crm-strategy-that-drives-results">Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system</a> hospitality businesses can take their revenue and customer loyalty to the next level.



This clever tech pairing comes with significant opportunities to engage and retain customers, drive conversions and significantly boost profit margins.



In this blog post, we&#8217;ll explore what marketing automation fueled by a CRM system means and review some best practices as well as real-life examples.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-marketing-automation">What is marketing automation?</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-1-definition">1.1. Definition</h4>



Marketing automation is a tool for businesses to streamline their marketing efforts and effectively communicate with their customers using personalisation and targeted messaging.



The driver behind this automation is customer data, which is collected and stored in the CRM solution. Many <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing">CRMs</a> now include a marketing automation feature, allowing for easier campaign management and tracking.



Emails and SMS campaigns are sent out automatically using pre-defined triggers, such as specific customer characteristics or interactions.&nbsp;



Plus, automation saves staff a lot of time and also reduces the risk of human error.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-2-trigger-based-campaign-examples">1.2. Trigger-based campaign examples</h4>



Here are some trigger-based campaign examples hospitality venues should implement.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New newsletter subscribers &#8211; a simple welcome message drives engagement and encourages revisits.</li>



<li>Win-back lost customers &#8211; attract them back with a special deal.</li>



<li>Birthday surprise offer &#8211; shows that you value your customers and helps strengthen your relationship.</li>



<li>Online review booster &#8211; an automated post-visit review request email will keep guest feedback flowing.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



The required customer data for those campaigns can easily be extracted from the CRM through segmentation.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-key-reasons-to-implement-marketing-automation">4 key reasons to implement marketing automation</h2>



Marketing automation benefits hospitality businesses in a number of ways.



Firstly, it allows nurturing customers towards long-term loyalty through personalised and targeted content. Customers are more likely to feel valued and appreciated when the messages they receive resonate with their specific interests and needs.&nbsp;



Secondly, personalised emails have proven to be more relevant and therefore have a higher conversion rate. In fact, they have a <a href="https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/how-personalization-and-automation-can-supercharge-email-conversions/">2.5 times higher click-through rate</a> than a generic email.



Thirdly, marketing automation also provides businesses with additional sales and upsell opportunities based on historic customer interaction in-venue and online.



Finally, once the setup is complete, automated campaigns don’t require much work as they run automatically. This allows your team to focus on other areas of the business.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-best-practice-tips">Best practice tips</h2>



Marketing automation has become an increasingly important tool in the hospitality industry. However, to be truly effective, some best practices should be considered.&nbsp;



Firstly, input from various data sources through your CRM is crucial. By collating data from your tech tools, such as <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi">Guest Wifi</a>, <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/loyalty">loyalty scheme</a> and <a href="https://stampede.ai/get-bookings">table booking platform</a>, you can build a comprehensive customer profile.



Furthermore, to make the best use of the data, it&#8217;s important to segment it into distinct customer groups. To make it easier, use the pre-defined data segments provided by CRM solutions.



Finally, operators should regularly check their triggers to ensure their automation work effectively and that customers still receive relevant and timely communications.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-hospitality-operators-succeed-with-marketing-automation">How hospitality operators succeed with marketing automation</h2>



Here are some real-life examples from hospitality businesses that have used their CRM to automate their marketing processes.



<a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/bar-tonic">Bar Tonic</a> has seen astonishing results from their automated birthday emails, offering customers a martini on the house. So far, they’ve generated over £10,000 return visit ROI from it.&nbsp;



Another marketing automation usage example comes from the <a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/signature-pub-group">Signature Pub Group</a>. By automating their review request emails, they’ve managed to collect more than 12,000 reviews in a short period of time.



Marketing automation not only increases sales but is also a real time-saver. For example, <a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/birdhouse-london">Birdhouse London</a> is able to 2 hours per week since implementing it.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway</h2>



There is no doubt that marketing automation are an essential tool for any hospitality operator that wants to increase customer loyalty.



By laying down the foundation with a powerful CRM system and then leveraging it with personalised messages tailored to specific customer segments, they can make sure that their guests are engaged and keep coming back.&nbsp;

Increase Sales With Your CRM And Marketing Automation

Are you looking for ways to optimise your hospitality operations and make data-driven decisions that will grow your bottom line? If so, one of the most valuable tools to use for this is your CRM dashboard.



In this blog post, we&#8217;ll give tips on how to customise your CRM dashboard to make sure you get the most out of it.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-customise-your-crm-dashboard">How to customise your CRM dashboard</h2>



A well-tailored CRM dashboard can be a powerful tool for improving team productivity and accelerating growth.&nbsp;



To achieve this, start by mapping out what you need from your dashboard. What metrics are most important to your business? What information do you need at a glance?&nbsp;



Once you have a clear understanding of your requirements, get input from your team. What features or information do they find most helpful on a dashboard? This ensures that everyone&#8217;s needs are taken into account.&nbsp;



Finally, consider making use of templates to streamline the customisation process. Many <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/analytics">hospitality CRM platforms</a> come with pre-built dashboard templates that can be modified to fit your specific needs.&nbsp;



Taking time to customise your CRM dashboard can save you time in the long run and help ensure that you&#8217;re making data-driven decisions.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-set-up-personalised-goals">Set up personalised goals</h2>



It&#8217;s important to have a CRM dashboard that&#8217;s built around your specific needs in order to meet your sales and marketing goals.



By tailoring your goals to correspond with the metrics that are most significant to your business, you can quickly gauge your current situation.&nbsp;



For example, hospitality marketers want to focus on metrics such as tracking return in-venue visits, repeat bookings or marketing return on investment (ROI).



Make sure to limit your key performance indicators (KPIs) to the most important ones only. This way, you&#8217;ll be able to get an instant picture of your current situation and take the necessary steps to achieve your overall goals.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-make-your-dashboard-user-friendly">Make your dashboard user-friendly</h2>



The importance of a user-friendly CRM dashboard cannot be emphasised enough. It plays a crucial role in keeping your business operations running smoothly.&nbsp;



Imagine having to spend precious time trying to decipher complex data instead of using it to make informed decisions. This is where visuals and design come in.&nbsp;



Mix up the visuals and use different graphs. This helps you create a customised CRM dashboard that is not only easy to understand but also visually appealing. In just one glance, you should be able to analyse the data and extract the relevant insights.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-gain-actionable-insights-from-your-crm-dashboard">Gain actionable insights from your CRM dashboard</h2>



Maximising the value of your hospitality CRM dashboard requires more than just accumulating data.



With selected filters applied to your reports, you can compare the performance of different metrics and KPIs side-by-side. This provides you with insights that guide your sales and marketing strategies moving forward.&nbsp;



You can, for example, compare data between your venues over a given time period to understand exactly how each location is performing and adjust your tactics accordingly.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>



Getting the most out of a CRM dashboard is key to success and should be part of your overall <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-create-a-hospitality-crm-strategy-that-drives-results">CRM strategy</a>. Don&#8217;t settle for surface-level data, dive deeper with your dashboard to turn raw data into real results by customising your CRM.



From customising it to your individual needs, setting personalised goals, and ensuring that it is user-friendly. Taking these steps can help you gain actionable insights and make informed decisions.&nbsp;



You should always ensure that the CRM dashboard is constantly evolving with your business changes. This will ensure you are maximising output and have an ever-evolving game plan that yields tangible results.

How To Build A Customisable Hospitality CRM Dashboard

This article was written by Tom Saxon. Tom is the co-founder of <a href="https://www.batchcoffee.co.uk/">Batch Coffee</a>. He has been working in the speciality coffee industry for over 10 years throughout the world and in many parts of the supply chain.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



I personally love working in the hospitality industry and can’t encourage people enough to consider a career. The workforce is typically young and energetic which coupled with constantly making customers happy is why working in hospitality is a fulfilling and rewarding career. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Working In Hospitality &#8211; The Coffee Shop Industry</h4>



My day does start early as you’d expect in the coffee industry. The 6 am alarm is always met shortly afterwards with a delicious coffee though &#8211; one of the many perks of working with <a href="https://www.batchcoffee.co.uk/stories/best-speciality-coffee-beans-uk">speciality coffee beans</a>.



Opening up the roastery and cafe takes about 30 minutes. It involves dialling in coffee machines and preparing for customers. As they arrive each one is met with a small conversation &#8211; especially the regulars whom I would now class as friends.&nbsp;



The morning rush comes and goes quickly and I always feel pumped afterwards. The coffee industry is great as people are so thankful for their morning coffee and especially customers who dine in, their energy after they are fully caffeinated is contagious.



My responsibilities; first and foremost customer service. It&#8217;s so important that our customers leave happy and hopefully in a better mood than when they entered. Making coffee and ensuring the place is clean and tidy, stock control and various small jobs like checking the toilets every hour or so make up the rest of the day.&nbsp;



The days are quick and finishing at 4 pm means that I still have an evening to do whatever I’d like.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-tech-makes-working-in-hospitality-easier">How Tech Makes Working In Hospitality Easier&nbsp;</h4>



Working in a busy coffee shop can be occasionally stressful, especially behind the coffee machine where there is a finite number of coffees one can make per minute contrary to the odd customer&#8217;s opinion.&nbsp;



Add to this the fact that you are customer-facing, so while the orders stack up and you’re frantically trying to pull 18 shots of espresso and split a litre of steamed milk into 6 different milk-based espresso drinks you have to keep a smile on your face and appear unphased.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">1. Ordering App</h5>



A really useful tool that has helped many <a href="https://baristaandco.com/">baristas</a> all over the world is an app where coffee can be ordered before a customer arrives in the coffee shop.&nbsp;



This means that the transaction takes place on the customer&#8217;s phone so there is no waiting in line and there is no time wasted serving the customer. This completely streamlines the process of ordering the coffee for the customer and the barista can immediately add the order to the queue.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">2. Customer Loyalty App</h5>



Another useful app that we use that involves the <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-paid-loyalty-scheme-that-works-a-treat/">customer&#8217;s experience is a loyalty app</a>. Stamp cards are now becoming a thing of the past, although they do work as a physical representation of how many coffees you have left before you receive a free one, the practicality of them from a barista&#8217;s point of view is a bit wasteful.&nbsp;



Today when customers place an order through their app they receive an e-stamp that can be visualised as a<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/bring-more-customers-back-with-a-loyalty-program/"> </a><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/bring-more-customers-back-with-a-loyalty-program/">loyalty card</a> on their phone. If the customer orders in the coffee shop they are able to scan a QR code that appears after the purchase on a screen facing outwards from the register which again adds another e-stamp to their virtual loyalty card.&nbsp;



This again streamlines a process that in reality saves only a matter of seconds per customer, but when looked at on a larger scale saves not only hours of staff time but crucially frees up a staff member during peak hours so the wait time is reduced which keeps current customers happy and entices new customers into the cafe.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">3. Staff Scheduling App</h5>



Technology is now used in all areas of hospitality and one of the most efficient pieces of technology from a manager&#8217;s point of view is a roster application.&nbsp;



Back in the day, weekly rosters would be stuck to the wall in the form of a piece of A4 paper with an excel style table where employees could read their shifts and see when their colleagues were also working.&nbsp;



Albeit a physical representation, it was also messy as by the end of the first day the roster was published it had already been annotated with shift swaps.&nbsp;



Today, all of the shift organisation is completed via an app where managers can publish weekly rosters months in advance if they wish.&nbsp;



Colleagues can liaise directly through the app and request shift swaps with the authorisation of a manager needed and the new roster is then automatically updated. Staff can add holidays up to a year in advance so when the manager sits down to plan the roster they know exactly who is available for the forthcoming week.&nbsp;



The app usually has a singing-in system too, so gone are the days of more A4 prints on the wall or punch cards. Just tap start and finish at either end of the shift on the app which then records each staff member&#8217;s weekly hours.

Working In Hospitality: Harnessing The Efficiency Of Tech

Today we are launching our &#8220;Snap box&#8221;, a remotely managed device to provide the best in class captive portal solution. Using the latest standards outlined by Apple and Google utilizing the DCHP option 114 which enforced captive portal compliance and experience. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-why">The Why</h3>



Running a captive portal is a must-have for all physical businesses, why? because it will deliver up to 75% of your guest traffic.



Not only this but it also provides a seriously rich dataset which tells you how long someone is in your venue, when they arrived and when they leave. 



If you are running a hotel it can also tell you which room a guest is staying in&#8230; 



So if 75% of your business comes from this data source, why does it still feel like almost all captive portals still SUCK, and why does it feel like that&#8217;s getting worse?



Guest Wi-Fi can be so powerful there are now umpteen companies out there who will do you a deal on a captive portal solution. The issue here is building a decent captive portal is really hard &#8211; In 2021 I wrote a love letter to building the worlds best captive portal &#8211; <a href="https://patrickclover.medium.com/how-to-build-the-worlds-best-captive-portal-feee1654fa8b">read here</a>. 



Captive portals have a superpower but it comes with a weak point. They give any operator the ability to track any customer within 6m of the device, but this has opened up quite a serious privacy issue.



While most operators make little use of this it is entirely possible. The main reason people can&#8217;t utilize it is that this stream of data (by design) is not connected to anything else in a business. It might get exported/imported into other systems on mass but you couldn&#8217;t use the data to say &#8220;&#8230;as soon as someone leaves the building ping them a message.&#8221;



The barrier to entry for selling captive portals is very low (given the market, supply of engineers and increasing demand). But the barrier to entry for desired user experience is very high, and has gotten higher. And because of Apple / Google&#8217;s privacy concerns, they have begun locking down the triggering of these pop-up screens. Which in the worst case will leave your guests with a broken-looking screen&#8230;



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-enter-apple">Enter Apple</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-23594" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-1200x675.jpeg 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048-150x84.jpeg 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2048.jpeg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



Apple has decided to do its thing and enforce operating system changes to help alleviate the privacy and experience concerns.



Apple released this spec entitled <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=q78sq5rv">&#8220;How to modernize your captive network&#8221; </a>back in 2020! Ages ago, right? Welcome to innovation in this space. Later in the year, this proposal was picked up by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) &#8211; <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8910">read more</a>. It was then implemented in the <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/features/captive-portal">Release of Android 11</a>



This solution is truly the hallmark of <a href="https://www.apple.com/">Apple</a>. It can control when the popup should be seen, and how long the guest&#8217;s session should last and also has the ability to show the guest how much bandwidth they are allowed to consume &#8211; cool right?



Woohoo! A captive portal solution that is bulletproof, privacy first and guest experience-centric.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-implementation-problem">The Implementation Problem</h3>



The issue with the approach outlined by Apple is that it requires a robust network setup, including on-premise infrastructure. In practice, this means you will need.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Custom domains </li>



<li>DDNS support </li>



<li>Localized SSL certificates </li>



<li>A HTTP Server and web proxy</li>



<li>Content caching</li>



<li>DHCP with support Option 114</li>
</ul>



Apple wants the network owners i.e. hospitality operators to own the networking stack for this new standard to work.



The problem faced now is that very few operators will have the correct equipment on site to support these changes or few will.



And in true Apple fashion, it looks to be mandating this in a future release of iOS.



Your captive portals will ultimately become unstable when this happens, and you may have already noticed an increase in customer complaints and downtime as a result.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-oh-snap">Oh, Snap!</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay loop muted src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mikrotik-provisioning-steps.mp4"></video><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Snap re-provisioning from factory reset</figcaption></figure>



This month, we have launched a hardware line called Snap which solves this problem.



This line of hardware can be remotely provisioned in your Stampede dashboard. Out of the box it will ship with all the features needed to run a best in class experience and adhere to Apple&#8217;s beautiful captive portal solution.



For guests, this will mean we can serve much richer content (like videos) and deliver zero-second latency performance to local devices.



As we have been providing more functionality &#8220;on the floor&#8221; it has become obvious we need tighter control of what&#8217;s happening in the building. This device will automatically have its functionality extended over time to support a next-generation digital hospitality experience.



Imagine using a table booking system like Stampede that was accessing its information via a Snap box and then relaying that onto an iPad at the front-of-house. Or running promotions in real time to guests who were connected to the Wi-Fi&#8230; under the hood this device can be programmed/re-programmed to bring any Stampede service closer to the customer.



To recap, it has built-in redundancy, lower operating costs and performance that&#8217;d make your eyes POP. And I really mean that &#8211; when you experience response times measured in sub (ms) the guest experience is magic.



The Snap box is a powerhouse, it packs as much power as a desktop PC. Its job? To provide the best possible guest experience with no compromises and no cowboy funny business.



It is future-proofed and will end up being the central hub for all serious hospitality operators.



We are building up a network of Stampede Snap installation partners across the UK who will be able to perfectly implement this solution, with recruitment beginning in Mid-August.

Snap Box – Stampede Network Application

There’s nothing like waking up and knowing today is the day of the big event. You probably bought the tickets a few weeks (or even months) ago and the excitement has been building up. 

After all, it’s a wonderful thing to have something to look forward to, so don’t leave anyone out! From music lovers attending their favourite gigs, to sports enthusiasts who want to support their favourite clubs &#8211; everyone is going to have something to post to the internet while they’re out catching the action!
The buzz around big events is probably older than we know, as there were stadiums in basically every culture throughout the last thousands of years. Just look at all the ancient <a href="http://blog.turkeyvision.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/aphrodisias-teoman-cimit.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Greek or Roman stadiums</a> and arenas &#8211; all of those were built with the purpose to gather and entertain the masses.
Although the concept of stadiums has stayed the same throughout the ages, the way we participate in these events has changed. Long story short, the digital revolution happened. Long story long, there are a thousand ways to participate in such events without even being there physically; videos of your favourite concerts can be ordered online, sport events can be watched via live stream and your friends can video call you from that festival you weren’t able to go to. Something else has changed, too: people are now able to share their experiences instantaneously. With a variety of new channels, like Social Media, event visitors are now able to broadcast their passion and excitement to all their friends and fellow fans.
<h3>How do I improve the experience of my customers?</h3>
In order to provide today’s event goers with a good experience in a stadium, an opportunity for them to share their experience must be provided. You&#8217;re going to need  a <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">proper Guest WiFi Solution</a> for all the spectators. Every passionate visitor should have the possibility to share the thrill of the event online, and it’s one of the core amenities stadiums have to provide for today.
Offering WiFi is crucial today and Stampede is here to make sure you get the most out of your Guest Network.
Invite visitors to connect to the Internet through a beautiful splash screen that fits the ambience of the venue, or personalise it for a certain event. While gathering bits of visitor data, you provide them with a safe connection &#8211; no password needed! 
Depending on the kind of customer data you aim to collect, different conclusions can be drawn. For example, the average time of a connection suggests how much time people spend wandering around an event. Another great example is learning about where visitors come from, as it can help to geographically target marketing for the next event better.
<h3>Let the fans spread the Love </h3>
Letting fans share content whilst they’re in the stadium is one of the best ways to promote the venue itself and put it on the map. All content posted on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat is directly linked to the location and is some of the best advertising you could ask for. This is also true for all the sponsored brands that are present in the stadium, all of them are directly being broadcast to a wide range of fans and followers.
Another great feature of Stampede to connect with visitors is <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marketing Automation</a>. Once spectators connect to the WiFi, they can receive information about the event itself, or snack &amp; drink offers via email or SMS, a fantastic way to increase the potential revenue of your venue. You can even go a step further and text them as they leave and thank them for joining the event. As you’re about to send them a text anyways, why not invite them to the next event straight away and maybe offer a little discount? As you see, the options that this feature provides are endless.

WiFi in Stadiums & Arenas

Are you thinking of opening a prohibition styled speakeasy serving custom-crafted cocktails flavoured with the latest Scottish gins? Or are you starting a pop-up cafe specialising in the latest trend? What about bucking all the hype serving up good old fashioned diner grub? No matter what type of food or drink you plan to serve your customers. There’s going to be one thing that your customers demand as soon as they enter your place: <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">WiFi</a>. 



As a matter of fact, a recent survey showed that the most <a href="https://pos.toasttab.com/blog/restaurant-management-statistics">important technology feature for customers is free WiFi</a>. It&#8217;s a vital part of their overall experience and can influence their decision to come back or not. 







In order to give your customers the best guest experience, you need to get everything right. Including your decor, your staff, your food and, yes, your WiFi. With that in mind, here are our top five tips on how to set up WiFi for your restaurant or pub.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-use-professional-wifi-equipment">Use Professional WiFi Equipment</h4>



You’ve poured your heart and soul into your new business. So are you going to let your customers sign in to the same crappy WiFi router that your internet company gives to pensioners downloading pictures of their grandkids? No. It’s time to put on your big boy pants and pay for a decent router. But buying the best doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;ll need to empty your bank account.



Our top <a href="https://stampede.ai/supported-hardware/">hardware recommendations</a> for seamless integration with Stampede include popular brands like:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>TP-Link</li><li>Ubiquiti UniFi</li><li>Cisco Meraki</li><li>D-Link</li></ul>



The <a href="https://www.netspotapp.com/blog/wifi-security/explaining-wifi-standards.html">standard that WiFi</a> uses for connections is called 802.11, appended with letters to reflect the WiFi generation. For example, when WiFi was first released to the public, way back when in 1999, it was known as 802.a. As of 2022, the most widely used standard is 802.11ax or WiFi 6, coming with an even greater data transfer speed. 



But don’t sit around waiting for the latest standard to come out before you purchase your equipment. Since WiFi devices are backwards compatible, you shouldn’t have to worry about getting outpaced by technology.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-place-go-mesh">Big Place? Go Mesh</h4>



If you&#8217;ve got a large pub or restaurant with lots of hidden nooks and crannies, then you&#8217;re going to want to go with a mesh network. The idea behind mesh networks is to provide all-around coverage for your pub or restaurant. Even better it eliminates any WiFi blind spots. A mesh network typically consists of a number of WiFi separate broadcast units. Usually, between two to four, that seamlessly integrate into one network. 



Hooking up mesh networks isn’t as difficult as it sounds. The router software usually takes care of the integration for you. Even though you may have up to 4 devices bouncing a signal around your business, customers only have to worry about connecting to a signal network. <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/test-centre/network-wifi/best-mesh-wi-fi-network-systems-3661110/">This article in Tech Advisor </a>is a quick read and gives you a nice overview on some of the best mesh routers out there.



Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://stampede.ai/resources/bar-tonic/">case study we did with Bar Tonic</a>, one of our customers who rely on a good WiFi signal due to their special location.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-setup-a-captive-portal">Setup a Captive Portal</h4>



Alright, so you’ve got your network all set up and broadcasting. You’re getting a great signal from every location in your place of business. Even in the most distant bathroom stall. Now all you need to do is write up your network password on all the walls so your customers can connect, right? WRONG. 



You’ve just spent some bucks paying for a professional WiFi network for your business. So why give it away for free? By using a software product like Stampede, you can set up what is known as a <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">Captive Portal</a>, to give your customers access to your shiny new WiFi network.



Here&#8217;s how it works: After a customer connects, they’re prompted to register for your network with their email address or using their social media account. Once they’ve verified their email, they’re logged in. No passwords to remember and no chalkboards on the wall. Just a much smoother customer WiFi experience.



The other cool part about a captive network is that it will <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/get-your-customers-to-login-once-keep-them-always-connected/">automatically re-connect your customer</a> next time they pay you a visit. No more logging in! And the best part &#8211; at least for your business? You now have your customer’s email address that (with their permission, of course) you can use for our next tip &#8211; automated marketing.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-use-automated-marketing">Use Automated Marketing</h4>



You’re providing free WiFi for your customers and, in return, you’re getting their data. So use it! When you have a customer login to your WiFi with Stampede, in addition to an email address, you can ask for other details on the <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/#portal">Captive Portal login screen</a>. Name, age, gender &#8211; anything you can think of. You can even add custom questions. This is a great place to ask your customer opinions about new menu items or specials you’re thinking about offering. And not to forget about the fact that you can customise the log-in screen to your own branding.



Once registered, you can import your customers&#8217; email into mailing list software like Mailchimp. Use software like Zapier to do thousands of different tasks, like importing emails into a Google Docs spreadsheet. 



Or, you can save time and have all your data conveniently in one place with <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/">Stampede Marketing</a>. Automated text or SMS messages are a great tool for <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/a-5-step-recipe-that-creates-profitable-personalised-marketing-part-1/">personalised marketing campaigns</a> to bring customers back. Want to reward <a href="https://stampede.ai/resources/8-tactics-to-increase-customer-spend/">loyal customers</a>? Send them a message with a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/new-stampede-marketing-feature-unique-voucher-codes/">voucher</a> for a dessert on their third visit. Haven&#8217;t seen a customer in a while and want to get them back? Drop &#8217;em a coupon for a free drink &#8211; who can resist that?



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-get-social">Get Social</h4>



So you’ve got an awesome WiFi network with a Cative Portal set up in your pub or restaurant and your customers are loving it. Now it’s time to spread the word! Put your Instagram, Facebook and TikTok handles EVERYWHERE &#8211; menus, the walls, even on your receipts. Encourage your customers to share their experience and, more importantly, their photos. 



Take it one step further and use automated marketing to gather customer feedback with ease. Reviews help you build trust and attract new customers. With <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/automations/#reviews">Stampede Reviews</a> you can send an automated message after your customers have left the venue and ask them to leave you a review and write about their experience.

5 Tips for Setting Up WiFi for Your Restaurant or Pub [Updated for 2022]

“As of 15 June, Europeans will be able to travel in the EU without roaming charges. It means that when travelling in the EU, consumers will be able to call, send SMS or surf on their mobile at the same price they pay at home.” – The European Commission

Gone are the days of dreading your phone bill after a week’s holiday of using 3G to try and navigate around an unknown country. Post-holiday blues were only intensified by a phenomenon called ‘bill shock’ &#8211; a phenomenon so sobering travelers would avoid their phones while on holiday.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/roam-not-roam.jpg" alt="roam-not-roam.jpg" width="700" height="312" />
‘Roam like at home’ means that calls, texts and data are all free in Europe, and as it automatically came into effect, customers didn’t even have to lift a finger to make sure they were signed up.
It is billed as an ‘end to all roaming charges’, but it’s actually not as simple as that. The small print in the EU rules states a ‘fair usage’ policy, meaning mobile phone companies can still charge extra fees for some users who have unlimited, or data generous, packages.
Here’s how some of the leading UK networks are limiting ‘free’ data roaming: 
<table style="border-color: #000000;" border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">HOW MUCH OF YOUR UK DATA CAN YOU USE WITH NO EXTRA CHARGES?</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">HOW MUCH EXTRA WILL YOU PAY OVER THIS LIMIT?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>EE</td>
<td>15GB</td>
<td>You’ll need to buy an add-on &#8211; 1GB to use over a week costs £6.99</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>O2</td>
<td>All &#8211; no fair usage limit</td>
<td>N/A</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>THREE</td>
<td>12GB for contract, data and SIM only. 9BG for PAYG users. </td>
<td>0.73p/MB</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>VODAFONE</td>
<td>All &#8211; no fair usage limit</td>
<td>N/A</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>GIFFGAFF</td>
<td>6GB is on an ‘always on’ package</td>
<td>0.73p/MB</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
There’s also a limit as to how many days you can access free data, with a maximum of 30 days at a time and 90 days per year.
Why does the ‘fair usage’ limit matter?
It’s important to remember that we use our devices differently while abroad, spending a lot more time checking maps, sharing experiences and photos with friends online and making video calls with loved ones. So it’s also really important to remember that your data allowance will run out extremely quickly. Plus, if you’re streaming or downloading content this will drain your allowance even faster.
The new law also only applies to EU citizens, meaning lots of people still need access to WiFi and are vulnerable to being charged extortionate fees. It’s also worth being mindful that Brexit brings a lot of uncertainty for free EU data roaming &#8211; as yet, no one knows what will happen.
So, what do we think about the new EU ‘free’ data roaming? 
Well, we’d say that when you can, rely on WiFi and turn off your data allowance. WiFi is usually faster, cheaper and also allows you to be more ‘data heavy’, making video calls and browsing online til your heart’s content.
EU data roaming is excellent as a backup and to check-in while on the move, but we’d suggest that sticking to WiFi where it is available is always best. When using WiFi you’ll be rest assured you’ve removed the risk of hefty fees and charges, taking away the worry from your holiday.
A quick point about security&#8230;
When using WiFi abroad, try to connect in places you visit, such as bars and restaurants, that have <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#security">password protected WiFi</a>. Not only will this keep your connection secure, but you’ll possibly receive <a href="/blog/press/guest-wifi-a-sales-marketing-tool">discounts and promotions</a> from the businesses your patronizing via text or email &#8211; who doesn’t love a discount on their next drink, or a free dessert with their meal?! 
If you are traveling round Europe, you’ll often be at risk of security problems. Rather than using a password protected home or work network, you’ll be using public WiFi or even worse, shared computers.
Anyone on the same network (which could be hundreds or even thousands of people) could grab your passwords, usernames, credit card numbers and browsing history &#8211; a VPN (Virtual Private Network) protects you from this.
VPNs also let you get around Internet filtering &#8211; sites you might not expect (such as Netflix, Facebook and the BBC) are blocked in certain countries. To get around this, you simply connect your VPN to a country that doesn’t block the site you’re after.

And if you&#8217;re running a business and looking to offer safe and secure WiFi to your patrons &#8211; no matter where they&#8217;re from &#8211; why not give Stampede a shot?

‘Roam Like at Home’…Really?

How to Set Up a Coworking Space in Your Coffee Shop

For decades, hospitality businesses have trusted in the power of human labour to keep their venues running. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises more efficient operations and better-personalised experiences for their customers.&nbsp;



But while AI has comes with huge benefits &#8211; from automating mundane tasks to better understanding customers’ needs &#8211; it also poses potential drawbacks.&nbsp;



Before you decide whether or not integrating AI into your hospitality operations is right for you, take some time to consider both the pros and cons we lay down in this blog article.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-ai-is-used-in-the-hospitality-industry">How AI is used in the hospitality industry</h2>



AI is being used in a variety of ways in the hospitality industry, from chatbots that assist with reservations to orders to automated systems that streamline check-in and check-out processes and marketing and sales automation.



It also comes with the ability to predict customer needs and preferences, which can help with recommendations, personalised service and upsell.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-advantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality">Key advantages of using AI in hospitality</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Increased operational efficiency and productivity</h4>



With AI, businesses are able to streamline their operational and administrative processes and automate tasks. This allows for a significant increase in productivity and better resource management.



Moreover, with less manual handling required, there is a reduced chance of human error. Especially when dealing with customer data or uploading and updating spreadsheets, which can be prone to mistakes.



Marketing teams can massively improve their efforts with AI. For example, use data insights to build defined customer segments. The foundation for email and SMS campaigns that really resonate with customers and drive them back to their venue.&nbsp;



With clever <a href="https://stampede.ai/downloads/hospitality-marketing-automation-playbook">campaign automation</a>, operators can additionally save valuable time and staff can focus on more crucial tasks.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Reduced costs</h4>



With the rise of AI, there are new opportunities for hospitality businesses to cut costs.



Routine and repetitive tasks can easily be automated, saving on labour costs. Besides, by implementing AI, operators can bypass ongoing staff shortages.



It also allows for more efficient and accurate decision-making backed by real data insights. So without relying on guesswork, operators can ultimately reduce unnecessary costs in the long run.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Improved customer experience</h4>



The key to retaining customers is to ensure that they have a memorable experience when interacting with your brand. This is where the use of AI comes in.&nbsp;



Businesses can create a much more personalised and tailored experience that is based on customers’ preferences and behaviours.



Moreover, AI can help to connect all of a customer&#8217;s interactions with a brand across various digital channels. This contributes towards a more unified and seamless online experience.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Better forecasting</h4>



In today&#8217;s fast-paced environment, having accurate and timely forecasts can mean the difference between success and failure.&nbsp;



AI has the ability to analyse vast amounts of customer data in a second and provide insights into revenue opportunities that may have otherwise been missed.&nbsp;



Perhaps even more importantly, AI can predict market trends, giving businesses an edge in their strategic planning. By leveraging the preciseness of forecasting, businesses can make smarter decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and ultimately, increase their bottom line.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-main-disadvantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality">Main disadvantages of using AI in hospitality</h2>



Although AI has the potential to take business operations to the next level, it comes with its share of disadvantages that should also be considered.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;1. Impersonal service</h4>



One major issue with AI is the loss of the human touch. Whether it&#8217;s automated customer service systems or self-checkout kiosks, these rather impersonal experiences can negatively affect customer satisfaction.



AI systems can never fully replace human intuition and judgement, which can also lead to errors and inaccuracies in service.&nbsp;



No doubt, the human element is vital to creating a warm and welcoming environment. It&#8217;s through genuine connections with staff that customers feel valued and it&#8217;s those connections that keep them coming back time and time again.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. System failure</h4>



Running a hospitality business is a complex task that requires a lot of moving parts to function well. The success of operations depends heavily on all of the systems working properly.



Unfortunately, when these systems fail, they can cause serious disruption to the entire operation. Rooms may be double-booked, orders may be lost or misplaced and customers may be left waiting for extended periods of time.



As a result, unsatisfied customers and negative reviews can quickly pile up, causing lasting damage to the business.&nbsp;



To mitigate the risk of system failure, it’s important for hospitality operators to have a plan in place in case their AI tool breaks down. By being proactive and prepared, they can ensure a seamless experience for their customers.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Technological limitations</h4>



The hospitality industry requires technology tools that cater to their particular needs. Customer interactions happen both online and offline. Generic AI tools might not align with their specific requirements and might therefore create more work than taking off the workload if not set up properly.



Even with the right technology tools to hand the various systems used need to interact and talk to each other. Without those <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-common-data-integration-flaws-in-hospitality-tech">integrations</a>, the data flow is disconnected and operators are not able to generate a single customer view.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. High implementation costs</h4>



The implementation of these tools often comes at a high cost, making them unaffordable for smaller venues. This situation has forced operators to carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding if it is worth investing in AI tools.&nbsp;



While AI can bring about significant returns, it may not be a worthwhile investment for all businesses. However, as technology continues to advance, we may see a rise in more cost-effective solutions that cater to a range of budgets.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-summary">Summary</h2>



In conclusion, there are pros and cons of using AI in the hospitality industry that should be taken into account.&nbsp;



Technology can be used to save money, increase efficiency, improve customer experience and enable more precise forecasting. However, many operators are still struggling with the lack of human element when it comes to dealing with customers and their needs.&nbsp;



Furthermore, technological limitations should not be disregarded as they might also cause certain problems when it comes to adapting AI to existing processes.&nbsp;



Finally, before making any investments in AI, operators should evaluate the costs associated with them as this could highly affect their financial situation.&nbsp;



All factors taken into consideration, applying AI technology correctly can prove extremely beneficial for restaurants and the hospitality industry in general.

WiFi Marketing: How to Connect with Your Customers

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to WiFi Jargon

<a href="https://www.2stepreviews.com/google-reviews-influence-your-seo-heres-how/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Customer reviews are the third most influential factor in Google’s local search algorithm</a>. In the world of Google, reviews are seen as customers’ online word-of-mouth. They give your business a credibility booster.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



As a result, you will get found more often through organic searches. All this will drive&nbsp;more traffic to your website&nbsp;and lead to more bookings.



Your star rating and Google’s own ranking are the two main factors that impact local search results.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rating-vs-ranking">Rating vs. Ranking</h5>



Your overall rating is simply the average of all your customers&#8217; star ratings.



The composition of the ranking on the other hand is a bit more complex. It is determined by the platform&#8217;s own algorithm which scores your business based on various factors.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Factors Influencing Your Google Reviews Ranking</h5>



There are a number of signals Google pays attention to when calculating your ranking.&nbsp;



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">1) Quantity</h6>



It’s no surprise that a&nbsp;high volume&nbsp;of reviews will help maintain your search results position.&nbsp;



Plus, the Google algorithm will&nbsp;pick up on certain keywords&nbsp;within the written parts. So your business will come up when potential customers search for those keywords. I.e. ‘Spanish tapas in Edinburgh’.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">2) Velocity</h6>



<a href="https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/#" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">50% of customers only pay attention to reviews from the last two weeks</a>. The same applies to Google. The more recent reviews on your profile, the stronger your ranking will get.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">3) Diversity</h6>



<a href="https://www.searchenginejournal.com/ranking-factors/local-citations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Citation signals</a>&nbsp;are important for Google as well. Get your company listed on various directories and make sure your reviews come from a mixture of sources. This could be other&nbsp;3rd party sides like Tripadvisor or Yelp.&nbsp;



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">4) Content</h6>



Google also gives credit to the actual content of your reviews, i.e. their quality. Do they provide value to the next reader?



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">5) Strong Star Rating</h6>



It goes without saying that the higher your overall score, the better your local ranking will be.&nbsp;



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">6) Reviews Management</h6>



The last factor is about how much you are interacting and engaging with your reviews.



Are you responding to both positive and negative reviews? Are you keeping your&nbsp;reviews page well-maintained&nbsp;and all business information updated?



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways</h5>



Here’s what you can do to influence your Google reviews ranking and push your local searches:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Ensure a steady flow of reviews &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/get-reviews/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">automate the requests</a>&nbsp;to save time</li><li>Keep on top of your reviews &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">respond to positive/negative</a>&nbsp;reviews in a timely manner</li><li>Encourage customers to leave longer reviews &#8211; reach out to loyal customers</li><li>Allow customers to review your business on various sites</li><li><a href="https://stampede.ai/reviews-calculator/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Use our calculator</a>&nbsp;to find out how many 5-star reviews you require to get the score you need</li></ul>

The Secret To Mastering Your Google Reviews

The Internet is a great place, full of valuable information, shared experiences and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXtC0jOVZNs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cute animal videos</a>. 

In 2018, more than 4 billion people are expected to make use of mankind’s greatest invention. Keeping this number in mind, the problems that can arise are obvious. The anonymity we all have on the Internet often times results in people behaving rudely and sharing their (sometimes very questionable) view on things. It’s easy to see why opinions clash with so many strange people meeting each other online.
In order to inspire a conversation about safety and respect online, especially for children and young people, today we&#8217;re celebrating <a href="https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Safer Internet Day</a>!
 The Internet is a free place, which means it can be wonderful and fascinating place, but it also means that it’s easy to encounter content that is sometimes not suitable for children and youngsters.
<h3>Create, Connect &amp; Share Respect</h3>
It’s a fact- children need to try everything- just think of the hand on the stove, a real classic. Their natural curiosity helps them to understand the world and make sense of their environment, but it can be dangerous, especially when we think about exploring the internet. The most basic example are videos from battle zones that we see in the news everyday (and this is still a rather mild example). The web reflects our human nature and, to be honest, it’s not always pretty. Guns, drugs and pornography (not even mentioning Trump’s hair here) is nothing a child should be able to find easily on the world wide web. If you don’t believe me what a weird place the internet can be, <a href="http://weirdorconfusing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">simply click here</a>.
Protecting youngsters from cruel and unsuitable content is only one aspect of the Safer Internet Approach. The other major topic that Safer Internet Day touches on is the way people communicate with each other and behave while online. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve encountered rude comments on YouTube or people insulting each other in a forum. One of the factors that enhance the questionable way some people treat each other is the anonymity we have on the Internet. Let’s take the Safer Internet Day as a reminder to act as role-models in the way we treat each other online (and even offline) and make the Internet even more beautiful.
Stampede supports Safer Internet Day and the idea of making the Internet a safer environment for children. That’s why one of the amazing <a class="" href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">security features</a> we offer is the web filter that helps businesses to be sure everyone can use Guest Wifi in the venue without having to worry about what might pop up on their browser. Let’s make sure we all create, connect &amp; share respect.

Introducing Quick Campaigns

At-home meal kit sales are still on a high, making it a valuable additional income source for many hospitality businesses. A success stories resulting from this trend has been featured in the news recently. The popular&nbsp;<a href="https://thehawksmoor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hawksmoor Restaurant</a>&nbsp;group reported that they are now&nbsp;gaining around £50,000 a week from their at-home kits&nbsp;with a total revenue of over £1m since launching at the end of 2020.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



But what makes them so successful? And&nbsp;what are the&nbsp;components needed to sell meal kits online? We had a look into the strategy behind Hawksmoor At Home and did a little breakdown of their promotions and e-commerce website.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-meal-kit-sales-promotions">Meal kit sales promotions</h4>



The first thing that stands out is that when you Google ‘Hawksmoor’, their At Home meal kit landing page is the first on the results page in the form of a&nbsp;Google Paid Ad. This streamlines the customer experience. Clickers will go&nbsp;straight to the e-commerce page&nbsp;instead of having to find their way there from Hawskmoor’s homepage.



The&nbsp;<a href="https://bettermarketing.pub/everything-you-need-to-know-about-googles-ad-extensions-40ad44b6d7a4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ad Extension</a>&nbsp;text tells you straight away what you can expect &#8211; ‘Award-winning steak’ which is delivered UK wide and is also backed-up by their gift card offers. All to draw in as much additional revenue as possible.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="592" src="https://stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-1024x592.png" alt="" class="wp-image-21221" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-1024x592.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-300x173.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-768x444.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-1536x888.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-1200x694.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-150x87.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c-592x342.png 592w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/fle_f39c723f9459ed98b0234dbcd8fe905c.png 1778w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="e-commerce-website">E-commerce website</h4>



Now, check out their dedicated&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://shop.thehawksmoor.com/cook-at-home-meal-kits/" target="_blank">At Home website</a>. It’s a great example of how a traditional e-commerce website can work for the hospitality industry and be adopted to sell meals online.



Overall the design is quite&nbsp;simple and easy to navigate&nbsp;through, based on building blocks presented in a column view. This makes it familiar for anyone who is used to shopping online, removes friction and increases conversions.



Let’s have a closer look at the individual elements:



<h6 class="wp-block-heading" id="filters">Filters</h6>



Customers can&nbsp;refine what they’re looking for&nbsp;based on different occasions and months.



Even though the filters are “restaurant specific”, there is no option to filter by courses or servings. This pushes customers to scroll down and browse through the options that Hawksmoor wants them to look through.&nbsp;Similar to a physical menu&nbsp;if you think about it.

 The website only uses&nbsp;high-quality imagery&nbsp;to capitalise on this need-to-scroll. This way, they can really emphasise on selling the premium restaurant at-home experience. No matter if you dine-in or do it yourself, you’ll still get the full Hawksmoor experience.



The food itself is presented in a&nbsp;social media friendly image style, showing the full meal. Again this is using familiarity to popular food marketing trends on social media, that are known to convert and engage people.

New Feature – Stampede Table Booking System

EnGenius Tech now a Stampede technology partner

Keeping track of your&nbsp;table reservations&nbsp;on an old-school booking sheet can be a daunting task, often prone to errors. Plus, taking bookings over the phone adds additional strain on your already busy staff.&nbsp;With an online table booking system, you can lift off some of the burdens whilst also&nbsp;increasing your operational efficiency, as well as&nbsp;customer satisfaction.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



However, there’s a wide range of booking systems on the market, choosing between them can be a challenge.

<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Tips &#8211; How To Master Essential Table Booking System Features</h5>



Calculate your&nbsp;average dining time&nbsp;per table to determine the right booking slot size.



Add some&nbsp;extra time to your slots&nbsp;to leave enough space in between each booking. This allows you to clear the table and get ready for the next customer.&nbsp;



Make sure to&nbsp;block larger online bookings&nbsp;(for events, parties, etc.) by setting a max. party size, i.e. &lt; 10 pax. And be sure to offer an alternative contact method for those that don’t fit the regular options.



Leave some tables free&nbsp;during peak times to allow for walk-ins and take them off your online bookings.



Start filling more tables with a table booking system that makes it easy for everyone.&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/get-bookings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get in touch</a>&nbsp;with our team to find out more about&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/get-bookings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stampede Bookings</a>.

Buyer’s Guide: 11 Key Features Your Table Booking System Needs

You&#8217;ve just returned to your property after letting it over a long holiday weekend. Checking around, it looks like everything is in the right place &#8211; garbage emptied, no spills on the cushions and your guests have even thoughtfully stripped the bed. The only problem is that they didn&#8217;t exactly take everything with them. They left something behind. Something that you&#8217;ll never be able to spot. Because it&#8217;s all digital. What your guests left behind is a trojan sitting on your Guest WiFi network in your Airbnb, silently gathering all the personal information that you&#8217;re sending out through the internet.







And it might take you months to find out. Sounds scary? <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/05/airbnb-wifi-security-threat-risk-travel" target="_blank">It&#8217;s totally possible</a>.



But don&#8217;t let that put you off from offering Guest WiFi to your Airbnb guests. Travellers love WiFi. So much so, in fact, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.tripping.com/industry/trends/most-important-vacation-rental-amenities-tripping" target="_blank">that guest WiFi is the number one amenity</a> that guests look for now when travelling.&nbsp;So you&#8217;re left with the question &#8211; how to offer <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/take-the-risk-out-of-guest-wifi/">safe and secure WiFi</a> to your Airbnb guests while keeping your home networks safe?



We&#8217;re more than happy to give you the answer &#8211; enter Stampede.



With Stampede, not only can you offer your guests WiFi, you can use collected customer data to run automated marketing campaigns enticing your Airbnb guests to come back. And safety? Because Stampede uses email addresses to authenticate users, you&#8217;ll have an instant, easy to access record of everyone who&#8217;s ever used your WiFi. All GDPR compliant. 



So how to get started? Couldn&#8217;t be easier. There&#8217;s a couple of options here. It depends on whether you have your own WiFi hardware (which may be the case for larger Airbnbs with multiple rooms) or not (most common for smaller Airbnbs).



Let&#8217;s take a look at how these two break down.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Own Hardware</h4>



If you&#8217;re running a larger Airbnb with multiple access points, you might already have the required hardware and don&#8217;t need anything else to get started. Currently, Stampede&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#integration" target="_blank">integrates with hardware</a> from leading WiFi manufacturers like UniFi, Open Mesh, IgniteNet, Cisco, MikroTik and more! 



In order to get going with awesome WiFi, simply sign up for a free trial,&nbsp;log in to your dashboard, adjust a few settings and you&#8217;re good to go!



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>





<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No Hardware</h4>



This is typically the case for smaller Airbnb&nbsp;owners. Most likely you have an apartment or house with a cable modem/WiFi router. You&#8217;ve got the password tacked up on the wall or, even worse, you&#8217;re still using the default password that came with the router. That&#8217;s bad &#8211; but we won&#8217;t be too angry. At least you&#8217;re taking a step in the right direction.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up Your Home Network</h4>



First of all, change the default password on your router. This is typically done through a web-based interface for your router, the web address of which came with your setup information or &#8211; in all likelihood &#8211; on a sticker on the bottom of the router. We&#8217;ll call this your Home Network.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up Your Guest Network</h4>



Here&#8217;s where the magic comes in. What you&#8217;ll need for this setup is a Guest WiFi router. This will set up a second WiFi network, entirely separate from your Home Network for use by your guests. And where can you get one of these routers? Glad you asked because we&#8217;ll be more than happy to provide you one. We&#8217;ve got routers in all shapes and sizes. Head over to our <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://signup.stampede.ai" target="_blank">contact page</a>, sign up for a free trial and one of our helpful tech support representatives will be in touch to ensure you get the exact right router for your Airbnb location.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Configuring Your Guest WiFi&nbsp;</h4>



Once you&#8217;ve got your WiFi router from us, the setup couldn&#8217;t be easier. Don&#8217;t believe us? Just take a look at this video.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<figure><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VhXYSfzX_8s" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



And that&#8217;s it! You&#8217;re good to go!



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Customising Your Guest WiFi&nbsp;</h4>



Whether you have your own hardware or a handy piece of equipment (and that spiffy sticker) you received from us, set up for both options is the same. Now it&#8217;s time to get creative! 



Login to your Stampede portal and, under the marketing section, you can upload your guest house logo (you&#8217;ve got one of those, right?), a picture of your location, or whatever comes to mind. This will be the screen that your guests see when logging in, so make it memorable and unique to your venue.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Gathering Data</h4>



Now comes the really cool part. You can have your Airbnb guests confirm their account in a couple of different ways.



Either by verifying with an email address or with a Facebook check-in. Both have their advantages. 



With a Facebook check-in, guests can gain access to the WiFi quickly, and you can then redirect them to your Facebook page where they can easily review and rate your venue and be seen by their friends. An easy word of mouth marketing victory! 



But if you want to get to know your customers a little better, you can ask questions like their name, age, gender, postcode as they register. Even better &#8211; we&#8217;re aware that in some countries you will need to get your guests&#8217; passport details, so in cases like this, you can just add a &#8220;Passport Number&#8221; field to your capture page. How&#8217;s that for efficiency?&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Automated Marketing Campaigns&nbsp;</h4>



Did we say that gathering data was the cool part? Ok yeah, it&#8217;s kinda cool but it&#8217;s not the REALLY cool part. 



No, what&#8217;s really neat is all the ways in which you can use this shiny <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-marketing-power-of-wifi-analytics-for-your-business/">new customer data</a>. Like how? Well, how about importing your guest email addresses into your newsletter email list? Or, even better, sending <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-marketing-with-wifi-benefits-your-business/">automated marketing messages</a>. 



Let&#8217;s say one of your previous Airbnb guests has a birthday coming up &#8211; send them an automated email or SMS message saying &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; and offer them a discount on their next stay. Did a guest drop out at the last minute and you&#8217;ve got an opening? Send an email or SMS blast to some of your best guests letting them know your place is available.



Did someone say video? Because we&#8217;ve got another video which gives you a quick walkthrough of how to get going with Marketing in Stampede.&nbsp;



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<figure><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uX-Vy3m0dcg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Don&#8217;t Forget the Reviews&nbsp;</h4>



We all know that customer reviews on Airbnb are important and are one of the first things that guests are going to see when considering your property. Good <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">reviews</a> can also push your site up in the Airbnb rankings. And bad reviews? Let&#8217;s put it this way &#8211; there&#8217;s an entire site called Airbnb hell <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.airbnbhell.com/airbnb-guest-stories/" target="_blank">filled with Airbnb horror stories</a>. 



So, while the experience is still fresh in your guests&#8217; mind, use the automated marketing feature in Stampede to send an email or SMS reminder to review your Airbnb. Even easier &#8211; <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/133-character-limit-the-shorter-the-better" target="_blank">include a link so they can leave a review right from their mobile</a>.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Awesome Airbnb Guest WiFi&nbsp;</h4>



See &#8211; that wasn&#8217;t all that hard now, was it? You can now rest easy knowing that you&#8217;re offering fast, safe and secure Guest WiFi to all your Airbnb guests. Even better, you&#8217;ll be able to automatically target them with promotions or specials enticing them back to your location.



Don&#8217;t keep your guests waiting!&nbsp;

Getting Started with Guest WiFi in your Venue Today

Since the introduction of the GDPR in May 2018, with its potential for <a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-law-enforcement-processing/penalties/">big fines</a>, it’s no surprise that hoteliers are wary of collecting and using customer data. Yet customer data is immensely powerful. It provides insights which allow your business to excel. Knowledge really is power. It is possible to legally and safely collect and use data in your hotel. You just need to know-how.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why do hotels want to collect guest data</h4>



The availability of guest data to hotel managers is invaluable. Collected, analysed and used in the right ways, hoteliers <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-marketing-power-of-wifi-analytics-for-your-business/">benefit from data</a> to:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Create a better and more customised service and experience for guests.</li><li>Identify their strengths and weaknesses and discover what their customers love and hate.</li><li>Manage seasonal supply and demand and improve occupancy rates.</li><li>Gain a competitive edge over competition.</li><li>Retarget sales.</li><li>Understand the needs of their customers such as check-in requirements or facilities required.</li><li>Generate personalised offers and time and location-based marketing.</li><li>Segmentation for marketing allowing differentiation.</li><li>Create agility with cross-sales and last-minute promotions.</li></ul>



In short, the right data is the key to successful marketing and in turn the secret to successful growth. You need to know and understand your guests. It’s customer data which makes that possible.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The useful customer data</h4>



Not all data is created equally. Some will be more important to you than others. Some of the most useful and valuable information to hotels, regarding their customers, includes:&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Contact details: e.g. email address or mobile number, so that you can send a promotional message during their stay or keep them updated with your newsletter.</li><li>Demographics: e.g. if they are parents, or their age so that you can provide them with the relevant information about their stay.</li><li>Reason for stay: e.g. business or pleasure, so that you customise their experience such as leaving them an anniversary gift to make them feel valued.</li><li>Social media connections: e.g. where they leave a review, or whether they like your hotel’s Facebook page so that you can reach out to your customers where they hang out.</li><li>Booking history: e.g. when do guests make a repeat visit and frequency? For example, if a guest routinely stays for a business trip every 2 months, then an offer is unlikely to change that, but personalised service will ensure they stay on a regular basis.</li><li>Booking preferences: e.g. how they booked, so that you can improve marketing through the right channels.</li><li>Guest preferences: e.g. more pillows or extra towels, so that you can ensure guest satisfaction.</li><li>Services and facilities used: e.g. business centre or spa, so that you can provide relevant incentives and cross-sales.</li><li>Loyalty program use: So that you can see where the money is spent and how they like to be rewarded.</li></ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">How can hotels collect guest data</h4>



Hotels aren’t strangers to collecting data. With the right Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools it is simply part of what you do. Indeed, within the EU, hotels are required to collect passport numbers to enable law enforcement agencies to run cross-checks.



But the sort of customer data we’re talking about here is slightly different. This is data that you would like, for your benefit. It’s data so that you can <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">understand your guests</a>. And with the collection of data comes risk. <a href="https://enterprise.verizon.com/resources/reports/dbir/">15%</a> of all data breaches which occurred in 2018 involved accommodation, making it the third most vulnerable industry.



For this reason, you should follow two basic rules:&nbsp;



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Only collect data if you actually intend to use it.</li><li>Only collect data when you have appropriate security measures in place.</li></ol>



This sounds simple, but without the right technological tools, it can quickly become a minefield. You need to know and remember everything from being transparent with your guests through to data subject access requests. It’s complicated.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The simplest solution</h4>



By far the easiest way to navigate the collection and use of guest data is to choose hotel-specific tools and software which enables you to navigate data protection legalities, safety and ethics without you having to give it a second thought.



This way you benefit from customer data but do so legally and safely.



Therefore, when choosing a vendor, always ask about the inbuilt data protection elements.



Why not give our Guest WiFi solution a try? The data you collect is fully GDPR compliant and it&#8217;s up to your customers if they want to stay connected with you. 



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>





<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



With the collected data, you are able to personalise your guests&#8217; experience. I.e. send out timely and targeted offers and gain insights into their customers and more. It’s proving to be an incredible boon to hotels, giving them the competitive edge by making it easy and straightforward to collect and use personal data.

How to Legally and Safely Collect and Use Customer Data in the Hotel Industry

Oh, the good ol&#8217; days. Do you remember how easier it was to know your customers&#8217; insight and out and what their buying behaviour and preferences were? 







With a notepad and pen, you could collect customers&#8217; data like name, nickname and the days they would visit your shop. Indeed, it was easy to remember that Burt &#8220;The Burtator&#8221; would come to buy potatoes every Wednesday and coffee every Sunday.



Yeah, he also prefered to pay by check.



Well… now it&#8217;s a lot harder. These days you have so many customers coming to your shop that you can&#8217;t possibly remember everyone, even if you write their names on the coffee cup.



What&#8217;s your name again? Sorry, what&#8217;s your preference, veggie burger or bacon cheeseburger? You want to pay by debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, Monzo, PayPal… coins?! 



What the heck?! You don&#8217;t even know where they found your business because surely they don&#8217;t live in the area. It&#8217;s chaos sometimes, but thank Thor, I don&#8217;t need to know all these people&#8217;s details, right?!



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Importance Of Capturing Data</h4>



Try again, cowboy. Yes, you do need to know all this information. With these, let&#8217;s use a buzzword here, &#8220;data points&#8220;, you are able to know and understand your customers. Just like in the ol&#8217; days. It&#8217;s all about getting more customer insights and make positive use of those.



When you understand your customers, you can craft a unique local experience. Make it personal, create a connection and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jillgriffin/2019/10/15/what-happens-when-your-customers-love-you/#7a84ff425eb7">they will love you</a>. That&#8217;s just the romantic part because you can also take advantages of the &#8216;boring&#8217; but profitable stuff, such as offline analytics, customer trends analysis and&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer" class="" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/articles/wifi-marketing-connect-customers" target="_blank">effective marketing campaigns</a>&nbsp;that boost your revenue.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What You Can Do With The Information</h4>



In addition, any little piece of information you capture can be used to improve your customers&#8217; in-house experience and help you create better, more personalised and relevant marketing campaigns. So the more customer insights the better!



Let&#8217;s start with the simplest of examples. <a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/articles/wifi-data-capture" target="_blank">You capture customers names.</a> Simple as that, just their name.



With that, you can greet your customers in a friendlier way. Which is nice, but you can also:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Increase your email click-through rate by an average of 14% and conversion by 10%</li><li><a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.monetate.com/blog/the-tipping-point-for-personalized-website-experiences/" target="_blank">Increase sales by more than 20%</a></li><li><a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://rewardstream.com/blog/45-examples-personalized-marketing-really-work/" target="_blank">Increase engagement 10x</a></li></ul>



Now, let&#8217;s go a bit further… you know not only their name but how many times the person has been in your venue this week. Time to increase <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">customer loyalty</a> by simply sending a SMS or email inviting them to come back.



For example: &#8220;Hi Carolina, thank you for visiting us this week. How about you bring a friend tomorrow and get 5% off as a thank you?&#8221;



How about you run a campaign to increase the number of people that find you on a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">review site</a>? Even easier! Send a message 10 minutes after they leave, with something along the lines of: &#8220;Hola Maurice, thank you for your visit. We truly hope you enjoyed your stay, could you please spread the word and review us on TripAdvisor?&#8221;



Boom! I bet you an American dollar that you will have the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/importance-of-online-reviews" target="_blank">number of reviews increased</a>.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Beauty Of Guest WiFi For Data Capturing</h4>



Do you offer free Guest WiFi? Come on, it&#8217;s a rhetorical question, of course, you do. Free and easy access to the Interwebs (Internet) is one of the three things all customers demand. (If not, check out our <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/">getting to started</a> guide now. Better later than never)



So, you ALREADY offer free Guest WiFi &#8211; then why not put it into use and make money with it? I&#8217;m not talking about charging for Internet access, as this could get your customers frustrated. (I&#8217;ve seen some dramatic reactions for paid Internet access &#8211; punch someone in the face kind of stuff).



I&#8217;m talking about capturing data to better know your customers, leading to more <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/good-adverts-bad-adverts" target="_blank">efficient marketing</a>, ending with more sales. I know you got it, but I&#8217;ll repeat for those people in the back row. It&#8217;s all about more customer insights.



Better yet, I&#8217;ll show it to you with an illustration:



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/Stampede-Blog-Cost_Rev@2x.png" alt="Stampede-Blog-Cost_Rev@2x"/></figure>



Why offer free WiFi if you’re not getting anything in return? Because, with a <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing" target="_blank">Guest WiFi analytics and marketing automation tool,</a> you are capturing data, improving your marketing AND generating revenue. I honestly can&#8217;t make this any simpler.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Get Them Logging In Once But Keep Capturing Their Data</h4>



&#8220;Oh wait, but I don&#8217;t want my customers to sit and spend their time on the Internet instead of appreciating and savouring my beautiful dishes.&#8221;



No problemo, amigo. What you need to do is, <a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/wifi-in-your-venue-login-once-login-forever" target="_blank">get them to login ONCE</a>. That&#8217;s all it takes. The reason is, they DO NOT have to use your Internet all the time (we also don&#8217;t want that, do we?). When they log in for the first time, they won&#8217;t need to login ever again (unless you want them to). Meaning… in their second, third, tenth, hundredth time they visit your venue, you will know they were there and they won&#8217;t even have to take their phones out of their pockets.



You&#8217;ll also know if they are new or returning visitors, how long they stayed at your venue and so on. If you&#8217;re a metrics and analytics fan, this is online analytics applied in real offline businesses. So, all the goodies of online marketing, easily and automatically applied to brick &amp; mortar, to real-life&#8230;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ideas To Get Your Customer Connected For The First Time</h4>



Right, so the software can do the heavy lifting, running in the background quietly and constantly learning about your customers. That&#8217;s fantastic, but we at Stampede believe and recommend you should inject this concept, this need to learn everything about your customer to improve services, in your business&#8217; DNA.



Just common sense. Knowing your customers insight-out means you can tweak your business to better serve them. How great is when a waiter greets you by name? Or when a concierge in a hotel knows exactly the newspaper you love to read and leaves it in your room? (Yep, print. I&#8217;m old school.)



It’s all about knowing your customer. I&#8217;ve repeated this sentence so many times for a reason. Get it in your head. 



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>





<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



Back to the topic, here are three ideas to get your customer connecting to your free WiFi so you can start capturing that sweet, sweet Data.



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Have visible stickers promoting your free Guest WiFi</li><li>Get your staff to mention it at least once to the customer <ul><li>&#8216;Good morning Dorothy, here is your corn dog, please enjoy our complimentary free WiFi and have a great day. Go Pigeons!&#8217;</li><li>&#8216;Hi Frederik, your order will be here in 5 minutes, please feel free to use our free Internet and leave us a review. We&#8217;d really appreciate it&#8217;</li><li>&#8216;Howdy Ross, the doctor will call you soon, meanwhile please feel free to access our free WiFi and enjoy your wait&#8217; </li></ul></li><li>Include an online menu, voucher or <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/infographic-how-likely-are-people-to-act-on-promotions/">promotion</a> on your website</li></ol>



Three basic and simple things, that will get you to capture data, know more about your customers, have offline analytics, improve and automate your marketing campaigns and of course… sell more!
