Praxisnahe Tipps aus dem Gastgeber‑Alltag
- Use three core templates: arrival, during-stay support, and checkout. Personalize only the greeting.
- Send a “quiet hours” confirmation at night to acknowledge receipt without committing to an answer.
- Pin your digital guide in the conversation header so guests can find Wi‑Fi and access info themselves.
- Track which questions repeat most and update your guide instead of adding new templates.

FAQ
How do I keep tone personal?+
Write short templates, add one personal line, and approve before sending. Avoid full auto-send.

Yes—keep ops separate so guests never see backstage notes.
What if a guest messages overnight?+
Send a short acknowledgment with timing for a full reply. Triage safety and lockouts first.
