Hotel Reception Kiosk — Automation That Saves 70% of Staff Costs
Receptionists are one of the biggest cost items for hotels and boarding houses — salaries, benefits, shifts, vacations. The GermanPro hotel reception kiosk solves these problems with a single investment that pays back in 12-18 months.
What Does a Hotel Kiosk Do?
- Automatic guest check-in 24/7
- Identity verification (passport scanning, identity cards)
- Payment by card and cash
- Automatic issuance of room card keys
- Information about the hotel, services, WiFi password
- Check-out without receptionist
- Multilingual support (Serbian, English, German, etc.)
Who is the Hotel Kiosk for?
- Hotels and guesthouses (3-60 rooms) — ideal size
- Apartments for rent (Airbnb, Booking.com)
- Hostels — automated check-in for groups
- Wellness and spa centers with accommodation
- Mountain homes and mountain resorts
