For hotels and hotel groups

Less friction.
Better stays.

Make it easy for guests to book, buy, ask and act. Less pressure on the front desk.

We shape, connect and manage the messages, pages, payments and AI that help guests get things done, on whichever channel suits them. Behind the desk, we automate the jobs your team still does by hand. All of it is built around your hotel's systems and SOPs, with less work landing on the front desk.

Show us where guests get stuck. Nothing to prepare.

Your hotel already has its own way of working

We build around it.

We start with how your hotel operates today: its services, systems, teams and SOPs. This is how eight everyday guest actions work at most hotels right now.

01 Tell you about their stay

Guest friction

Nobody asks why they're coming, so the anniversary or the allergy only comes up at check-in.

Team friction

What the guest does share lands in an inbox or a booking note, not with the team on shift.

02 Ask a question

Guest friction

They want to know about parking or the dog at 11pm. The answer is buried on the website, and nobody's on the phone.

Team friction

Reception answers the same questions about parking, dogs and the WiFi all day, by phone and email, while the guest at the desk waits.

03 Add to their stay

Guest friction

The right offer never reaches the right guest at the right time, whether it's a room upgrade, champagne, a table or the spa.

Team friction

The team has no time to ring round, guests don't pick up the phone, and staff aren't trained to sell.

04 Check in

Guest friction

They queue at four to fill in a registration card with details they gave when they booked.

Team friction

The desk re-types what the booking already holds, with a queue behind.

05 Make a request

Guest friction

Towels, a taxi, a fix for the aircon: the guest has to ring reception and hope someone picks up.

Team friction

Reception becomes the switchboard between the guest and housekeeping, maintenance and the restaurant.

06 Resolve a problem

Guest friction

The guest puts off reporting the issue because contacting reception takes effort.

Team friction

The team hears about it at checkout, when it is too late to recover the stay.

07 Check out

Guest friction

The guest waits at reception to settle their bill and request an invoice.

Team friction

Reception handles admin that could have been completed before the guest reached the desk.

08 Book again

Guest friction

The guest rebooks through the OTA app, because that's where their last booking lives.

Team friction

The hotel pays commission a second time on a guest it already won.

These are examples, not a checklist. We map the complete guest journey against your SOPs to identify where guests lose momentum, where pressure builds on staff and where revenue opportunities are being missed.

One example of what changes

Why they are coming, and when. On the team's briefing sheet by morning.

Technology where it is right. Paper where it is better. The guest answers in a conversation, and the team reads it on the sheet they already pick up at the start of the shift.

What we build, at every stage of the stay.

These are the pieces most hotels start with. We build many more around each hotel's own SOPs, each one delivered through the right channel and connected to the hotel's existing systems.

An open suitcase on a bed at home, a phone beside it Ask

Pre-arrival welcome

A message from the hotel a few days out, in the guest's own channel, that opens a conversation rather than a to-do list.

See pre-arrival

Occasion capture

We ask what brings the guest before they arrive, so the team can prepare and make them feel genuinely seen.

The right channel for the right job

Email is not the problem.

Email is ideal for confirmations, receipts, itineraries and transactions the guest may need to find again. WhatsApp is stronger for conversations that need attention and a response. Structured forms collect information properly, while dedicated web pages give guests space to explore and choose.

A single journey may use several of them: WhatsApp starts the conversation, a form or page completes the action, and email provides the record. Each channel is chosen for what it does best.

Easier doesn't mean more technology. Guests shouldn't need an app to book a table, and they don't always need a form. If one reply will do, we ask in the conversation. We only add a step when it makes the action easier.

Your SOPs come first

Four questions we answer before we build anything.

The same guest request is handled differently at every hotel. So we ask these first.

Who owns the request?

Dining may go directly to the restaurant. A room issue may go to housekeeping, maintenance or reception. We follow your routing rules.

What happens next?

Approvals, availability checks, internal notifications and follow-ups are built around your existing procedure.

Where does the information sit?

If the answer is already in your PMS, booking system or CRM, we retrieve it from there.

When should the team step in?

Routine actions can be automated. Exceptions, sensitive requests and high-value guests reach the right person.

Your team looks after the guest. We look after the rest.

Nine things have to happen for a guest journey to run. Eight of them are ours.

Your team gets one inbox, on desktop and phone, with no settings to fiddle with, and nothing breaks when staff change.

We shape it. We build it. We run it.

01

Find the friction

We start with a call with the GM and the team on shift. We look for where guests wait or have to ask twice, and where staff feel the pressure: the same questions every day, the guests they chase for details, the notes that never reach the next shift.

02

Shape what guests and staff see

That includes the messages, set in the hotel's own voice and shaped for where they land: conversational on WhatsApp, clear by email. It also includes the check-in form, the payment page at check-out and the morning briefing sheet the team reads before service. Each one carries the hotel's brand and follows how it already works.

03

Build the shortest route

We use the systems already in place and add only what the journey needs: no app for the guest to download, and no form when a reply will do. The interface might be a conversation, page, form or payment screen. The guest sees the simplest route rather than the machinery behind it.

04

Operate and improve it

We adapt the messages, configure the agent, maintain the connections and watch what guests actually do. When the hotel changes, the journey changes. When a better component appears, we replace it without handing you a migration project.

Four hotels. Four different actions.

Each one made something easier for guests and staff.

Clearer messages and simpler routes help more guests complete the action. When information reaches the right place automatically, less work falls back on reception.

One property or a whole estate

One principle. Different routes for every hotel.

A city hotel and a country resort should not have the same guest journey. Neither should two properties in the same group if their systems, teams and commercial priorities are different.

One property

Biteluxe can begin with one action at one property. Once it works, it carries.

Bring us one action

A whole estate

We carry the operating standard across the group while adapting the build to each hotel's systems and the communication to each brand. Head office gets consistency. Each property keeps the fit and its own voice.

Talk to us about your group
Works with what you already run

We connect to your systems. We don't replace them.

Your PMS, your restaurant and spa diaries, your payment provider or ours, the QR codes in your rooms. The guest just sees a message. Your team keeps working in the systems they already know.

Your PMS

If a system has useful endpoints, we connect to it. If it has none, we establish what can still be delivered without forcing the hotel into a replacement project. Some journeys need a deep PMS connection. Others work without one at all. Official partners of Oracle Opera, Guestline and many other PMS providers.

Your diaries and payments

The booking diaries for the restaurant and the spa. Your payment provider, or ours. A staff inbox on desktop and mobile. Every property has inherited systems, and hotel groups often have several versions of the same problem across one estate.

Your on-site triggers

A QR code in the room, or the WiFi login. Whatever starts the conversation on site. We do not make the rest of the guest journey wait for the most awkward system in the building.

All your questions, decoded

Which PMS do you integrate with, and how deep?

Any PMS, and the other systems you already run: restaurant and spa diaries, your staff inbox, and your payment provider, or ours if you prefer. Two-way wherever the system allows it, so a booking, a charge or an upgrade lands where your team already looks. We are official partners of Oracle Opera, Guestline and many other PMS providers.

What does it cost, and what is the contract?

It is priced on the property and billed monthly, so you only pay for what you have us build. You get two months in the operation, rolling, before any annual commitment.

What if the AI says the wrong thing? When does a person take over?

It answers only from information your hotel has approved, in the property's own voice, and it says so when it does not know. Anything outside that reaches a named person on your team with the conversation attached.

How long does it take to set up, and what do you need from us?

One hour and fifteen minutes of your time in total: a one-hour kick-off call, then a fifteen-minute walkthrough of the inbox for the front desk. The build, the tone, the connections and the testing are ours, over about three weeks.

Is it WhatsApp only? What about guests without a mobile number?

No. Guests reach you on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, live chat, voice AI, email and OTA messaging. Where a booking arrives without a mobile number we ask for it at the first touch, and it never costs the guest anything to reply.

Who has to look at it on our side, and on what?

One inbox, on desktop and on the phone, where your team reads and replies. That is the whole footprint. Everything behind it is run by us, so nothing breaks when a receptionist leaves.

How do upsells actually work?

Rooms, dining, spa and extras are offered at the moment they are most likely to be taken, inside the conversation. The charge lands on the folio and the reservation updates, so nobody re-keys anything. The occasion is asked for, not guessed.

Who else uses it, and what results should we expect?

The Queen at Chester, The Bromley Court Hotel, Woodlands Glencoe and Bowood, with their results above. Every figure we publish is one a hotel has agreed to put its name to. See the results.

Will it look and sound like our hotel?

Yes. The guest sees your hotel's name and hears your hotel's voice; Biteluxe is never visible. Down to the detail: “hello” rather than “hi”, first names or a salutation, whichever your brand uses.

Does it work across a group?

Yes. One operating standard across the estate, with each property keeping its own systems and its own voice. Sized across the group, contracted property by property or on one master agreement, whichever gives your procurement team less work.

Our property has its own way of doing things. Housekeeping and maintenance are reached differently, say. Can you account for that?

Yes. Every workflow is built for your property, around the way your teams already work. It is never one-size-fits-all.
