How long does it take to set up guest messaging at a hotel?
About three weeks of our time, and one hour fifteen minutes of yours: a one-hour kick-off call, then a fifteen-minute walkthrough of the inbox for your front desk. The build, the tone, the connections and the testing are ours. Then you get two months in the operation before any annual commitment.
Biteluxe · updated September 2026Five steps. Three of them need you.
Thirty minutes to show us the action that is harder than it should be. One session to map what the guest is trying to do, what your team needs and how the brand should sound. Three weeks in which we build, connect and test. Fifteen minutes to walk your team through the small part they will see. Then two months to prove it in the operation.
What you want to say, and access to your PMS.
You tell us what you want to say and how your hotel does things. We arrange access to your PMS with you at the kick-off. Everything else is ours.
It keeps changing with your hotel.
Every change after go-live is part of the service. There is no settings panel for your team to learn, and nothing breaks when a receptionist leaves.
Follow-up questions
Do our staff need training?
Fifteen minutes on the inbox, where they read and reply to what needs a person. That is the whole footprint.
Can we start with one thing?
Yes. Bring us one action, the one where guests or staff lose the most time, and start there.
Does it take longer for a group?
Each property gets its own session and its own two months, sized across the group, with one operating standard across the estate.
