What It Is

Real-time feedback system capturing guest sentiment during stays, detecting issues immediately, triggering automated service recovery, and tracking satisfaction trends

Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)
  1. Guest checks into the hotel and receives a welcome message via email or SMS.
  2. During their stay, guests are prompted to provide feedback through in-room tablets, mobile apps, or QR codes linked to surveys.
  3. Feedback is collected in real-time and analyzed for sentiment using natural language processing (NLP) tools.
  4. If negative feedback is detected, an automated alert is sent to the service recovery team.
  5. The service recovery team reviews the feedback and initiates a recovery process, which may include contacting the guest directly, offering compensation, or resolving the issue on-site.
  6. The resolution is documented in the system, and follow-up communication is sent to the guest to ensure satisfaction.
  7. Data on guest feedback and service recovery efforts is aggregated and analyzed for trends to inform future improvements.

Characteristics

  • SurveyMonkey
  • Qualtrics
  • Zendesk

  • Email platforms (e.g., Mailchimp)

Pain Points

  • Manual data entry is time-consuming
  • Process is error-prone
  • Limited visibility into process status
  • Limited integration between feedback tools and service recovery systems
  • Potential for low response rates if feedback mechanisms are not user-friendly

Future State

(Agentic)
  1. Guest checks into the hotel and receives a welcome message via email or SMS.
  2. During their stay, guests provide feedback through in-room tablets, mobile apps, or QR codes linked to surveys.
  3. Feedback is processed in real-time by the Sentiment Analysis Agent, which categorizes it and detects negative sentiment.
  4. If negative feedback is detected, the Service Recovery Agent is triggered to initiate recovery actions, which may include contacting the guest directly or escalating to a human agent.
  5. The resolution is documented by the Service Recovery Agent, and the Notification Agent sends follow-up communication to the guest to ensure satisfaction.
  6. The Data Aggregation Agent compiles feedback data for trend analysis and generates reports for management.
