Pre-arrival communication

Start the guest journey before arrival.

A better check-in starts before the guest reaches your hotel. TouchMenu uses PMS reservation data to send personalized pre-arrival messages to upcoming guests.

1
Personalized welcome messages

Branded and based on the reservation.

2
A direct link to online check-in

An action, not just another notification.

3
Automated from your PMS

No manually prepared welcome messages.


How it works

From reservation to a warm welcome.

TouchMenu connects your PMS, pre-arrival communication and digital check-in into one smoother guest journey.

01
Identify

Reservation data from your PMS finds guests approaching their arrival date.

02
Welcome

A branded message with stay information and direct access to online check-in.

03
Check in

Guests complete check-in on their own phone, whenever it suits them.

04
Prepare

Information arrives earlier and, where supported, flows into your PMS.

05
Arrive

Your team focuses on the welcome — not on starting registration from zero.


Guests & front desk

Less waiting. Less administration.

Online check-in gives guests more control and gives reception more time for hospitality.

PMS integration

Connected to your existing PMS.

Online check-in is most valuable when it works with the systems you already use. TouchMenu connects reservation data, pre-arrival messages and the guest journey.

1
Identify upcoming arrivals

And personalize every guest message.

2
Less duplicate data entry

Reservation and guest information stay connected.

3
More automated workflows

From pre-arrival to in-stay experiences.


Beyond check-in

More than standalone check-in software.

A standalone check-in tool solves one moment. TouchMenu connects it with the whole stay — so guests keep using the same experience for dining, bookings, requests and feedback.

Online check-in for hotels

“Online Check-in has made arrivals noticeably smoother for both our guests and front desk team. Guests complete their details before reaching reception, which reduces waiting time and lets our staff focus more on the welcome experience.”
