The Trickle Through Theory of Planniac: How one plan ripples across hospitality
In the realm of hospitality, simplicity often conceals complexity. Take, for example, the simple arrival transfer. On its surface, it seems like a straightforward task – pick up the guest and bring them to the resort. But when this seemingly minor event is entered into Planniac's scheduling system, it sets off a chain reaction of coordination and efficiency that reverberates throughout the organization. That’s what we mean by the Trickle Through Theory.
Take Bob and Sue, a hardworking couple who've saved for years for their dream vacation. They already have an idea of what to expect, since they’ve seen the itinerary sent by the resort through Planniac. And when they step off the plane and into the virtual waiting arms of the resort's driver, this moment is the first link in a chain of events that will shape their entire stay.
The arrival transfer: driving the first impression
As Bob and Sue embark on their right-on-time journey from the airport to the resort, their driver, armed with information, ensures that everything runs like clockwork. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, the front desk are already prepared thanks to the integration of the arrival transfer plan into Bob and Sue's profile.
The Front Desk: The hub of hospitality
With Bob and Sue's arrival confirmed, the front desk springs into action. Armed with insights from Planniac, they're able to anticipate their needs and preferences, expediting the check-in process and ensuring a warm welcome. Bob & Sue’s itinerary is reviewed and confirmed on the spot.
Housekeeping: Crystal clear instructions
As Bob and Sue settle into their room, they're greeted by a haven of cleanliness and comfort – all thanks to the seamless coordination facilitated by Planniac. With housekeeping alerted to their arrival time, every detail is attended to, from fresh linens to sparkling surfaces. Bob smiles when he sees the bottle of champagne that he had ordered to celebrate their anniversary, perfectly presented with a nice little card.
The Kitchen and Restaurant: The perfect setting
As evening falls, Bob and Sue find themselves drawn to the resort's restaurant. When a cheerful server welcomes them to the resort as new check-ins, greets them by name and wishes them a happy anniversary, their hearts warm to the resort even more. And to their surprise, the kitchen is already aware of Sue's nut allergy.
