Hotels & Resorts

Looking to design an appropriate automated parking system?

Presenting a powerful document packed with experience in designing automated parking and access systems for hotels & resorts.

As part of providing high-quality service many hotels and resorts are offering curbside valet parking option to their guests.

The fees collected through a parking system have the benefit of paying off the system, are an additional source of income that can be used to install new furnishings, enhance the beauty and build new facilities in the hotel.

As the demand for security & convenience in parking and access control in hotels from end users increases day by day, manufacturers of these industries use increasingly sophisticated technology to meet this demand.

Today large multi-dimensional resort hotels are gaining immense popularity causing major security concerns for administrators. The latest trend in hotels includes campuses that have a mix of office space, residential units and recreational facilities that may be open to the public. A resort is like a small town. It can have restaurants, stores, games, recreational activities and more. The system needs to differentiate between residents versus guests of the hotel and treat them accordingly.

Many hotels today operate with a property management system that generates a card used by the guests to gain entry to their hotel room. The difference between check out time and termination time should be kept in mind while issuing of such a card. In many instances physical check out is not necessary. The same is applicable to non-hotel users too.

Non-hotel users may be visitors to the guest, trade-shows, restaurants, special event parkers, etc.

Staff and employees need to be given access to various areas of the hotel at various times depending upon their job and position. If an employee leaves the employment of the hotel his card can be voided by the administration.

The guide provides standard sample drawings, survey forms, proposals, templates, guidelines, etc. to design an efficient and cost effective system.

The manual is aimed at administrators, developers, managers, etc. to provide a hassle free system to a wide variety of users.

It should prove to be a benchmark in addressing the real issues related to users in many ways.

A perfect solution may differ from one hotel or resort to another, depending on the needs and requirements of the project. To provide a perfect/complete solution the requirements of the various user groups, layout and structure should be known beforehand. Knowing the customers is essential.

One of the important criteria of a smoothly running application is choosing a correctly designed system at the outset. A poorly designed system causes many post installation problems, that might cost the organization a lot of time, labor and money.

The biggest challenge faced by designers, administrators, managers is the transitory nature of most of the users.

The handbook helps face this and many other challenges in this application.
