Start hotel guest services without a PMS integration
Go live with room QR portals and a front-desk board while your PMS project continues — or forever if deep sync is not required.
Start guest services without a PMS integration
Many “digital transformation” programs stall because PMS integration becomes the critical path. QRFront deliberately scopes guest communication and requests so you can go live while the PMS roadmap continues.
What you can do on day one
- Print room QR cards and place them in guest units.
- Accept amenity requests and chat on the front desk board.
- Onboard housekeeping with invite QR on phones.
- Offer multilingual UI and optional AI translation.
What QRFront does not require
- Reservation feed from the PMS.
- Folio posting for guest self-service charges.
- Room assignment sync every check-in.
Guest sessions follow room QR + check-in time rules inside QRFront (for example automatic rollover at 15:00). Chat retention is 30 days on the server for audit, then deletion per policy.
When you still need PMS integration later
- Real-time inventory-driven upsell.
- Loyalty identity across stays.
- Automatic posting to guest folio.
QRFront can remain the communication layer even after PMS depth increases.
