New cloud-based minibar concept
new mobile app has been developed that addresses F&B managers’ needs for simplified minibar and in-room amenities management. ABreez by Mobile Simple is hospitality’s first cloud-based, mobile managed minibar that directly posts consumptions to the guest folio via a PMS interface. Employee tasks are simplified and optimised. Operational and financial reports are easily consolidated and always available, giving managers full visibility of all activities.
Christelle Pigeat, Mobile Simple CEO remarked, “Until now, hoteliers had only two options to choose from: manual minibars or door detection/automatic minibars. Today, the ABreez managed minibar is the new alternative -and it’s one that is user friendly and far more financially attractive.
“At first, hoteliers questioned how a minibar management solution that doesn’t contain any sensors can streamline workflow,” she said. “By leveraging new technologies, such as mobility and cloud, we automate the processes. Once hoteliers experience the solution and see a live demo, they understand the immediate value in having a ‘managed minibar.’. With ABreez, we deliver departure data and real time room status, productivity and financial reports, inventory updates and more via any mobile device. By having staff do the postings via mobile app, and not the guests triggering charges when a product is removed, we highly reduce guest complaints related to overbilling errors. The response we get from 100 per cent of F&B managers is ‘thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for.'”
