Save time, increase revenue, and deliver a great hospitality experience – the tablet designed for your vacation rental properties or serviced apartments. Subscribers receive an 8 inch tablet, pre-loaded with YourWelcome’s custom hospitality software. There’s no need to download any other apps – YourWelcome has all the features your guests will need, straight out of the box. A display stand, charger and extra-long charging cable are included with every tablet so that you have everything you need to leave it out for guests. Every major hotel chain has some kind of screen based guest interaction device (whether it’s an interactive teletext style TV platform or a modern tablet device), now that the hospitality industry has spread to people’s homes YourWelcome wants to replicate these services and become a broadcast channel in AirBnB properties. This opens up huge monetization possibilities with scale as the AirBnB travel economy is huge and rapidly expanding. Host Benefits: Hosts rent the device, populated with a user-generated welcome video and any instructional videos they deem necessary to communicate any essential information and/or quirks of their property. Hosts then have an option to curate and enable daily local offers for attractions, restaurants and days out that they believe will enhance their guests stay. Hosts then leave the device on a stand or for the guests during their stay at their vacation rental property. We offer hosts an innovative solution for effectively communicating, with a personal touch, the key information about the property. Guest Benefits: On arrival, guests can instantly view the host generated welcome and instructional videos, while being introduced to the hosts local recommendations and daily hyper-local offers for attractions, restaurants and days out. This reduces host interaction and provides added value to their stay.
