Reduce hotel costs
Printed room folders are a thing of the past, today hoteliers use digital solutions
In the future, you will never need to print out guest information again. Make all special offers and information available to your guests with the digital guest directory. With better.guest, your guests are always up to date. In the lobby, in the hotel room or on the go – with digital guest directory, printed information is a thing of the past. Experience now how easy it can be to reduce printing costs and finally say goodbye to paperwork.
Before: Often there is chaos on the desk in the hotel room with flyers & brochures
After: Tidy up the desk in the hotel room with the digital guest directory
You can easily integrate the latest offers, tips for events or flyers for the nearby leisure park into your digital guest directory. Say goodbye to brochures, flyers and information folders with unsightly signs of use and the associated costs. In addition, the printed guest folder is not a highlight for your guest and, in the worst case, will be ignored.
Avoid printing costs
Reducing printing costs made easy thanks to digital guest directory
Of course, the guest directory needs to be kept up to date. What can be updated in a matter of seconds with the digital guest directory is not possible with the printed information folder. The guest directory has to be reprinted. This is not only time-consuming, but also costs money.
Material costs (incl. replacement)
60 folders x 60 euros = 3,600 euros/year
Printing costs
20 pages x 0.16 Euro = 3.20 Euro/room
3.20 Euro/room x 20 rooms = 160 Euro/year
Total costs (without personnel costs)
If you update twice a year, you have pure material and printing costs of more than 4,000 euros/year. On top of that, you have to tie up staff to replace the labels in each individual room.
You pay an average of 16 cents per colour copy. With 20 pages, that’s an additional 320 euros per year. You fill the folders yourself. At this point, we prefer to ignore the cost of exchanging the information. So you spend almost 4,000 euros on folders that show signs of wear again and again and are hardly ever picked up by a guest. A lot of money for little effect. Invest the money in digital guest directory instead. The smart room folders don’t cost any more, but they increase your turnover and pay for themselves.
Cancel room cleaning
Minimise cleaning costs with the digital guest directory
Offer your guests the option of cancelling daily room cleaning. With the help of the digital guest directory, you can inform your guests about the option to easily cancel room cleaning in their hotel room. Explain to your guests how easy it is to take a stand for the environment and climate protection. All they have to do is cancel the daily room cleaning service. This saves water and reduces waste water. You reduce your consumption and cut your operating costs with the help of smart guest directories. Your staff will also save time cleaning the rooms.
Did you know that…?
the average cost of room cleaning is around €7.30 per hotel room. If a hotel guest cancels room cleaning with the digital guest directory just once a month per hotel room, you have already refinanced the licence costs for this.
“The cancel room cleaning function of the digital guest directory opens up a completely new way for us to conserve both energy and human resources and thus counteract staff shortages and environmental pollution at the same time.”
Daniel Welter, Hotel Manager VdK Kur- und Erholungshotel
Relieve your hotel staff
Give your staff more time for guests with the digital guest directory
At a time when the word “staff shortage” dominates the news, the digital guest directory gives you a decisive advantage. Use it and give your staff the opportunity to focus on important tasks.

Current newspapers and magazines
Your chambermaids don’t have to distribute the TV newspapers and other magazines to every room every week. The digital guest directory always provides the latest TV guides. Your guests can choose from a wide range of magazines – and don’t have to go without their favourite magazine while on holiday.
