Checkmate Assistant

Guest using the Checkmate Assistant self check-in kiosk in a premium hotel lobby.

Checkmate Assistant takes over the complete guest journey and daily hotel operation—from pre-arrival and PMS reservation lookup to self check-in, digital access, in-stay service, and checkout. AI chat and an AI phone assistant help guests 24/7 and transfer exceptions directly to a team member. Housekeeping, reporting, and WhatsApp, SMS, and email integrations run in the same platform, enabling hotels to operate fully front-desk-free and structurally reduce reception FTEs.

One Journey, from Booking to Checkout

Checkmate Assistant connects every guest moment in one self-service flow. The platform recognizes the reservation, guides the guest through each required step, and keeps hotel systems synchronized along the way.

PMS reservation lookup and synchronization with Mews, LodgeGate, OPERA, Fidelio, and custom adapters

Automated pre-arrival communication, mobile check-in, payments, and relevant upsell offers

Kiosk check-in with registration, identity checks, and key or digital-access delivery

One guest portal for access, service requests, feedback, and checkout—without an app download

An AI Reception across Chat and Phone

The AI reception becomes the first point of contact for routine questions, at any hour and in the guest's own language. This removes repetitive work while keeping human help immediately available for exceptions.

Connected Operations behind the Guest Experience

While the guest sees one simple journey, Checkmate Assistant coordinates the work behind it. Teams and managers gain a single operational view instead of separate inboxes, spreadsheets, and manual handovers.

Real-time housekeeping room status, task assignment, checklists, and maintenance follow-up

Automated guest workflows via WhatsApp, SMS, and email from one communication layer
