Passes: a clear balance for the guest and the desk

What we hear when we sit down with operators

With passes it is often unclear whether they are transferable, how many people may use them, until when they are valid, and whether one entry counts on every pass-through or only once a day.

If only the desk knows these rules “from practice”, customers get different answers and complaints are handled from memory.

Why fixing a single step is not enough

A pass is a product with its own rules. The system has to know not only the balance, but who used an entry, when and where.

The product rules are defined at sale

A pass can have a number of entries, a validity date, a zone type and transfer rules. The customer should receive these terms clearly already at purchase.

Fitness, wellness or the waterpark can each have different rules.

Every redemption creates a history

At entry the pass is identified by a QR code, an RFID medium or an account, depending on the implementation. The system deducts the entry and stores the time and place of use.

At a complaint the desk then sees a concrete history instead of a guess.

The guest can see the same balance as the desk

If the pass is linked to CRM or an online account, the client can see the remaining entries and the validity.

That reduces the calls of the kind “how many do I have left?”.

Expiry and renewal follow the rules

The system can warn that validity is about to end or offer a new product.

The decision to extend or compensate stays with the property, according to its terms.
