Arriving and departing hotel guests can use the kiosk to:
- Check in to their room and pick up the room key in a few simple steps. This includes completion of registration card, passport scanning, adding products and credit card payment.
- Check-out and leave the hotel. This includes reviewing any expenses, update of billing address and credit card payment.
- Walk-in when arriving without a hotel reservation. This includes selecting an available room and completing the same steps as for regular check-in.
- In-house (already checked-in guests) can use the kiosk to create an additional or replacement key.
- Pick-up room keys
- in less than 20 seconds by scanning a QR code if pre-check-in was done online before arrival.
A self-service solution is often a supplement to regular assisted check-in. It brings additional value to hotel guests by providing a choice on how to best interact with the hotel.
- Available 24/7 allowing guests to check-in late at night in hotels with limited staff availability
- Simple interaction in the guests own language
- Express service - no need to wait in line for manual check-in during busy hours
- Safe and near-contactless check-in experience with zero need for direct interaction with hotel staff
- Automatically encoded electronic keycards – go straight to room after completing the check-in
Hotel self-service is meant to enhance the guest experience and augment the hotel staff to give the same level of service with:
- Reduced staff cost
- High availability
- A consistent arrival and departure experience
- Improved upselling results
- Advanced ID and Passport verification and scanning
- Improved guest satisfaction

Our outdoor kiosks can be fully managed by our ABOL software and can operate without a PMS integration. ABOL allows you to manually add reservations, the assigned room number, and the price (to pay). Arriving guests will complete the registration card, scan ID if required, and pay using a credit card before getting access to their electronic or mechanical key.

Our outdoor kiosks can be delivered with keycard compartments instead of encoders for electronic keys. Load your mechanical keys to an empty compartment, update the reservation in the PMS with the corresponding compartment number and the correct key will be dispensed when the arriving guest completes check-in.
