, this drives me nuts! I love the idea of tech in guest experiences, but sometimes it feels like we’re just adding more screens. I tried using a simple SMS system for wait times during our last event, and it really cut down on guest frustration.
I totally get the appeal of SMS systems for wait times! We implemented one last summer and saw guest satisfaction jump, though staff training was key. Any tips for integrating tech without overwhelming guests? .
Integrating SMS for wait times definitely boosts guest satisfaction, but I’ve found that training staff to manage and communicate updates is crucial. Last summer, we had a few hiccups because some team members weren’t fully on board with the tech. It’s all about blending the tools with effective communication. @harriet56, how did your team handle the training aspect?
It really comes down to balance. I tried using an RFID system to enhance the guest experience during peak hours, and while it definitely helped, we had to ramp up staff training to handle the tech. If you’re going to invest in something, make sure it aligns with team capabilities — maybe even have a few hands-on sessions like @rachael_moore99 suggested.
