Mr MartinGuest · late arrivalLive

Good evening, we’re arriving around 11.30 pm tonight. Will reception still be open?

It closes at 10 pm, but a late arrival is possible. What name is the booking under?

Martin, two nights. And can we park on site with a trailer?

The car park takes trailers. I’ve noted your arrival around 11.30 pm, and the team knows.

The question you are asking

What does Cantya change for hospitality and tourism?

In hospitality and tourism, Cantya picks up the calls of a hotel, a residence or a tourist office at any hour and in six languages. It answers practical questions, takes booking requests or points to your booking link, and passes every call to the team as a written summary.

At reception, the phone rings at the worst moment: during morning check-outs, when three guests are waiting at the desk, or at midnight when the night porter is doing the rounds. Most of these calls are about the same things. Arrival time, parking, pets, breakfast, the shuttle from the station.

Cantya answers these questions with what you wrote for it, in French, English, Spanish, German, Italian or Romanian. For a booking, it cannot see your property management system: it takes down the dates, the number of people and the contact details so the team can confirm, or it gives the traveller the address of your online booking page.

In practice

How it gets set up

  1. 01

    You write the phone welcome booklet

    Reception hours, parking, pets allowed or not, breakfast, access from the station, published cancellation terms. What your guests ask most often, written once.

  2. 02

    You say where a room is booked

    The address of your online booking page, and the details to take down when the traveller prefers to go through the team: dates, number of people, room type wanted.

  3. 03

    Cantya answers in the traveller’s language

    The caller speaks English or German, Cantya answers in their language, day or night. The summary, however, is written for your team.

  4. 04

    Reception takes over in the morning

    Late arrivals, booking requests, questions left open: everything reaches your tools, with the summary of each call and a link to listen to it.

Everything you need to know.

Another question?Our team will answer, with your use cases in front of them.Talk to the team
Can Cantya confirm that a room is free?

No. It does not read your property management system. It takes down the dates, the number of people and the contact details so the team can confirm, or it gives the address of your online booking page.

Which languages does it answer travellers in?

French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Romanian. It follows the caller’s language, and the summary stays readable by your team.

Can a guest ask to talk to reception?

Yes. Cantya transfers the call to the number you designated, reception or the night porter. If nobody picks up, it takes a complete message with the name, the dates of stay and the request.

Can a tourist office use it too?

Yes. Opening hours, guided tours, access to sites, the season’s events: Cantya answers on what you supplied, and can book an appointment for a group visit if you manage a calendar.

The next call gets answered.
