For hotels, agencies and DMCs
Concierge services in hotels, run as tracked workflows
Turn calls, chat messages and paper notes into guest requests with an owner, a deadline and a record, so late check-outs, transfers, dining and housekeeping requests are handled the same way every stay.
- One guest request queue
- Routing and SLA timers
- Paid extras and upgrades
- Virtual concierge by QR link
Beyond the booking
Concierge services that do not depend on one person at a desk
The guest experience is won after the booking is confirmed. When concierge services run on phones, personal WhatsApp chats and notes, requests get lost between shifts and nobody can show how fast they were handled. PHPTRAVELS builds a concierge request layer on its travel booking core, so every request is logged against the stay, routed to the right team or partner and closed with proof.

Service catalogue
Request types for housekeeping, dining, transport, tours and upgrades, each with its price, team and response target.
Routing and ownership
Requests are assigned by type, department and shift, so nothing waits in a shared inbox.
SLA timers and escalation
Each request carries a deadline and moves to a supervisor when it is at risk.
Approvals for paid services
Late check-out, early check-in and upgrades follow rate rules and approval steps before confirmation.
Guest preferences
Pillow, dietary and arrival preferences are stored on the guest profile for the next stay.
Tours, transfers and dining
Partner services are booked through the tours and transfers modules, with vouchers and your markup.
Request lifecycle
From guest message to closed request
The same five steps for a pillow request, a paid late check-out or a partner tour, so every team works one process.
Intake
The guest sends a request by QR link, or the front desk logs it on the guest's behalf.

FAQ
Concierge services in hotels: questions
What hotels, agencies, OTAs, tour operators and DMCs ask before digitising guest services.
Talk to salesConcierge services in hotels are the guest services that happen beyond the booking: requests, upgrades, transfers, dining, tours and local help. In operational terms they are a layer that captures each request, routes it to the right team or partner, tracks its status and confirms completion.
The concierge manages intake, priorities, partner coordination and service recovery. With digital workflows they spend less time chasing updates by phone and more time on quality and personal service.
Guests choose common requests themselves through an in-room QR link or web page, with delivery time and notes. Requests are assigned automatically and guests see status updates, so staff receive clear tasks instead of repeated calls.
Chat is a channel. Hotel concierge software is the workflow engine behind it, with request types, ownership, deadlines, escalations, templates and reports, so guest services can be managed and improved.
Yes. Agencies and OTAs can use the same workflows for post-booking requests, upgrades, changes and on-trip support across suppliers and properties, with a record of every action.
The booking core, modules and admin are included in every plan with full source code. The concierge request layer is built and configured for your request types and departments as a custom project, so contact sales or request a demo to scope it.
