Wireless handheld solution bringing property F&B, merchandise and services directly to guests anywhe
CHERRY HILL, NJ, June 5, 2006 -Tiare Technology's intelliChaise(R) Personal Ordering System has been declared a future "must have" technology by Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) for its ability to enhance the guest experience, generate higher incremental revenues per guest, and provide faster and more efficient service operations. The comprehensive solution - which allows guests to place orders for food, beverages and hotel services poolside, beachside, or anywhere on a property - will be on display as part of GUESTROOM 2010, a prototype hotel room and pavilion at the 34th Annual Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC) June 19-22 at the Minneapolis (Minn.) Convention Center.
"Our selection panel, comprised of some of the top hospitality technology experts in the world, selected Tiare Technology's intelliChaise(R) Personal Ordering System as an example of products that might have a positive impact on the guestroom in 2010," said Frank Wolfe, HFTP's executive vice president and CEO. "This impact should be both positive and long lasting."
Julie Werbitt, CEO of Tiare Technology, said the patented intelliChaise(R) system was created to solve the frustrations and inefficiencies currently facing guests of a hotel, resort, spa, cruise ship or country club who wish to order food, beverages, retail merchandise or services quickly and conveniently.
"Guests often feel abandoned and ignored when it comes to accessing service from the property, especially if they are by the pool or on the beach," Werbitt said. "Tiare Technology has created a way to bring personal service to guests when they want it - and where they want it - no matter how busy the property or how secluded the location.
"Tiare Technology created the intelliChaise(R) system to address the guest's need for both fast and personalized service. It includes a wireless handheld device with a simple touch screen that allows guests to place orders directly from their chair - wherever that chair may be," she said. "Guests benefit from faster service, greater control over their service, increased convenience and improved personalized attention. And, in instances where immediate attention is required, the guests need only press the 'Call Server' button to alert staff of their request."
