Before deploying room QR cards
Use a stable room ID for each physical room. Test guest access opening and closing, printed QR scans, menu availability, service categories, team mapping and an inactive room. Confirm staff know what to do if the guest’s phone or the hotel connection is unavailable.
Before enabling Autopilot
Verify that QR-confirmed attendance is reliable, that every eligible service has a responsible team, and that the default estimated duration is realistic. Test a staff member on break, a wrong-team employee, overloaded queues, offers nobody accepts and the same task accepted concurrently on two devices.
During the controlled pilot
Log the number of requests created, time to acceptance, time to completion, queue capacity exceptions and manual overrides. Review them with the actual duty team. Keep a documented way to switch to Manual Mode, and do not enable automation across the whole property until staff and managers trust the recorded state.
