QSR digital signage isn’t just for displaying menus — it’s a growth driver. With optimized digital menu boards, wayfinding signage, and smart upsell prompts, quick service restaurants can speed up ordering, improve guest satisfaction, and increase average order value.
Frustrated travelers and long wait times don’t mix. Scala’s self-service car rental kiosks streamline check-in, cut queues, and enhance guest satisfaction — helping hospitality brands turn better experiences into stronger loyalty and higher revenue.
Travel demand fluctuates throughout the year — but no matter the season, hotel loyalty programs are under constant pressure. With varying guest volumes, shifting expectations, and rising competition, it’s no surprise that loyalty initiatives are often stretched thin.
Yet for many hotels, loyalty begins and ends at enrollment. Guests sign up, earn points, and maybe redeem them down the line — but too often, the benefits stop at the app. The difference between loyalty programs and personalized hotel experiences is a missed opportunity. This is even true beyond the summer travel months.
In this post, you’ll learn:
During summer hotel travel, when guest traffic spikes, so do service demands. Today’s travelers expect seamless, intuitive interactions from check-in to checkout. For loyalty members, the stakes are even higher — they want perks to appear without asking.
Peak-season challenges often bury the perceived value of loyalty perks. Do any of these sound all-too familiar?
When expectations go unmet, even your most loyal guests may reconsider returning. There’s a common thread throughout these pain points — technology can play a key role in turning around a negative experience.
Behind the scenes, hotel teams are stretched thin. Front desk staff handle check-ins, special requests and, at times, growing queues and system issues. This leaves them little time to notice loyalty status or act on personalized guest data.
Even when staff know who’s in a top-tier loyalty tier, there’s rarely an efficient way to put that knowledge into action. These are the members that staff wish they could take the extra moment to greet and mention relevant services, events and amenities to. Technology can ease the burden of some of the tactical aspects of checking in and checkout, leaving more time for personalization with the guest in front of staff.
Without the right tools, operational blind spots make it hard to deliver proactive service.
Personalization goes beyond remembering a name, it’s about improving the hotel experience and providing value at the right time. Travelers want a hotel stay that meets their needs right away. According to Hotel Business, 61% of consumers will pay more for personalized experiences. Modern travelers expect loyalty perks that feel tailored: early check-ins, exclusive access, and content that reflects their preferences.
Hotel technology such as digital signage and solutions, countertop and standalone kiosks, and video walls, hoteliers can bring those moments to life. Consider optimizing or implementing:
Digital signage can increase upselling by up to 23%. This is especially true for promoting room upgrades and special offers.
When loyalty benefits are visible and relevant at the exact moment they matter, they can drive loyalty app engagement, making perks feel immediate and personal. Your content management platform needs to be able to display (and adjust and schedule!) dynamic, tier-based messaging on-site to reinforce program value in real time (at scale!):
Imagine a resort lobby where a returning guest sees a “Welcome back!” message and a personalized suggestion for a wine tasting, all relevant messages based on their last visit. That’s the kind of seamless loyalty moment that drives return stays.
First impressions matter, especially during the summer travel rush. With the right technology, hotels can streamline arrivals and make loyalty recognition feel effortless:
And when loyalty moments are visually reinforced at the point of arrival, they feel intentional — not accidental.
Once a guest is settled, engagement shouldn’t stop. Personalization keeps loyalty top-of-mind throughout the stay:
This kind of deep engagement is complex, behind the scenes integration and syncing of technology, and a trusted service provider should have a thorough discovery process ready, understanding your guest and employee experience goals.
Guests want control and convenience, and your solution provider can help with a strategy to introduce, measure and adjust your digital solutions at scale. Digital signage integrated with wayfinding kiosks, touch displays, and concierge stations allows guests to explore amenities, navigate the property, and interact with loyalty perks on their own terms.
