About The Role
As a Remote Front Desk Agent at Canary Technologies, you’ll deliver a warm, professional hotel check-in experience over live video. You’ll use hotel PMS systems (e.g., Opera Cloud, SkyTouch) to locate reservations, verify ID, and follow property-specific workflows with accuracy and care.
Responsibilities
- Check guests in over video. Greet arriving guests, verify ID, confirm stay details, and complete check-in using property-specific workflows.
- Navigate hotel PMS systems — including Opera Cloud, SkyTouch, and others — to locate reservations, validate guest identity, collect authorization, issue keys, and execute standard check-in steps.
- Represent the hotel brand. Communicate in a polished, warm, hospitality-grade tone. Answer common arrival questions (room access, amenities, basic policies).
- Follow structured, property-specific workflows. Each hotel has its own playbook during the pilot. Adherence matters.
- Escalate the right things to the right place.
- Urgent guest issues → on-site property staff
- Technical or workflow issues → Canary Product / Engineering
- Spot and flag unusual or sensitive situations — safety concerns, suspected fraud, compliance risks.
- Document interactions and exceptions accurately within Canary's systems.
- Hold the line on privacy, ID verification, and compliance standards. No shortcuts.
- Give structured feedback to Product and Engineering on what is friction, what is unclear, and what would make the next check-in faster or safer.
- 1–3 years in hospitality (front desk, guest services, reservations) or comparable live, customer-facing support.
- Hands-on familiarity with hotel PMS platforms; Opera Cloud, Cloudbeds, or SkyTouch experience strongly preferred.
- Experience handling guest check-ins and reservation-lookup workflows.
- Strong verbal communication — clear, warm, professional, and guest-ready on camera.
- Calm, solution-oriented presence in live guest interactions.
- High reliability and attendance consistency.
- Comfortable working independently in a structured, process-driven environment.
- Strong, stable internet connection and a quiet, professional remote workspace.
