Our services are built around clear output metrics and are executed by skilled, trained professionals. We operate strictly within your standards, policies, and brand style. The services described below outline various tasks available within that type of service. See our Packages and Pricing webpage where these various tasks are grouped into simple, flat monthly fee bundles.

Core Service Area

Guest and Attendee Inbox Ownership

Guestsmiths monitors approved inboxes during agreed coverage windows, responds to routine questions using approved templates and rules, logs non-trivial items, and routes exceptions to the correct client contact. This may include hotel guest inboxes, event attendee inboxes, OTA or platform inboxes where permitted, and STR guest messaging channels depending on the package.

Phone Support and Call Handling

Phone support is available when included in the selected package and confirmed in the SOW. Coverage is based on written coverage windows, call type, expected volume, escalation rules, and approved call-handling scripts. Guestsmiths does not quote rates, approve refunds, make reservations, or make policy exceptions unless the SOW includes documented authority for the specific action.

Lifecycle and “What to Expect” Communications

Guestsmiths helps manage approved pre-arrival, in-stay, post-stay, event-week, and attendee communications. Messages are sent or prepared according to

client-approved templates, timing rules, opt-out rules where applicable, and platform access.

SOP, Template, and One-Source-of-Truth Stewardship

Guestsmiths helps maintain living SOPs, response templates, FAQ content, event details, property notes, and account rules so the service team works from current, approved information. Draft updates are routed for approval before guest-facing language or policy guidance is published or used.

Lifecycle and “What to Expect” Communications

Open-Loop Tracking and Operational Visibility

Guestsmiths can maintain open item lists, escalation logs, decision queues, owner tracking, issue summaries, and operational dashboards depending on the package. Each unresolved item should have an owner, next step, and next update time.

Service Recovery Routing and Escalation Support

Guestsmiths can intake guest or attendee concerns, classify the issue, send approved acknowledgments, collect relevant details, and route the issue to the documented owner. Guestsmiths does not admit liability, promise compensation, make safety determinations, or approve exceptions unless expressly authorized in writing.

Reputation and Review Support

Guestsmiths can support review request workflows, reputation monitoring, review theme tracking, and reputation snapshots. Review response drafting may be included in selected packages or add-ons, but client approval is required before posting unless the SOW expressly states otherwise.

Hotel Operations Support

Hotel support may include guest inbox ownership, lifecycle messaging, PMS alignment for non-financial operational readiness, service recovery routing, OTA hygiene checks, reputation snapshots, group block coordination, vendor scheduling and confirmations, and quarterly guest-friction refreshes, depending on package level.

Event Operations Support

Event support may include attendee inbox ownership, event documentation stewardship, FAQ and “what to expect” communications, speaker/vendor confirmations, milestone tracking, run-of-show version control, attendee data hygiene, sponsor deliverables tracking, VIP concierge lane support, and post-event follow-through, depending on package level.

Short-Term Rental Guest Response Support

STR support is structured separately from hotel and event packages. Guestsmiths offers overnight guest response, true 24/7 guest response, and portfolio operations support depending on property count, coverage needs, message volume, incident history, and complexity. STR services use property playbooks, authority documents, severity classification, escalation maps, and activity caps.

Reporting and Client Updates

Depending on the package, Guestsmiths may provide weekly service updates, monthly activity summaries, inbox activity summaries, phone activity summaries, escalation logs, open-loop trackers, reputation snapshots, issue trend summaries, or operational visibility dashboards.
