A practical one-day workshop designed for independent hotel and B&B front-desk staff. Participants learn to draft multilingual guest emails, generate upsell scripts, create review-reply templates, and summarise daily arrival lists using readily available AI tools. The format combines short demonstrations with hands-on exercises using real hospitality scenarios, requiring no prior technical knowledge. By the end of the day, each participant leaves with a personal prompt library tailored to their property.
What you'll be able to do
- Draft a professional multilingual guest email using an AI tool in under two minutes
- Generate a contextual upsell script tailored to a specific room type or guest profile
- Write a polite, on-brand reply to a negative online review using a reusable AI template
- Summarise a 20-item arrival list into a structured shift-handover briefing using AI
- Apply basic data-privacy rules when inputting guest information into AI tools
Topics covered
- Drafting multilingual guest emails using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot)
- Generating personalised upsell scripts for rooms, dining, and experiences
- Writing on-brand review-reply templates for Google and Booking.com
- Summarising arrival lists and guest notes for shift handovers
- Intro to PMS-aware chat widgets and when to use them
- Prompt crafting basics: tone, language, and property context
- Data privacy and guest-data handling when using AI tools
- Building and maintaining a reusable front-desk prompt library
Delivery
Delivered in-person at the property or a local training venue; can be adapted to remote delivery via video call with shared screen exercises. Participants use their own devices (phone or laptop). No software installation required, tools used are browser-based. Approximately 40% demonstration and 60% hands-on practice. A printed and digital prompt-library template is provided. Sessions can be split into two half-days to accommodate shift patterns.
What makes it work
- Building a shared, property-specific prompt library that all staff can access and update
- Assigning one 'AI champion' on the front-desk team to maintain templates and onboard new hires
- Setting a clear policy on which guest data may be entered into AI tools and which must not
- Running a short monthly review of AI outputs to catch quality drift and update prompts
Common mistakes
- Pasting raw guest PII (names, booking numbers, complaints) directly into public AI tools without anonymisation
- Using generic prompts that produce off-brand responses inconsistent with the property's tone
- Treating AI-generated review replies as final without a human read-through before posting
- Adopting AI tools ad hoc per individual staff member with no shared library or standards
When NOT to take this
This workshop is not the right fit for a large hotel group with a centralised IT department already deploying an enterprise CRM or AI guest-messaging platform, those teams need vendor-specific technical onboarding, not a general front-desk literacy session.
