The future we see at Atlantis, The Palm is a solution delivered by a web application and this is why we have embarked on the project with wi-Q Technologies

Post this

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 September 2017 -- Leading the way in the provision of a mobile ordering solution for guests, Atlantis, The Palm and wi-Q Technologies launched the ambitious project in February 2017 and to date have seen exceedingly successful results. The site allows Atlantis guests to browse the pool and beach food and beverage offering via their browser and order at the click of a button. Instead of downloading an application, guests can log onto the app via any Internet browser in their preferred language, order from a vast menu and pay via cash, card or charge to their room. Additional functions allow guests to call a waiter, track the progress of their order and provide dietary requirements to the Atlantis team.

To date this has seen increasingly successful results, receiving thousands of orders since launch and tracking a steady rise in the numbers of orders per day as guests familiarise themselves with the mobile ordering process. With trending orders leading towards soft drinks such as Coca Cola, water and children’s meals such as Chicken Tenders to date, the process has secured into the thousands of Dirhams in terms of incremental revenue, with incremental spend also increasing day by day.

Anthony Lynsdale, Vice President of IT at Atlantis, The Palm comments, “80% of hospitality businesses in the region don’t yet offer a mobile ordering solution, or if they are, it tends to be an inferior offering whereby the customer has to download an app. I believe that apps have peaked and customers don’t want them clogging up their devices any more. The future we see at Atlantis, The Palm is a solution delivered by a web application and this is why we have embarked on the project with wi-Q Technologies.”

“Whilst our results have been strong so far, the steady increase in usage and incremental spend suggests that our guests will soon be ready to use this solution across the resort in all outdoor outlets.”

Dubai Tourism’s vision is to attract 20 million visitors per year by 2020, and with Atlantis seeing an occupancy rate 93% on average, with an 11% increase year on year in the first five months of 2017, the destination resort sits at the heart of Dubai’s booming tourist industry. This positions Atlantis as the prime destination to lead the way in the usage of mobile orientated technology.

Graham Cornhill, Co-Founder of wi-Q Technologies said, “Working with Atlantis, The Palm on such an innovative project has been a very rewarding experience. They are at the forefront of the global hospitality industry and we are confident that our technology will not only keep up with their guests’ demands, but also facilitate the inclusion of other, emerging technologies. We look forward to watching their revenues increase as guests from around the world realize they no longer need to download an app to access guest services.”
