Story
The night shift without the night shift
A real-world guest journey during peak Lapland season.
Pyha is calm, but arrival nights are not. Guests land late, cabins are spread out, and every traveler still needs ID checks.
Sunday Morning Collection wanted to keep the welcome personal while removing paperwork from the lobby. Butler AI became the layer that runs after hours but still feels like the team.
Now the flow starts before travel, Matkustajailmoitus is finished on mobile, and staff only step in when a human touch is needed.
Trigger at booking
Mews sends the reservation, Butler AI starts the pre-arrival sequence.
ID collection in motion
The passenger card is completed on a phone with gentle reminders.
Staff handoff
The dashboard shows a clean profile so staff can focus on hospitality.
Executive summary
Sunday Morning Collection needed a digital front desk that could keep up with late arrivals and seasonal bursts in Pyha. The team wanted compliance and upsells without adding overnight staff. Butler AI connected to Mews and now handles most guest questions, check-in, and pre-arrival tasks before guests reach the lobby.
- Mews sync for reservations and guest status
- Matkustajailmoitus completed before arrival
- Automated upsells for sauna, dining, and activities
- Multi-language guest messaging on WhatsApp and web
Property facts
The challenge
When the ski season peaks, arrivals stack up after hours. Manual ID checks and repeated questions were pulling staff away from the welcome experience. The resort needed a system that could operate quietly in the background without losing the human tone.
“We needed to stay responsive without adding night staff.”
