ATLANTA — NCR Corp. announced in a news release a new kiosk for hoteliers who want a smaller footprint and easy-to-manage design.
Available as a freestanding, countertop or wall-mounted kiosk, the solution features a manual card encoder, which allows for a smaller, value-priced self-service kiosk solution.
The hardware includes a key dispenser to hold blank room keys. Guests checking in via the kiosk can insert a blank room key from the dispenser into the key encoder. Once the room key is encoded and returned to the guest, the integrated self-service printer provides the room number and guest-stay confirmation.
"This latest version of NCR EasyPoint Xpress Check-In opens new opportunities for small- to medium-sized hoteliers who want to provide their guests with the convenience and efficiency of self-service," said Mike Webster, vice president and general manager of NCR Self-Service. "In addition to leveraging the proven NCR EasyPoint kiosk platform, the manual card encoder enables us to offer a highly-effective self-service check-in solution that requires a lower capital investment, space and resources."
The NCR EasyPoint Xpress Check-In kiosk with manual key encoding will be among the latest technology solutions demonstrated in the NCR booth (#1500) at the 2006 HITEC show in Minneapolis, June 19-22.
