Running a hotel means juggling hundreds of moving parts, staff, guests, suppliers, and services, all while trying to deliver a five-star experience. One of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in modern hotel operations is the electronic compendium.

If you’re still using printed in-room folders, you may be missing out on an opportunity to streamline operations, improve guest satisfaction, and generate more revenue. That’s where Connect & Stay, an easy-to-use electronic compendium for hotels, comes in.

The Downside of Traditional Hotel Compendiums
For years, printed guest books were the go-to method for delivering key information. But they’re no longer keeping up with the modern guest, or the demands of hotel management. Common frustrations include:

Printed guides becoming outdated within weeks

High costs to reprint or replace damaged folders

Guests overlooking paper-based info in favour of mobile content

Repeated staff interruptions for simple questions

Missed opportunities to upsell in-room services, spa bookings, or room upgrades

Ultimately, these issues lead to wasted time, unnecessary costs, and inconsistent guest experiences, all of which can impact your reviews and bottom line.

What Is an Electronic Compendium for Hotels?

An electronic compendium is a digital version of your in-room information folder, but it’s smarter, faster, and always up to date. Guests can access it instantly via QR code, tablet, or mobile device. No app downloads, no confusion.

At Connect & Stay, we’ve built our platform specifically for the hospitality industry, with the flexibility, branding, and features hotels need to stay ahead.

How Connect & Stay Transforms the Guest Experience

1. Deliver a Seamless, Contact-Free Experience
Guests want instant answers especially after hours. With Connect & Stay, all hotel information is available 24/7. Room service menus, check-out times, spa hours, how to use the aircon, it’s all there in one centralised location.

2. Reduce Staff Workload and Save Time
No more phone calls for Wi-Fi passwords or how to work the coffee machine. When guests have a digital resource they can rely on, your front desk and housekeeping teams gain valuable time back in their day.

3. Upsell With Subtle, Non-Intrusive Prompts
From breakfast in bed to guided tours, Connect & Stay allows you to promote additional services and offers inside your compendium. Guests can browse and book without pressure, leading to higher conversion rates and more revenue per stay.

4. Reflect Your Brand with a Custom Look and Feel
Generic tech solutions don’t reflect the uniqueness of your hotel. Connect & Stay allows full branding, imagery, and design options so your electronic compendium feels like a natural extension of your guest experience, not a third-party add-on.

5. Real-Time Updates Across All Rooms
Need to change check-out time or update restaurant hours? No problem. With Connect & Stay, you can make instant changes across all rooms at once, no reprints, no delays, no hassle.

6. Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Reduce paper waste, eliminate printing costs, and align with sustainability goals, all while delivering a more polished experience.
