Elevating the Nightclub Experience- Decoding the Art of VIP Bottle Service

The grand unveiling, the meticulous pouring, and the glassware are choreographed to elevate the act of serving a drink into a captivating performance. Every detail, from the glittering decanter to the perfectly carved ice, heightens anticipation, making the VIP presentation an integral part of the overall mystique of going out. It transforms the mere act of serving a drink into an experience, engaging sight, sound, and taste.

The marked-up price of bottle service isn't just for the alcohol; it's a ticket to an elevated experience where every aspect, from the presentation to the atmosphere, resonates with the notion of being a VIP. It's a conscious decision to partake in a level of indulgence that goes beyond the ordinary.

GoTab’s Nightclub POS seamlessly weaves the threads of nightlife operations and customer experience, ensuring that the essence of VIP bottle service remains intact while introducing modern conveniences.

Insufficient Funds Protection- A Financial Guardian for Seamless Indulgence

This financial guardian ensures that patrons can indulge in the VIP treatment without financial interruptions, offering a seamless blend of extravagance and practicality. It's a reassurance that the VIP experience is not only luxurious but also aligned with the practical considerations of modern transactions.

Through frictionless reservations, VIPs enjoy an automated tab created on the day of their booking, initiating their night of opulence with swift orders and uninterrupted enjoyment. It's a prelude to the VIP experience, ensuring that every moment is dedicated to enjoyment rather than logistical concerns. GoTab becomes the invisible hand ensuring that the night unfolds seamlessly, leaving patrons free to savor every element of their VIP bottle service.

Situated “in the heart of it all, yet tranquil enough to make you feel away from it all too,” The Limelight Hotel Snowmass offers 99 hotel rooms and 11 residences, as well as footsteps-to-gondola access in winter and summer — right in the middle of Snowmass Base Village.

The Situation

Especially over the last few years, the Limelight Hotels IT team had witnessed a significant shift to contactless technology in the hospitality industry. After evaluating friction points in the guest journey, aligning with modern technology platforms in their restaurant was determined to be an effective way to offer elevated contactless dining experiences to their guests while also evolving their technology platforms to continue to support long-term company goals. Limelight Hotel partnered with GoTab to provide an enhanced on-demand dining experience on par with the brand’s reputation for exceptional guest service.

The Solution

Reducing Staff Touch Points Without Sacrificing Guest Experience

Guests are now able to begin a tab from their room or the property’s restaurant by scanning a QR code, texting a link to friends or family members on the ski slope to add in their orders, then meeting up together at the patio or lodge to enjoy their meal and après ski festivities without interruption. By streamlining tasks like inputting orders and processing payments, this eliminates friction for hotel staff and allows them to focus on delivering renowned guest service for a memorable experience. Since partnering with GoTab, Limelight Snowmass has consistently seen higher check averages and sales.

“We found the Point of Sale platforms we were looking at offered the guest and staff limited opportunities to further reduce touch points or improve the traditional restaurant experience. The GoTab platform enabled the guest to take an active role over the flow of their experience while simultaneously reducing touch points and further streamlining restaurant operations.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group

According to the Limelight Hotels team, some of the other platforms that were evaluated were either missing some of the pieces they were looking for, had weak customer support models, or had little willingness to develop integrations to existing hotel platforms already in place. To that end, GoTab integrated with cloud-based platform, Infor. Together, GoTab and Infor are providing dynamic solutions to support central, efficient service across hotel amenities and deliver exceptional guest experiences.

“Previously, guests would call down to the restaurant to begin an order from their room or while they were out enjoying the ski slopes. Using GoTab, guests can now place orders from anywhere on the resort, giving them the on-demand service they want without interrupting their day. GoTab empowers us to give control to the guest, reducing touch points and streamlining overall restaurant operations, making Limelight Hotel the resort of choice for Snowmass.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group

Since introducing GoTab, The Limelight Hotel has seen a consistent level of upsells and items sold per check resulting in additional revenue capture. They have been able to maintain service levels in their restaurants during periods when there was reduced staffing available without significantly diminishing the guest experience.
