. By implementing a check out procedure through the app, guests with no issue with their final bill do not have to be set back in their day from waiting in line if another guest is having a problem.
Room Service Delivery Operations:
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Terrapin Terrace, there is an imbalance in the amount of hours scheduled and the amount of covers in regard to room service. There are too many hours scheduled for the amount of covers on these days. There are not enough hours scheduled on Monday through Thursday. This imbalance is most likely occurring because weekends are usually expected to be busier times, but in this case they are about the same. On average, it costs Terrapin Terrace about $32,000 just to pay
the room service deliverers for their services, not including the cost of the food delivered. We suggest that Terrapin Terrace collects data that will help them decide if featuring online ordering for room service on their app. This could be achieved by gathering statistics, administering surveys, and focus groups. If it is found that guests will use an online ordering app, Terrapin can eliminate some hours paid to workers answering phones and reduce the time spent taking orders. This will enable the delivery employees to focus almost entirely on delivering to rooms. They can also focus on streamlining the delivery process, in order to make it faster and effective. Guests will be more inclined to order with their mobile phone than calling with the rooms cord phone. This is due to the fact that 64% of adults in the U.S. own a smartphone, making them technologically savvy and likely to have an accessible smartphone (Smith). They can order instantly and even order room service on their way back to the hotel, instead of buying lunch or dinner on the way, or ordering from their room when they arrive. With online ordering, guests will be able to customize their order, without a long phone conversation with an employee. This will also reduce the amount of mistakes made with orders, because things are often misheard on the phone, and sometimes employees forget to ask certain information of the customer; i.e. the way a steak is preferred to be cooked. This will reduce food waste and customer dissatisfaction. Taking out the middle-man in room service ordering will decrease costs for Terrapin Terrace in the long run and benefit busy guests, who are either professionals on business trips or tourists in the city.

Since the card is inserted in the card reader located at the bottom of the reader, it takes anywhere from “5 to 15 seconds” for the reader to read the chip, and then a signature is required to complete the transaction. If the card is removed before the transaction is done, the cardholder must reenter the card and restart the transaction process. At the checkout, there are still countless stores who have switched to the new readers, but have not set up the readers to their systems yet, leaving them to swipe their card. Many cardholders try to insert their card in the reader, just to be corrected to swipe, and as minor as it may sound, many Americans are annoyed by this. According to Hayley Tsukayama at The Washington Post, found that the “survey from the mobile payments firm, Square, has found that 91 percent of debit card users and 87 percent of credit card users have faced frustration with the new cards – mainly due to the time it takes to use them.” This all ties back to long and slow lines at the checkout counter that leave people frustrated. Several large retailers are concerned for the holiday season, since it is a retailer’s biggest sales time of the year. These retailers fear that the long lines and wait times at checkout will steer customers into online shopping or avoiding all together.

The Dakota apartments are apartments on the upper west side of Manhattan. These apartments were constructed during the years 1880-1884. The reason why these apartments are called the Dakota Apartments is because, at the time it was built, it was as remote and out of place like the Dakota Territory. The developer, Edward Clarke, introduced the concept of bringing wealthy living to New York City. However, the Dakota Apartments weren't originally meant for the super rich, but for mid to upper class people such as lawyers, and bankers, and businessmen. Citizens were first skeptical of living in the detached part of the city. Two decades later, though, people began to flock to the area and as a result it became a
Also the checking out process has been technologically advanced as it was observed that iPhones and iPads are used on the sales floor to see what items are in stock at the location or other locations and to help customers in making a purchase. Using these items help with the communication among staff and customers. After making a purchase, the associate that assisted them will more than likely follow up with a personalized thank you note and invite them back to the store. Customizing the product for the customer also increases the use of technology. The customer chooses what product they want and they ask an associate to engrave their name on it, making it their own personal
