SDS for Hotels, Resorts & Villas

Hotels and villas need more than a kitchen screen. Raffs Sync SDS coordinates room service, in-villa dining, kitchens, bars, and guest communication in one real-time flow.

Raffs Sync SDS for Hotels & Villas overview
SDS coordinates tasks across stations and teams, then pushes status updates to connected systems β€” including WhatsApp guest messaging.

The problem with traditional KDS in hotels

  • Kitchen screens don’t understand room numbers or villa names.
  • Bar, kitchen, and service teams work in silos.
  • Staff rely on calls, radios, or ad-hoc WhatsApp groups.
  • Guests chase updates instead of receiving them automatically.
  • Management lacks real-time visibility.

Hotel service is multi-step and multi-location. SDS exists because KDS stops too early.

How SDS solves hotel & villa service

SDS coordinates service from order placement to guest delivery β€” automatically.

🧾 Order context

  • Room number or villa name
  • Guest name
  • Service type
  • Requested delivery time

πŸ”€ Intelligent routing

  • Kitchen receives food items
  • Bar receives beverages
  • Pass assembles the order
  • Service team notified automatically

⏱️ Timers & visibility

  • Live prep timers
  • Delay indicators
  • Escalations
  • Clear ownership

Typical room service flow

  1. Guest places order via POS, QR, tablet, or concierge.
  2. SDS distributes tasks to kitchen, bar, and prep stations.
  3. Stations work with timers and shared visibility.
  4. Order completed and handed to service.
  5. Guest notified automatically via WhatsApp.

WhatsApp as part of the service infrastructure

πŸ“² Guest messages

  • Order confirmation
  • Preparation started
  • Out for delivery
  • Delivered

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Internal alerts

  • Delays

SDS triggers WhatsApp messages based on service events β€” not staff memory.
