Hotel self-service kiosks lack a clear starting point

Check-in, check-out and other service information appear together, leaving guests unsure where to begin.

Research Focus: Hospitality, Retail, and Service DevicesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Map task sequences and staff support around the purpose of each guest's visit.
  2. Prioritize core tasks and reveal secondary services when needed.
  3. Test whether first-time visitors can use the kiosk independently and find help when needed.

Key Deliverables

  • Guest Task Map
  • Self-Service Interface
  • Service Coordination Flow

Verification Approach

Compare entry-point choices, task completion, and staff assistance.
