Subramanian, Head - Operations, IDS, said There are new paradigms that the solution introduces to the industry. Firstlysetting up service levels and secondly tracking and ensuring that pre-determinedservice levels are maintained on a routine basis. The solution would go a long wayin helping the hospitality industry better its service level over a period of time.Caring from a hospitality sense would find new meaning and attain newer heightsunder Fortune Care.Â
Fortune Care helps in automatic escalation of request/complaints or incidents thatare overdue, be it informing the VIP status of a guest to the housekeeper, orletting the HOD / general manager know that extra soap or extra towel tops the listof guest incidents. Fortune Care helps set pre-defined timeframe for servicedeliveries which once set, has to be adhered to, creating a new standard benchmarkfor servicing a guest.
