Short walkthroughs covering every key part of the Butler AI platform.
How to invite staff via email, what the invitation looks like, how staff create their account, and the manager approval flow.
How an ops manager assigns or reassigns a guest to a specific butler, and how workloads are balanced across the team.
How a guest initiates a voice call from the Butler web app, what the butler sees and hears, and how to respond correctly.
How a butler opens a guest chat, sees pending messages, and uses AI-powered reply suggestions to respond quickly and accurately.
When and why notifications are sent, which channels are used (push, email, in-app), and how butlers stay on top of incoming requests.
Step-by-step: open Butler AI in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen → Add. Works on iPhone and iPad — no App Store needed.
More videos are on the way
We're recording additional walkthroughs for Majestic Resorts — including guest contact methods and notifications. Cards marked Recording soon will be updated automatically once ready.
There are two ways a guest can connect via QR. Each works differently — use the right one for the right situation.
Hotel QR Code
Guest registers, then an Ops Manager assigns a butler manually. Best for front desk, rooms, and printed collateral.
Butler's Personal QR
Guest is auto-assigned directly to that butler — no ops manager action needed. Best for poolside and dining introductions.
Hotel QR Code — Generic
Scan to register as a guest
Guest registers and enters the system — but a butler is not yet assigned. The Ops Manager must assign a butler from the dashboard.
Print and place at front desk, rooms, pool, and dining areas.
Where to find QR codes in the dashboard
Go to Sidebar → Common → Settings
Select the QR Codes tab
Butler's Personal QR — auto-assignment
Every butler has their own unique QR code, accessible from the home screen of the butler app. When a guest scans a butler's personal QR, they are immediately and automatically assigned to that butler — the Ops Manager does not need to do anything.
Butlers should show or print their personal QR for poolside introductions, dining, and any direct guest contact moment.
Tip: Each hotel property has its own unique QR code. You can download, print, or share it as an image directly from the QR Codes tab.
Guests who scan either code are taken to a registration page — no app download required. Once registered, they can message their butler directly.
From morning setup to live oversight — what managers do, when, and what they see on screen.
Invite staff & approve accounts
Before the system goes live, invite each butler and ops manager by email. New accounts wait for manager approval before they can log in.
Watch: Staff Invitation & Approval
Invite email → account creation → manager approval flow
Assign guests to butlers each morning
Open the Operations Dashboard to see all checked-in guests. Drag or select to assign each guest to the right butler based on floor, wing, or workload. Reassign at any time during the day — chat history follows the guest.
Butler Assignment view — all checked-in guests listed with their current assigned butler. Click any row to reassign.

Assigning, reassigning, and balancing workloads
Monitor team availability and open requests
Throughout the day, check who is online, which butlers have unread messages, and if any requests are approaching the escalation threshold. The dashboard refreshes in real time — no need to reload.
Configure notification settings & install the app
Ensure escalation alerts are routed to the right managers. Walk each staff member through enabling push notifications and installing the web app to their home screen — this is the single most important setup step.

Install the app & enable notifications before your first shift
Log in at heybutler.io/staff-login from your phone. Install it to your home screen (your manager will walk you through this) and allow push notifications when prompted. This ensures you receive call alerts and message notifications even when your phone is locked.

Share your personal QR code with guests at check-in
Every butler has a unique QR code. Show it on your phone or print it for your section. When a guest scans it, they are connected directly to you — no front desk needed. Ideal for poolside and dining introductions.

Respond to messages and answer incoming calls
