Share your personal QR code with guests
Every butler has a unique QR code accessible from the home screen. When a guest scans it they are immediately connected directly to you — no front desk needed. Ideal for poolside and dining introductions.
Your personal QR
You can show this QR on your phone screen or print it for your section. The guest scans it once and you're connected for their entire stay.
Reply to guest messages using AI suggestions
Open a guest chat to see their messages. The chat interface provides AI-powered reply suggestions so you can respond quickly and accurately. Tap a suggestion to use it or edit it before sending.

Mark requests as resolved
Once a guest's request has been fulfilled, mark it as resolved in the chat. This keeps your queue clean and lets the ops manager see accurate team workloads at a glance.

Butler verification checklist
Enable push notifications and keep the web app open in a pinned tab during your shift for fastest response times.
Notifications are how you know a guest needs you. Getting this right before your first shift is critical — a missed alert means a missed request.

Enable alerts for new messages, calls, and escalations
Install to Home Screen
iOS, Android & desktop — enables lock screen alerts
How to enable notifications: Go to Settings → Notifications inside the Butler AI app, then allow notifications when your browser prompts you.
Notifications are sent the moment a guest sends a message or initiates a call — you'll be alerted even when the app is in the background.
Install the app to your home screen for lock screen alerts. Without this, push notifications may not arrive when your phone is locked.
Use the Install Butler AI banner at the top of this page for step-by-step instructions on iPhone and Android.
