Business texting made easy for hotels & Hospitality Venues
Communicating with your guests shouldn’t be hard. But the endless games of phone tag and the lost email chains can turn simple conversations into a big headache if you’re not careful. It’s time to connect with your guests the way they want to communicate – the same way they communicate with their friends.

With Captivated, you can forward conversations to empower other employees to help and leave important notes on guests so nothing is lost in translation. Your entire team will be able to tackle guest communications on one platform and you avoid the need to carbon copy people to death on personal texts. You’re taking potential obstacles out of our personal phone and making conversations move faster instead. Plus, you don’t have to worry that when employees leave your business they’ll take guest contacts with them.

No more phone calls. No waiting on email replies

Less than 1/3 of prospective guests will pick up the phone if you call. You can’t afford to inconvenience guests with voicemail and confusing phone tag games. Give them a better reason to communicate with your business.
