【Pre check-in】AI Passport Photo Check Added

We’ve added a new feature that uses AI to check passport photos uploaded during Pre check-in!

【Pre check-in】AI Passport Photo Check Added

If a guest uploads an image that is not a passport photo or cannot be recognized properly, they will be prompted to re-upload it.

【Pre check-in】AI Passport Photo Check Added

Useful in situations like these

  • Preventing guests from accidentally uploading photos other than their passport

  • Reducing the time spent checking guest information one by one

  • Checking passport information for international guests more efficiently

→ Since guests can confirm their uploads themselves, this helps reduce the amount of verification work required before check-in and makes operations smoother.

※This feature is available for properties using Check-in Pro and applies to international guests.

By selecting “The day before holiday” in the Price Calendar or price rank settings, the pre-holiday price will automatically be applied to dates where the following day is a holiday.

📅 Consecutive holidays are also supported

When holidays fall on consecutive days, each day except the final day is treated as “The day before holiday.”
For example, if there are three consecutive holidays, the first and second days can be set as days before a holiday.

※Holidays are determined based on the country where the property is located. Supported countries and regions are Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea.

【Checkin Management】Activity Column and New Filter Added!

We’ve updated Checkin Management so you can check guest status more smoothly!

This update adds a new column and filter to the list view.

1️⃣ “Activity” Column Added

【Checkin Management】Activity Column and New Filter Added!

The new “Activity” column lets you see directly from the list whether the following information has been added:

  • comment

  • Guest Remark

  • ToDo

→ This makes it easier to see whether a reservation requires any action without opening the reservation details.

2️⃣ “Guest Info” Filter Added

【Checkin Management】Activity Column and New Filter Added!

The new “Guest Info” filter allows you to filter reservations based on whether Pre check-in has been completed.

→ For example, you can quickly find reservations for guests who have not yet completed Pre check-in.

These improvements make it easier to check information before check-in and share information among staff.
We hope you find them useful in your daily check-in operations!

【Check-in】Additional Authentication Features Updated

We’ve updated the additional authentication settings used during check-in, including identity verification and signatures!

【Check-in】Additional Authentication Features Updated

Previously, when setting up an Onsite Identity Verification Method, such as AI Facial Recognition or photo capture, the required fields also had to be configured in the guest form in advance.

With this update, simply selecting the identity verification method you want to use will automatically apply the required settings.

This eliminates the need to configure the same settings twice, making setup easier.

📷 Expanded “Selfie at Property” Settings!

For identity verification using Selfie at Property, we’ve added a new option: “Foreigners: Required / Locals: Main Guest Only.”

This allows you to require selfies from international guests while requiring only the main guest for domestic guests, giving you greater flexibility based on your property’s operations.

The update makes it easier to configure the settings required for identity verification, making check-in operations even more convenient. We hope you find it useful!

【User management】More Flexible Staff Permission Settings

We’ve updated staff permission settings so that the menus displayed to each staff member can now be configured in greater detail!

【User management】More Flexible Staff Permission Settings

【User management】More Flexible Staff Permission Settings

With more flexible permission settings, you can display only the information and features each staff member needs based on their role.

For example, you can:

  • Show only reports to property owners without displaying reservation or cleaning information

  • Hide Reservations from staff members who do not handle reservation information

By limiting access to only the information and features each staff member needs, you can manage staff accounts more securely and flexibly.
