Do staff need to install an app?
No. Porter works via WhatsApp, SMS, or any messaging channel your staff already use.
Porter gives your frontline staff instant answers about your SOPs, systems, and service standards — on their phone, in their language. Any shift. Any question.
We're building with a small number of hotel partners first. If you want to be one of them, reach out.
Guest is asking to extend checkout to 2pm. What's the policy and how do I put it through Opera?
Late checkout is available until 2pm, subject to availability. To process: go to Opera → Reservations → [guest name] → Departure date → Add Late Checkout package. Standard charge applies unless they're Gold or above.

Most hotel training ends when the shadow shifts do. New staff get a folder of SOPs and a few days with a senior colleague. Then they're on the floor alone. When something comes up mid-shift, they can't easily ask what they're ashamed not to know — so they guess, Google it, or get it wrong with a guest watching.
This isn't a training problem. It's an access problem.
They message Porter the way they'd text a colleague — plain language, in their own language — and get the right answer in seconds, sourced from your property's documentation.
You upload your SOPs, service standards, and system guides once. No app install. No corporate login to remember. No chasing a busy manager for something that should've been searchable.
Live within a week
Once. Everything staff reference mid-shift belongs here.
In any language your property supports.
Cited so staff know it's from your playbook — not generic advice.
What operators feel first
No new dashboards. Porter meets staff exactly where escalation already starts — thumbs on glass, headsets on.
We're building with a small number of hotel partners first. If you want to be one of them, raise your hand — we'll come back within a couple of days.
No. Porter works via WhatsApp, SMS, or any messaging channel your staff already use.
SOPs, brand standards, PMS guides, room type descriptions, menus, guest handling scripts — anything your staff reference during a shift.
English plus the primary languages your staff speak — we configure this per property (more languages on request).
Most properties are live within a week of uploading their documents.
Staff get answers from your documents only. Nothing is shared externally. Happy to walk you through the data architecture.
We're pricing in partnership with early operators — we'll share specifics based on your property size.
