Executive summary

Quest Penrith, a 115-room property in Sydney, partnered with RMS Cloud to streamline check-ins, simplify payments, and enhance guest experience. Facing challenges with manual processes, chargebacks, and onboarding efficiency, the team implemented RMS PAY, the Guest Portal, and a cloud-based PMS. These tools enabled guest-initiated payments, automated check-ins, and rapid staff training.

As a result, Quest Penrith now processes 70 arrivals in under five minutes, has achieved zero chargebacks since 2023, and significantly reduced human error—freeing up staff to focus on delivering exceptional guest service.

Before the grand unveiling of RMS Pay, our manual payment process felt like a cumbersome anchor, dragging on our daily rhythm with its time-consuming nature.

Challenges

  • Check-ins were too manual
    Manual processes at the front desk were slowing things down. A more streamlined approach was needed.
  • Payments were a hurdle
    Processing chargebacks and disputes took time and added complexity.
  • Onboarding needed to be easy
    Fast growth means fast training. Onboarding had to be simple. The property management system needed to be intuitive so that new staff could get started quickly and easily.
