WrkSpot Pioneers New Vision of ‘Smart Hotels’ Through Employee Mobile App to Streamline Hotel...
ARCADIA, Calif., May 2, 2023 (Newswire.com) - WrkSpot's CEO and Founder, Raja Epsilon, and his team have produced an employee mobile app that transforms hotel operations by saving time, empowering employees, and providing a better guest experience.
"When employees are happy with their work, they give better customer service," Epsilon said. "Historically, there has been a lack of employee engagement in the hotel industry. That's why providing employees with a mobile app geared for them and their workflow fixes this problem and results in a better guest experience."
According to PhoneSuite, the hospitality industry is being pressured to evolve because customers are expecting faster service. "If you look at hotel operations, we see that the guest experience is at the top of the funnel," Epsilon said. "Everyone talks about the guest experience, and what we tend to forget is the people who drive that experience are the hosts, which are the hoteliers."
WrkSpot's app incorporates hotel productivity and operational efficiency while providing advantages for employees, including hotel safety.
"Say, for example, that a high-stress situation is occurring, and the WrkSpot app shows that an employee in Room 303 has not moved at all for 10 minutes," Epsilon said. "We may not know if this employee is ill or unconscious; however, the app will be able to pinpoint this employee's exact location, allowing the hotel to send vital aid to them."
Additionally, the WrkSpot app allows hotel employees to quickly and efficiently take pictures, videos, and voice recordings as they do their job, providing them the ability to rapidly flag and take care of any mishaps. With this technology, hoteliers can identify potential issues as well as the exact location of any occurrence that requires immediate attention.
With the cost of smartphones decreasing every year, a budget smartphone starting at $120, for example, can be an effective investment for hotel labor management. "A hotel operator can pay off a budget smartphone of $120 at as little as $5 per month for two years. For those $5, the employee is now empowered with a variety of tools that make it easier to complete their jobs and also provides an equal playing field between the host and the guests," Epsilon said.
Current Utility and the Future of Smartphones
Smartphones have become the Swiss knife of everyday life. Starting from staying connected with near and dear ones, to managing daily health activities, banking with biometric authentication, scheduling, flashlight, QR code scanning of a digital menu, digital ticketing and much more - without a smartphone, it's impossible to stay current and efficient in this digitally connected world. Depriving a housekeeper access to smartphones in the USA while the rest of the world has been much more progressive is a major setback - especially with the USA being such an advanced nation. The future of smartphones is rapidly evolving and modern technology will soon invade the hotel backoffice operations. In a matter of months, 5G connectivity of gigabit speed will be the norm. In a decade, 6G speed of terabyte will be the new norm. Battery usage issues in phones will soon be revolutionized where wireless charging will be the norm and smart applications will empower hotel employees to match the smart guest. It is time hotel owners take a bold step and give hotel employees smartphones to carry the power of technology in their pockets and not on spreadsheets and manual paper.
WrkSpot's app can also make employees more efficient by signing a policy on the phone instead of having to walk back to the office to deal with hotel compliance issues. "If you need an important document to be signed, you can have the employee sign within a few minutes using their phone, and you can be immediately compliant," Epsilon said. "A smartphone is such a powerful tool that carries end-to-end workflows, whether it's documents, training, or managing their timecard."
About WrkSpot
Founded in 2017, WrkSpot is the developer of a revolutionary software suite for hotel portfolio management that integrates HRIS, operations management, and communication in a single app. By managing and engaging staff, controlling costs, streamlining operations, and improving compliance and safety, WrkSpot allows hotel managers to avoid being bogged down by the unavoidable details of hotel operations.

Study Reveals the World’s Best Observation Decks for Travelers on a Budget
BERLIN, May 2, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Omio, Europe's leading booking platform for travel, has released a ranking of the world's most affordable observation decks. The study analyzes the entrance fees for the 70 most popular viewing platforms in the world, followed by an offset of the ticket prices against the official height of the building. The result is a well-curated list of the best views for the best price.
In almost every city, observation decks are among the most popular attractions for tourists. This ranking reveals the wide range of ticket prices, starting at $1.14 for the Torre Panorâmica in Curitiba (Brazil) to the Empire State Building in New York City (United States), where the entrance costs around $79.
"Top of Africa" offers the best price for money
The popular viewing platform "Top of Africa" (732ft) on the top floor of the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg offers visitors a unique panoramic view as far as Soweto and the best deal for the money. The entrance fee only costs $1.67 and beats all other observation decks surveyed in the price per foot category ($0.002 per ft). The deck is finally scheduled to reopen in summer 2023.
Table 1: Top 10 best observation decks for travelers on a budget.
| Destination | Observation deck | Height | Ticket | Price per ft. | |
| 1 | Johannesburg, South Africa | Top of Africa | 732ft | $1.67 | $0.002 |
| 2 | Istanbul, Turkey | Istanbul Sapphire | 856ft | $2.68 | $0.003 |
| 3 | Curitiba, Brazil | Torre Panorâmica | 359ft | $1.14 | $0.003 |
| 4 | Riga, Latvia | Riga TV tower | 1,207ft | $3.96 | $0.003 |
| 5 | Cairo, Egypt | Cairo Tower | 614ft | $2.14 | $0.004 |

| 10 | Warsaw, Poland | Palace of Culture and Science | 945ft | $5.68 | $0.007 |
From $24 to $79: Observation decks in the US are expensive
The Empire State Building in New York City is probably the most famous observation platform in the world. The viewing deck attracts around 3.5 million visitors per year. The study reveals that visiting a skydeck in the US is rather expensive. The most expensive observation deck is the Empire State Building and a ticket to the 102nd floor costs around $79.
Good that the Big Apple offers plenty of alternatives. The deck of the One World Trade Center only costs about $47 and a ticket to the Top of the Rock observation deck costs about $43.
The Statue of Liberty offers the worst deal for travelers. The monument that includes a viewing deck in the crown is only 305ft tall but one ticket costs $24. A ticket to The Strat in Las Vegas is also around $24 but at least the building is 1,148ft tall.
The best deal for an observation deck in the US is the Willis Tower in Chicago. A ticket to the visitors' floor on top of the 1,450ft-tall building costs only $30.
