For hotels, lodges and guest houses · United Arab Emirates

Stop losing bookings to unanswered messages.Answer every guest from one inbox.EliteTeQ Inbox for hotels, lodges, guest houses and serviced apartments in the United Arab Emirates

A guest asks about a room for the weekend at 11pm. Reception is checking someone in, the night shift doesn’t have the sales phone, and by morning the guest has booked elsewhere.

EliteTeQ Inbox lets reception, reservations, events and the restaurant answer guests from one shared inbox. Every booking enquiry has an owner, waiting guests rise to the top, and conference or wedding enquiries are tracked to a deposit. Staff in Dubai and Abu Dhabi or anywhere else answer from one +971 business number, with office hours on Dubai time (GST).

    Everyone on shift answers the same number from their own login, on a computer at the desk or on a phone.

  2. We quoted a conference package and never followed up.

EliteTeQ Inbox in the United Arab Emirates

EliteTeQ Inbox works for hotels, lodges, guest houses and serviced apartments in the United Arab Emirates on your existing +971 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Dubai and Abu Dhabi or anywhere else.

In the UAE, customers expect a fast answer on WhatsApp from shops, clinics and service businesses. With staff on shifts, EliteTeQ Inbox shows who owns each chat and how long the customer has been waiting.

Customers in the UAE write in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog and more. Your team replies in the customer’s language inside the 24-hour window; template messages can currently be created in English.

The UAE moved to a Saturday–Sunday weekend in 2022, with a short Friday. Office hours are set day by day for each number, so Friday can close early. Customers who write after hours get your away message, at most once every 12 hours.

Selling on WhatsApp in the United Arab Emirates

Customers in United Arab Emirates pay with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, contactless, and bank transfers, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

Ras Al Khaimah

Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah · the northernmost emirate of the UAE

Ras Al Khaimah combines resort tourism with manufacturing and free-zone business, so demand mixes visitor peaks with steady local and trade custom. Resort tourism brings seasonal visitor peaks on top of manufacturing and free-zone trade. Booking requests from Ras Al Khaimah reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.

Dubai

Emirate of Dubai · a global trade, tourism and retail hub

Dubai's retail environment is among the most card-dominant and internationally exposed anywhere: customers arrive from dozens of countries, expect contactless and digital wallet payment as standard, and rarely use cash. Customers arrive from dozens of countries expecting contactless and wallet payment as standard, and mall-based retail means several outlets under one operator. Booking requests from Dubai reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.

Abu Dhabi

Emirate of Abu Dhabi · the United Arab Emirates' capital

Abu Dhabi's trade is anchored by government, energy-sector and institutional activity, which gives it steadier demand and a higher share of corporate account billing than Dubai's tourism-driven retail. Government, energy-sector and institutional activity give steadier demand and far more corporate account billing than Dubai's visitor-driven retail. Booking requests from Abu Dhabi reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
