Application of Smart Self-Service Terminal Motherboards RK3288/RK3568 in Hotel Front Desk Self-Service Kiosk Solutions, Supporting HarmonyOS and Free Customization
The Hotel Front Desk Self-Service Kiosk Solution is based on self-service terminals, enabling guests to complete check-in/check-out with simple operations. This significantly improves hotel operational efficiency, enhances guest experience, and reduces labor costs.

This solution addresses the following pain points of traditional front desk check-in methods:
- High traffic and delayed reception
- Long guest queuing times
- Insufficient staffing during hotel peak hours
- Guest privacy protection concerns

Project Business Requirements

-
Touchscreen Operation: Supports touchscreen operation, allowing guests to tap on the screen to self-check-in, check-out, extend their stay, print invoices, manage membership, and perform other operations.
-
ID Card Recognition: Supports ID card recognition, allowing guests to place their ID card directly on the terminal. The system will automatically read the ID card information and fill in the check-in registration form, avoiding the tediousness and errors of manual data entry.
-
Facial Recognition: Supports facial recognition. During registration, the terminal will require guests to perform facial recognition and compare the recognition results with their ID card information to ensure identity verification.
-
Payment Function: To facilitate guests paying room fees, the self-service terminal can integrate payment functions, supporting various payment methods such as bank cards, Alipay, and WeChat Pay. Guests can complete payment directly on the terminal after registration.
-
Check-in Credential Printing: After completing registration and payment, the self-service terminal can automatically print check-in credentials, such as room cards and invoices. Guests can then directly access their rooms with these credentials.
