For hotels

A front desk that speaks every language.

For boutique hotels, larger chains, and everything between — metcha helps your team meet every guest in the language they think in.

The problem

International guests are the largest single source of revenue for most hotels, and they arrive speaking dozens of different languages. The classic mitigations — multilingual staff at the front desk, printed key information in five languages, English as the lingua franca — all work, partially. They break down at the edges: a maintenance request explained over a phone, a concierge recommendation that needs nuance, a guest with a serious dietary restriction trying to ask about breakfast.

What guests experience

  1. Guest walks up to the front desk and starts speaking in their language.
  2. The agent offers a clean earbud (or asks the guest to keep one of their own).
  3. metcha picks up the pair automatically; the agent hears the guest in English and replies normally.
  4. The whole exchange takes the time of a normal conversation — no held-up phones, no scripted phrases.

Setting it up at your venue

  • A dedicated iPhone behind the front desk on a charging dock, signed in and unlocked for staff use.
  • A small set of sanitized loaner earbuds in a charging tray — Apple, Beats, or whichever brand fits your aesthetic.
  • A discrete sign at the desk: "Speak another language? We do too." in 6–8 of your most common guest languages.
  • Housekeeping and maintenance can use the same iPhone for room-level interactions or carry their own with metcha installed.

Run a pilot with us

We're working with a small number of venues to shape what metcha looks like in practice. If your hotels might benefit, we'd love to talk.
