NEW YORK, July 5, 2016 – ALICE, a SaaS platform that completely connects all service departments within a hotel and connects the guest to the property, announced that Hotel Zephyr, one of San Francisco’s newest boutique hotels, has adopted its ALICE STAFF solution.

Hotel Zephyr is the first property in Davidson Hotels & Resorts’ new lifestyle & luxury collection, Pivot Hotels & Resorts. ALICE STAFF is the only complete, easy to use request management software that connects front-desk, housekeeping, maintenance and F&B teams in real-time, providing quick and simple ticket management, monitoring for completion time, and real-time mobile app for service staff on the move.

By better connecting hotel associates, ALICE STAFF is helping Hotel Zephyr enjoy cost savings and take better care of its guests at the same time.

“We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Hotel Zephyr, one of the most exciting and innovative hotels to arrive on the San Francisco scene in a very long time, ” said Alex Shashou, ALICE’s Co-Founder and President.
