What’s inside
Seven challenges, what good looks like for each one, and where a connected guest platform helps, with a self check to test them.
Arrival day and changeover
Arrivals bunch into a few hours of changeover day, reception queues build, and late arrivals find the office shut.
Wet days and finding the way
Rain sends every guest indoors at once, and the printed map cannot show the way to a pitch or which path is step free.
Notices, safety and a seasonal team
Getting changes to the guests they affect, and giving seasonal staff the same current answers.
Fixing problems and seeing how the park is used
Hearing about problems while guests are still on park, and planning hours and staffing from evidence.
