Agilysys
The Pathway to Sustainable Hospital

Nestled amid the scenic mountains and lakes from the British Columbia to Maine, the Boyne Resorts serve as favorite destinations for vacationers seeking lakeside views and ski routes. As an organization built around mountain recreation, golf, spa, and waterpark, etc., Boyne Resorts believes in seamless consumer engagement and satisfaction.

Even when the pandemic hit, Boyne Resorts was quick to pivot its customer interaction strategies to ensure optimal health and safety precautions. The organization revamped its guest service infrastructure with a robust ecosystem of modern POS solutions designed to optimize the hospitality operations while promoting social distancing through contactless self-service options.

The new solutions allowed guests to place food and beverage orders from anywhere using their own devices (phone, tablet, laptop), initiate quick payments, and collect their orders at pick-up counters within the resort, thus enjoying a contactless dining experience. As a result, Boyne Resorts was not only able to sail past the headwinds of the pandemic but also enhance guest safety, customer service, and revenue opportunities.
