CheckedIn — A Social Concierge

Revolutionizing the Social Side of Travel

I like to think of myself as the average millennial but i’ll let you, the reader, be the judge of that. I’m a 27 year old male living in New York City and working in finance. When I’m not working I lead an active lifestyle (I run, spin, lift, and do yoga), foster dogs (through Muddy Paws Rescue — something everyone should get involved with), go out, and travel. I’m also an active user of instagram, facebook and snapchat…and I’m single so I resort to apps like tinder, hinge, and bumble for dating.

Anyways, like I previously said, I TRAVEL.

And whether I’m with friends, family, or by myself, I’m accustomed to being connected and want to experience the surroundings / city / country that I’m in in the little time that I have. Unfortunately, the standard procedure today usually requires tons of research (usually before booking), a physical map, and calling the concierge for recommendations. Now imagine a mobile application — called CheckedIn, a Social Concierge —which accomplishes all of that and more.

CheckedIn gathers unique guest data / intelligence which enables a hotel to offer bespoke customer service to each individual guest (without even asking). Simultaneously, through CheckedIn’s communications network, travelers can interact with one another and their hotel.

Now you’re probably asking why and maybe how and the explanation is simple. Like a typical dating app, we gather personal information (which you volunteer) and use that data to provide a premium service. Examples include:

-Sarah lives in NYC and spins at Soul Cycle every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. This weekend shes in San Francisco — for a little R&R with her girlfriends. Her hotel, Hotel XYZ, used this information to arrange a complimentary class for her and her friends.

-Scott is visiting Chicago with his family. The third day of his trip is his birthday. His hotel, Hotel XYZ, used this information to send him a complimentary bottle of champagne and a birthday cake.

-Peter is staying at hotel XYZ for a hotel convention. The hotel is located directly across the street from the convention center and is booked with many other attendees. In an effort to bring their guests together, the concierge sends a push notification about a networking happy hour to all attendees.

-Alex is staying at hotel XYZ in Austin. For lunch she decided to try a very popular restaurant but the wait was too long. Not having a backup spot, she logged in to CheckedIn and texted her hotel’s concierge. Within seconds, she had a response which included multiple restaurant names, descriptions, and addresses.

-Thomas is staying at an AirBNB in Los Angeles. In the late afternoon he decides to hike Runyon but he doesn’t want to go by himself. He logs in to CheckedIn, selects “Be Active”, and posts a public status about going hiking. 30 minutes later he has multiple responses and a group of people to go with.

CheckedIn is the result of personal experiences, a passion for traveling, and a common frustration. We want to elevate the travel experience, create lasting memories, and encourage guests to explore the world the way they want.

Get Inspired. Get Social. Get CheckedIn.
