PICK MY TRAY

A simpler way for guests to request tray pickup.

Instead of leaving used trays in the corridor, guests scan a QR code or tap an NFC tag near the room to request collection from their phone. Apgile sends the room location and pickup details to the responsible team—no app download required..

Keep corridors guest-ready without relying only on collection rounds

Guests do not always know whom to call when a tray is ready for collection. Routine pickup rounds may not match the moment each guest finishes their meal. Pick My Tray gives the guest a direct way to notify the responsible team.

Cleaner corridors

Help reduce the time used room-service trays remain visible outside guest rooms.

Fewer front-desk calls

Give guests a dedicated pickup action instead of requiring them to find and call the appropriate department.

Room identified automatically

The QR code or NFC tag is associated with the room, so the guest does not need to explain the pickup location.

Clear staff visibility

Send the pickup request and room location together so the responsible team can acknowledge and complete it.

Scan or tap

The guest scans the room’s QR code or taps its NFC tag when the tray is ready for collection.

Request pickup

A simple guest-facing page opens with the option to request room-service tray pickup.

Notify the responsible team

Apgile sends the pickup request, room location, submission time, and any guest-provided details to the configured team.

Track to completion

The request remains visible while it is acknowledged and completed. Unattended requests can follow the property’s escalation workflow.
