Luxury, But with Hold Music
This premium spa chain in Singapore, with over 20 downtown locations, built its brand on high-end service. But missed calls and scheduling gaps were dragging down both the guest experience and profitability.
The Problem
Forty receptionists meant heavy payroll
No-show rates were high
Potential guests often hung up after long holds
Rooms and therapists sat idle, wasting capacity
14 Days to an AI Concierge
Sharpen-AI rolled out an AI Receptionist across all locations. It now:
Answers calls instantly, 24/7
Books and reschedules appointments
Sends friendly voice reminders to reduce no-shows
Big Results in One Month
Show-up rates improved from 78% to 91%
Payroll costs dropped by $15,000 per month
Revenue rose by $25,000 as treatment rooms stayed booked
“Our guests now reach us instantly. Therapists are finally working full schedules and we saved enough in the first month to pay for the system,” said the general manager.
Key Improvements
No more hold music. Every call gets answered
Smart reminders help clients confirm or rebook
One scheduling system improves calendar use chain-wide
What’s Next
The team will add AI-driven upsells during booking, integrate loyalty rewards, and support Mandarin and Bahasa to serve a wider clientele. The guest experience stays premium while operations run smoother.
