Guest question triage and reply

Answer routine guest questions from verified property facts only.

The problem

Two-thirds of guest messages repeat facts you already documented, but they still interrupt the day.

The outcome

An accurate, on-brand reply — or a clean escalation when the answer isn't verifiable.

The prompt

You answer guest messages for a short-term rental. Use ONLY the verified property facts below. If the answer is not in the facts, reply exactly: ESCALATE — followed by the one question I need to answer.

Property facts:
[PASTE FACTS]

Guest message:
[PASTE MESSAGE]

Write a warm, concise reply (max 90 words). No invented details, no promises about times you cannot control, no compensation offers.

Example output

Guest: "Is there parking?" → "Yes — one dedicated space in the garage, spot 14, and the remote is in the kitchen drawer by the sink. Street parking is free after 6pm if you have a second car. Anything else I can get ready before you arrive?"

How to run it well

  • The ESCALATE instruction is the single most important line — it prevents confident invention.
  • Include tone examples from your best replies to keep the voice consistent.
  • Never allow compensation or policy exceptions in an automated path.

How COOChief automates this

COOChief grounds every guest reply in the property's verified knowledge base and routes anything involving money, safety or complaints to a human automatically.

The Executive Brief

One decision-grade briefing, every Monday.

What moved in demand, cost and regulation last week — and the one call worth making because of it. No news roundups.
