3 Advantages of a Virtual Doorman Over a Real One
At Virtual Doorman, we have a bit of problem: Real doormen don’t like us! That’s because we’re providing a service that, in many ways, makes them obsolete. While there are some expensive buildings that will always have doormen as a prestige symbol, our remote doorman service is more than enough to handle the needs of many buildings that would rather not have to have a real person on duty 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. But why are so many building owners and managers switching over to remote doorman services? Isn’t one as good as the other? In most cases, the answer is clear: virtual doormen provide advantages that just can’t be beaten. Let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons people are switching to a virtual doorman system. No Payroll Without a doubt, this is the primary reason that most building managers decide to go with Virtual Doorman. We’re not talking about small saving here, either. By not having to have a doorman on call around the clock, buildings can end up saving 90% on their doorman services. That cost savings can be used to improve the building, keep rent from rising, or just be pure profit for the building owner. How can we provide such savings? First of all, there’s a considerable amount of automation involved. Renters will be able to open doors remotely with their phones, both for the main doors and for their own apartment. This means that our virtual doormen — actual people manning the system — don’t need to respond every time someone walks into the building. Even more important, our remote doormen are watching over multiple buildings at a time. A real-life doorman can only watch one building, and 95% of the time they aren’t doing anything at all. Our virtual doormen are much more efficient because they don’t experience nearly as much downtime and are able to watch over multiple buildings. Language How many languages does a typical doorman speak? They might be able to greet tenants in a few languages, but that’s it. But there are more than 6,000 languages in the world, 800 spoken in New York City alone, and about 135 commonly spoken languages in NYC. Doormen simply can’t keep up. With the latest version of our virtual doorman, tenants can be greeted in their own language. That’s a nice little touch that a real doorman just can’t pull off. No Awkward Chit Chat The personal touch offered by a real-life doorman can be a pleasant experience for some people. They might even like to get to know their doorman and don’t mind the banter as they make their way to the elevator. But in reality, most people just aren’t interested. It might sound mean, but it’s true. Life in New York is hectic, and most people would rather just have the automatic doors work for them than make small talk with someone they don’t really know. Are You Ready For A Virtual Doorman? Those are far from the only reasons that building owners choose virtual doorman, and, in fact, we’ll be back in the next blog to give you even more reasons why our remote doorman services are a good idea. But if you’re already convinced, click here to compare the service options you can get with Virtual Doorman. We look forward to working with you!
4 Advantages Of Virtual Doorman Services You Can Advertise To Tenants
If you own a building or are a building manager, it’s important to remember just how important your tenants are. You can have the nicest property in the world, but if you don’t have the services customers are looking for then you’re not going to be able to fill the spaces as quickly as you’d like. When potential buyers or tenants are considering your building, they might be looking for the services of a doorman. At first, they might be apprehensive about living in a building that uses Virtual Doorman service, technology they’re probably with unfamiliar with. You might have to sell them on the idea of a virtual doorman system, so here are some advantages to convince them that you should stay in a building with our cyber doorman service. 24/7 Service Having a round-the-clock doorman will cost a building hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. This high price tag has caused some properties to cut back on the hours during which they employee a doorman. This can leave quite a bit of time during which there’s no basic security or package services being provided. Our virtual doorman service is on-call 24/7/365 in order to let the right people into the building and accept packages. There’s no time during which tenants will be left in the lurch. Front Doors Can Always Remain Locked One of the primary duties of doormen is to provide basic security for a building. But in order to do so, they will usually have the front doors unlocked and perform this security from the front desk. That means that anyone who shouldn’t be in the building already has access to the building, and if they overpower the doorman then they have complete access. With our virtual doorman service, the doors remain locked at all times until a tenant or approved guest comes along. This makes sure that the first line of defense — the front doors — aren’t breached. There’s No Tipping This might be a small point, but it can be surprisingly appealing to customers. Even the biggest tippers out there realize that we’re reaching “tipping overload,” as tipping has become more and more ubiquitous. While it’s great to tip actual doormen when they are part of a highrise’s offerings, not having to tip — or worrying about how much to tip — can be an appealing selling point for Virtual Doorman. Virtual Doorman Is Impressive! The job of doorman has been around for at least 2,000 years and a part of New York City life for hundreds of years. So while it still impresses people to say “we have a doorman in our building,” it certainly doesn’t hold the weight it always has. In fact, some people are uncomfortable having someone wait on them in such a fashion. Everyone is impressed with Virtual Doorman, though! We’ve worked hard to incorporate the software and hardware to make it work as smooth as possible and to accommodate every instance in which it could be needed. When you tell potential tenants that they can let their friends in by tapping their phone, they’re going to brag about it!
