Problem
Hotel guests frequently violate no‑smoking policies, but violations often go unnoticed until after a stay, leading to lingering odors, costly deep‑cleaning, and negative guest reviews.
Solution
Rest provides a discreet, Wi‑Fi‑connected sensor that continuously monitors air quality in each hotel room and uses a proprietary algorithm to detect tobacco, marijuana, or nicotine emissions. When smoke is identified, the system instantly alerts housekeeping or management through a secure cloud platform, supplying timestamped evidence for consistent enforcement. Installation is completed by trained technicians in under five minutes per room, with no batteries, cartridges, or ongoing maintenance required. The platform integrates with existing hotel property‑management systems and delivers real‑time dashboards and daily reports, enabling staff to act quickly, reduce room restoration costs, and maintain a reliable smoke‑free guest experience.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hotel operators and property‑management teams—ranging from boutique properties to large chains—who need reliable, automated enforcement of smoke‑free policies and want to protect room assets and guest satisfaction.
