Hospitality IT AMC Dubai

IT AMC built for Dubai hotels, restaurants, and serviced apartments.

Hotel IT does not stop because a printer broke at 2am or a guest cannot connect to WiFi. Our hospitality AMC covers PMS, POS, BMS, guest networks, IPTV, door locks, and payment terminals as one contract, with engineers on site within 30 minutes of any Dubai property.

What a hospitality AMC covers

Every system a Dubai hotel actually runs on, in one contract.

Hospitality is the only sector where IT failure is visible to a paying guest within seconds. Our AMC bundles the systems most providers split into three separate vendors.

Property Management System (PMS)

Support, integration, and uptime for Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, Hotelogix, Protel, IDS, and others. Reservation flow, night audit, channel manager sync, and rate parity issues handled the same day.

Restaurant and bar POS

Micros, Oracle Symphony, Aloha, Toast, Lightspeed, SAP B1, and local POS systems. Kitchen display screens, table-management terminals, and printer chains kept running through service hours.

Guest WiFi and captive portal

High-density WiFi (Ruckus, Cisco Meraki, Aruba) tuned for 200+ concurrent guests per floor. TRA-compliant captive portal with SMS/passport authentication, bandwidth tiers, and an IT desk that answers a guest WiFi complaint in under five minutes.

Payment terminals (PCI-DSS)

Network Indemnity, Network International, AMEX terminals integrated cleanly with PMS and POS. PCI-DSS network segmentation, terminal-rotation tracking, and ASV scans coordinated with your acquirer.

IPTV, hospitality TV, casting

Samsung Hospitality, LG Pro:Centric, Philips MediaSuite, Hospitality IPTV middleware. Channel lineup, in-room app deployment, casting from guest devices, and Bluetooth pairing on guestroom TVs.

Electronic door locks and key cards

Onity, Salto, Ving, Vingcard, and Assa Abloy integrations with PMS for automatic key encoding on check-in. Card encoders, lock battery monitoring, and emergency key access procedures.

BMS, energy, and in-room automation

Honeywell INNCOM, Siemens Desigo, in-room thermostats, occupancy sensors, and curtain/lighting control panels. Failure alerts forwarded to engineering and IT in parallel.

IP telephony and switchboard

Avaya Aura, Mitel, Yeastar, 3CX, and FortiVoice systems. Guestroom phone provisioning, switchboard call-handling, IVR menus, and wake-up call scheduling integrated with PMS.

Back-of-house hardware and network

Servers, network switches, firewalls, printer fleet (front office, F&B, kitchens, housekeeping). Spare-parts cabinet for common SKUs (printer drums, network SFPs, POS terminals) stocked on site.

Why Dubai hotels switch to us

Four reasons hospitality IT teams move their AMC to GR.

5-minute P1 remote response, 24/7, every Dubai property

A named engineer picks up your P1 within 5 minutes, at any address, because the fix starts in a remote session rather than a vehicle.

Hospitality-trained engineers, not generalists

12+ engineers on the team have shipped Opera, Mews, or Micros migrations as project lead. They know what a "rooms move", a "split folio", and a "no-post" status mean. Front-desk explanations are not lost in translation.

PCI-DSS and TRA-aware from day one

Our network design separates guest WiFi, back-of-house, and payment terminals into three VLANs by default. PCI-DSS ASV scans, log retention, and quarterly attestation evidence built into the monthly report. TRA captive portal compliance configured for your property.

Multi-property and chain-friendly

Standard build for 2-property to 20-property chains: shared identity, centralised PMS reporting, single helpdesk number for all GMs. Property-by-property SLA reports rolled into a single chain dashboard.

Properties we work with

Six hospitality formats we run IT for.

Each format has a different PMS, a different guest-WiFi load profile, a different payment-terminal footprint, and a different escalation profile. We size the AMC to the format.

4 and 5-star hotels

Opera PMS, Micros POS, Honeywell INNCOM in-room control, Onity door locks, Network International payment. 200-500 room properties with full F&B and meeting facilities.

Serviced apartments and aparthotels

Mews or Cloudbeds PMS, self-check-in kiosks, residential-grade door locks, long-stay billing. DTCM/DET-classified properties with monthly invoice cycles.

Restaurants and F&B groups

Multi-outlet POS networks (5-30 outlets per group), centralised kitchen-display orchestration, dispatch-platform integration (Deliveroo, Talabat, Careem Food).

Boutique and lifestyle hotels

Cloud-first PMS stack (Mews, Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier), tablet-based check-in, Google/Outlook calendar integration, lean back-of-house.

Hotel apartments and long-stay

Extended-stay billing modules, residential WiFi tiers, business-centre print services, and corporate-rate channel-manager integration.

Spa, salon, and wellness centres

Booker, Mindbody, Zenoti booking systems with payment integration. Client-history privacy controls, multi-therapist rota systems, retail-product POS.

AMC vs the alternatives

Three ways to run hospitality IT, with their real trade-offs.

Most Dubai hotels run a hybrid of these three. The question is which one carries the operating risk on a Friday night service.

Hospitality SLA

Priority tiers tuned for hotel operations.

Hospitality SLA is different from office IT. A PMS outage at check-in is more severe than a desktop fault. Our priority matrix reflects what a GM and front-office manager actually escalate.

How a hospitality AMC starts

From walkthrough to first month of monthly reports.

No long sales cycle. A pre-engagement walkthrough is at no cost. Most properties go live on AMC within 14 days of signing.
  1. 1

    Property walkthrough

    1 day

    remote discovery session of front office, back office, F&B outlets, kitchens, switchboard, server room, MDF/IDF closets, and a sample of guest rooms. We photograph existing setup, log every active system, and capture license counts.

  2. 2

    Coverage proposal

    3-5 days

    Written scope per property: which systems are covered, response SLA per priority, escalation matrix, monthly KPI shape. Tiered for property size; chain-level pricing for multi-property groups.

  3. 3

    Cutover and documentation

    5-10 days

    Existing IT documentation transferred, missing diagrams rebuilt, credentials rotated and vaulted, monitoring agents deployed, on-call rotation activated, 24/7 helpdesk number issued to GM and HoDs.

  4. 4

    First monthly report

    Day 30

    Detailed report with tickets opened/closed, SLA attainment, P1 incidents with root cause, security baseline status, license inventory, and next-month recommendations. Quarterly business review scheduled with GM.

“We replaced two separate vendors with GR (one for PMS support, one for network and POS) and our weekly outage count fell from four to zero in the first month. The 5-minute P1 remote response SLA is real. They have been on property within 20 minutes for every P1 we have raised.”

Hospitality AMC FAQ

What hotel GMs and IT managers ask us before signing.

Yes. We have engineers certified on Opera Cloud and on-prem Opera 5. We have shipped Opera-to-Mews migrations and Opera-to-Cloudbeds migrations as project lead. We hold direct relationships with Oracle Hospitality and Mews support for L3 escalation.

Yes. The AMC covers the operating environment around the PMS (network, payment integration, channel manager sync, hardware, identity). When the PMS vendor needs to be engaged for a software-level issue, we are the L1/L2 layer that triages and hands off cleanly with all evidence pre-collected.

P1 if mass-affected (>50% of rooms): on-call engineer engaged in five minutes, remote diagnosis in fifteen, on site by 30 minutes. P3 if single room: front desk escalates via the helpdesk number, on-call engineer remotes in and resolves while the guest is still on the line, target 10 minutes.

Yes. Chain pricing is structured per property tier (rooms count, F&B outlets, complexity) with shared back-of-house systems billed once. A single chain dashboard reports SLA per property to the corporate office, and individual GMs get property-specific monthly reports.

We design the network so payment terminals sit on an isolated VLAN with strict ACLs, separate from guest WiFi and back-of-house. We coordinate quarterly ASV scans with your acquirer, retain logs to the required period, and provide attestation evidence packs for the annual SAQ. We do not become your QSA; we make the SAQ tractable.

Yes. We configure SMS or passport-based authentication, log retention to the TRA-mandated period, and a separate VLAN for guest traffic. The captive portal is brandable to your property and supports tiered bandwidth (free, premium, complimentary suite).

Standard cutover is 5-10 days for a single property, 2-4 weeks for a multi-property chain. We start documentation transfer the day after signing and run a soft-cutover week where both vendors are live before the incumbent steps down.

Predictable. The AMC fee covers unlimited tickets, unlimited scheduled reviews, and unlimited remote support within scope. Capital hardware replacement (a failed switch, a dead printer) is billed separately on quote-approval basis. Software licenses (Opera, Microsoft, Mews) remain your direct vendor contracts.
