What arrives

The email Hospitality teams work through every day

Booking requests, guest questions and supplier invoices arrive at one address

A group or event enquiry needs the dates, the numbers and the menu before anyone can quote

Supplier invoices and price lists arrive as PDFs that someone checks line by line

Guests write in their own language and expect the answer in it

Review and platform messages wait while reservations come first

When reception and reservations share one mailbox, a guest gets two answers or none

Triage

Your Hospitality inbox, sorted the way you sort it

Kerna starts you with five categories built for this industry and hands them to you in your own language. Rename them, rewrite them, or add one of your own. Nothing is fixed and nothing is saved until you say so.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kerna connect to our PMS or booking system?

Not directly. Kerna works inside Gmail and Outlook. Extracted fields export to Google Sheets from Gmail or to Excel from Outlook, and in Outlook, Send to passes a checked form to Make, Zapier or Power Automate, where your automation takes it on.

Can replies sound like our property?

Yes. Your custom prompts and the tone setting shape every draft, and staff edit the draft before sending it.

How does it handle group and wedding enquiries?

It reads the dates, the party size and the venue off event orders and booking confirmations, and drafts the reply from the whole thread.

Is it useful for a small restaurant?

Yes. Starter is free for one mailbox, with no card, and the categories and documents can be renamed to fit.
