What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

Hotels in the Florida market need a lift with regards to customer experience, cleanliness, knowledge base, brand/business portfolio partners/perks etc. digital tipping platform Canary improves hotel staff job satisfaction/fulfillment via tips for good service - seems to help from the data and field studies we've accrued over the last few years in addition to their in-house data of approx $5 lift per hour on average for staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

Double check the UI and work out any bugs direct with the team in SF (Eric Goldberg is a good guy but go with your designated point of contact of course. IF you feel like you're not getting fast enough or correct answers to setup anamolies/glitches...it's helpful to ask for a senior exec to be CC'd in, ask for a roadmap if you think it's an integration issue w your existing tech stack etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

This authorization form system has easily been the most simple, self explanatory system we have ever used. Everything is so easy to maneuver and locate! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

Honestly, there isn't anything to dislike; our company has yet to have an issue with it. Although, I will say the verification code that is needed every time I log in would probably be the only dislike we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canary Technologies solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working with previous systems and methods sometimes takes more time then we have to be able to run a desk in a fast paced environment. With Canary Technologies, we have cut our authorization time by more than half versus our previous method. It also allows us to keep track and archive all of our forms in one safe system.

What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

Prior to using canary, authorization forms had to be receive via fax machines due to PCI compliance issues. As anyone who lives in the modern era will tell you, getting non-corporate customers to send in authorization forms via fax often feels like it should require a time machine. This not only modernizes the process but also makes it quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

There's nothing I don't love about the product. Even when I had issues logging in, their customer service reps were quick to handle the situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canary Technologies solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canary has simplified our billing process significantly. That, in and of itself, is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jonathan Li of Canary Technologies

We're so glad that Canary is able to be a great solution for you. We'll let the Customer Success team know that you love their customer service, too!

What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

Reliable and very easy for our guests to use and fill out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

On the hotel end, it does take a while to go back and forth between canary, then our email, etc. Also, having to go from the authorization form, back to Dashboard, then CC information, then if you forgot what charges back to authorization form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canary Technologies solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped our guests with the authorization process - much simpler that what it was in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

It is secure and fast responding. Email notifications come very fast after a guest submits a form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

Many of the clients that fill out the credit card authorization forms are with businesses. They often wish to keep those cards on file for future guests under that company. We have run into the issue that the credit card authorization is under a person's name and not under a company. For example, anyone from John Deere Tennessee branch would be under John Smith but when someone makes the reservation they only know that they have a blanket credit card authorization form on file but do not know who it is under. It can take a while to figure out which authorization is for them to use. *It would be nice if there was a field that could be the company name as well as the client's name and then we could just search by company for faster results.

Another issue that I personally do not like is that when someone from my front desk views an authorization and puts the necessary information on the reservation that it still sits in the dashboard looking like no one has done anything with it. It would be nice if it was like email and looked like read and unread or opened/unopened. It just creates more work for me. When I open one and transfer the data and always click processed to move it from the dashboard. It makes me feel better when I know they have all been transferred correctly.

What do you like best about Canary Technologies?

Ease of use; very quick to explain to new users how to utilize the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canary Technologies?

Would prefer more options on main page and as admin; ideally seeing the "Business or Guest Name" section on the Dashboard, and combined search options (for instance searching for status "Completed" and action "Dashboard"). I feel some kind of option to have emails sent to one or more admins whenever an authorization is completed as opposed to just the person who created the authorization could also be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Canary Technologies:

I greatly recommend Canary Technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canary Technologies solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a secure, third-party credit card authorization company, to reduce and eventually eliminate the amount of physical authorization forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
