Frequently asked questions

What is a hotel panic button, and what are the benefits of hotel panic buttons for staff?

A hotel panic button is a discreet safety device used by hotel staff—especially housekeeping, security, and front desk teams—to signal for help in emergencies. With Relay, staff can trigger an alert with five quick presses—automatically sharing their real-time location with responders. This empowers hotels to improve employee protection and meet modern safety standards or laws.
