Booking Confirmation Email Template for Pre-Arrival Groceries

A booking confirmation email is one of the best places to introduce pre-arrival groceries. It reaches the guest early, feels natural, and gives them time to place an order before the arrival window closes.

This page gives property managers and hosts a practical template they can adapt for their own brand.

Why This Email Matters

  • reassure the guest that the stay is confirmed
  • introduce the grocery option clearly
  • explain why it is useful
  • make the next step easy

Copy Tips Before You Use the Template

  • personalize the property name
  • adjust tone to match your brand
  • include the order deadline clearly
  • link to the actual ordering flow or support contact
  • keep the CTA near the top and bottom when possible

Email Template

Subject: Your upcoming stay - add groceries before you arrive

Hi [Guest Name],

Thank you for booking [Property Name]. We are excited to host you from [Check-in Date] to [Check-out Date].

To make your arrival smoother, we offer pre-arrival grocery stocking through Bellhopt. You can order groceries before check-in, and our team can shop, deliver, stock, and organize so the home feels ready when you walk in.

Why add groceries before arrival? Skip the stress of shopping after travel, have breakfast and essentials ready, and start the stay faster.

How it works: place your order at least 24 hours before arrival, Bellhopt confirms and executes, and you arrive to a ready kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

When should this email be sent?

Usually shortly after booking confirmation, while there is still time to place an order.

Should the order link be inside the first email?

Yes, when possible. Fewer steps usually improve engagement.

Should pricing be included in the email?

That depends on your brand and flow, but the service should at least sound clear and legitimate.
