A repeat guest asks for the usual, ready before the car pulls up.
When a repeat guest books, agents turn notes from past stays into a task for every department before arrival. Here is one booking through all four steps, at a beach resort.

01/04 Request 11:40 AM
A same-day booking lands at 11:40 a.m.
A repeat guest's assistant reserves the ocean suite for three nights, with one note: the usual, please. The agent picks it up from the reservation system, because the profile is marked VIP.

The usual, read from six past stays
The front office manager asks what the usual means. The agent answers from notes on six past stays, each line cited: foam pillows, a tree-nut allergy, the corner table on the terrace at 8, and the same spa therapist.
Sources: Guest notes, six past stays. Dining notes. Spa notes, past visits.

Three tasks, and one allergy caught
The agent drafts tasks for housekeeping, dining, and the spa, and a welcome plan for the front office manager. The standard VIP amenity is almond macarons, so the plan swaps in fruit and notes the allergy for the pastry chef.
Draft: Welcome plan: foam pillows, fruit amenity, terrace at 8

One sign-off, and a card written by hand
The front office manager approves the plan and writes the welcome card by hand. By 3:02, housekeeping and dining have confirmed their tasks, and one question waits for the spa manager: the guest's usual therapist is off until Friday.
Welcome back. Your table on the terrace is ready at 8 tonight.
