When you’re planning a seasonal menu or reviewing guest feedback, the useful details rarely live in one place. Survey results may sit in a document, pricing in a spreadsheet, and brand guidelines in another folder. Repeating that background every time you start a new chat adds friction.
Claude Projects gives you a dedicated workspace for a specific hospitality task. You can group related chats, add reusable instructions, and upload reference files Claude can use across conversations in that project. The payoff: less repeated setup and a more consistent starting point for analysis and drafts.
Here’s how to create a focused project, prepare its references, and use it for practical hospitality work—while keeping your judgment in charge of the final result.
Build a Claude Project around one hospitality task
Give each project a clear purpose. Instead of putting every hotel, restaurant, or venue task in one workspace, separate work that needs different files or instructions.
You might create projects for:
- A seasonal menu launch: Menu descriptions, pricing, guest feedback, and promotional copy.
- Guest feedback review: Survey results and summaries of recurring themes.
- Restaurant marketing: Brand guidelines and drafts for upcoming promotions.
- A new afternoon tea offer: Product details, pricing, and launch messaging.
For example, imagine you’re introducing a brown butter salted caramel cookie in your hotel café. You want to review tasting feedback and draft promotional wording that fits your property’s brand. That’s a focused task with a clear set of references—ideal for one project.
To create it, open Projects in Claude’s sidebar, select New project, and enter a descriptive name, such as “Hotel Café — Salted Caramel Cookie Launch.” Add a short description of the project’s purpose, then create it.
You can edit the name or description later. If the project is an active priority, star it to find it quickly in the sidebar. Exact controls may change as Claude’s interface evolves.

Set project instructions that reflect your service style
Project instructions tell Claude how to respond across chats in that workspace. Use them to set expectations you’d otherwise need to repeat.
For hospitality work, your instructions might specify:
- Tone: Warm, welcoming, polished, or informal.
- Audience: Hotel guests, local diners, conference organizers, or another defined group.
- Format: Short paragraphs, bullet points, or clearly labeled alternatives.
- Accuracy: Use supplied information and flag missing details.
- Workflow: Keep guest-facing copy separate from internal recommendations.
Open the project’s instructions area, add your guidance, and save it.
For the café launch, you could use:
You are helping me prepare a new product launch for our hotel café. Write in a warm, welcoming, professional tone. Keep guest-facing copy concise and avoid exaggerated claims. Use the uploaded brand notes and pricing information as references. Do not invent ingredients, allergen information, prices, availability, or guest feedback. If a necessary detail is missing, flag it clearly. Separate draft copy from internal notes.
Treat these instructions as a working brief, not a substitute for review. You’re still responsible for making sure the final wording reflects what your team can actually deliver.

Add current, relevant files to your project
Reference files give Claude background it can use across chats in that project. For the café launch, you might add:
- Tasting survey results with guest or staff feedback.
- A pricing spreadsheet with the approved selling price and relevant product details.
- Brand notes describing your café’s tone and positioning.
Use the project’s file controls or drag and drop files into the project. Claude supports various file types, including documents, spreadsheets, images, and PDFs. Check your account for current upload limits and supported formats.
Choose material that’s relevant and up to date. Clear names like “Café Brand Notes — Approved” and “Cookie Pricing — Current” are easier to manage than several vaguely labeled versions.
Before uploading hospitality records, remove unnecessary personal information and follow your organization’s data-handling rules. For feedback analysis, comments without guest names, contact details, or reservation identifiers may be enough.
Know the difference: A file added to the project is available as reference material across its chats. A file attached only to one chat does not automatically become part of the project’s shared references.
Use project-level uploads for recurring materials, such as brand guidelines. Attach a file to an individual chat when you only need it for that conversation.

Turn guest feedback into a useful summary
Once your files are in place, start with a bounded task: ask Claude to summarize the feedback. This can help you separate recurring comments from isolated opinions before you write launch messaging.
Try this prompt:
Review the uploaded tasting survey for our new café cookie. Summarize the most common positive comments, recurring concerns, and suggestions. Separate repeated themes from one-off remarks. Where the data supports it, include counts and state the number of responses reviewed. Do not infer percentages or conclusions that the source does not support. Finish with questions our café team should resolve before launch.
A useful summary should reflect what respondents actually said—not simply produce an enthusiastic product description.
Check the result against the original responses, especially counts and strong conclusions. If Claude calls something a “common concern,” verify that the survey supports that wording.

Draft hospitality marketing copy from the same references
Next, start a separate chat in the project for promotional wording. Your project instructions and uploaded files remain available, so you don’t need to add the same brand notes again.
You could ask:
Using the uploaded brand notes and approved product information, write five short taglines for our new brown butter salted caramel cookie. Keep each option under 12 words. Avoid unsupported popularity claims and do not add ingredient or dietary claims beyond the supplied information.
Separate chats for feedback analysis and copywriting make each conversation easier to navigate. When you find a promising line, refine it:
Revise option three for a small countertop sign. Make it welcoming and easy to read at a glance. Include the price only if it is clearly confirmed in the uploaded pricing file.
These are illustrative tasks, not reported launch results. The aim is to get a more informed draft that you can check against your operational details.

Keep your project organized and easy to revisit
Related chats stay grouped within a project, so you can return to earlier analysis or wording. If a conversation belongs elsewhere, use its menu to remove it from the project or move it to another one. You can also add an existing conversation to a project through its chat menu.
Keep unrelated work separate. A café launch doesn’t need the same references as a conference promotion or another department’s planning. When the launch is complete, archive the project to reduce clutter; you can access archived projects again if needed.
