Hospitality has traditionally been a reactive service model. Guests shop for hotel stays, peruse reviews, secure a booking, attend their stay and depart with a review in mind. However, travelers have often been known to leave reviews mid-stay as issues or surprises challenge and delight them. Operators who fail to account for these guests are open to allowing negative reviews to color their property’s reputation, even if these sentiments can be addressed before guests leave.

Today it’s all but anathema to not have a team member solely devoted to this area or specific responsibilities assigned to the marketing director, depending on the size of the company.

Before the application of AI and ML in hospitality facilities, operations could only be controlled manually, utilizing control mechanisms and pre-set schedules, which only promoted wastage. Waste management has become less efficient due to challenges in segregating waste and monitoring the waste stream, hence more landfills and less recycling.
