CEO Eugene Brcic Jones, who will focus on the group\\u2019s marketing and PR from its US headquarters.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;\\n\\n\\u201cMr Vandjelic is among Croatia\\u2019s most capable business leaders today and his understanding of the hotels and resorts sector in Croatia, as well as Europe, is very impressive,\\u201d said Brcic Jones. \\u201cI look forward to working with Damir and synergising with our internationals operations.\\u201d\\n\\n\\u201cThis is a major coup for RoomOrders,\\u201d said RoomOrders Inc. founder and Chairman Viktor Matic. \\u201cThere is a long list of strong corporations pursuing Mr. Vandjelic as well as political parties, who see him as a candidate for Croatia\\u2019s highest offices.\\u201d\\n\\n\\u201cLuckily Mr. Vandjelic is eager to share his vast experience in the start-up sector and is able to juggle RoomOrders with his other engagements,\\u201d Matic said.\\n\\nMatic revealed that Vandjelic has already dabbled in several start-ups and hopes his experience and relations will elevate RoomOrders as it enters a period of accelerated growth.\\n\\n[embed]https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/64jXq4I8eaQ[\\\/embed]\\n\\nRoomOrders is a cloud self-serve platform that allows guests contactless ordering and payment of food and beverages in hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafes; whether they are in lobbies, rooftops, or poolside and beachside deckchairs, using their own smart devices.\\n\\nRoomOrders is used in about 300 venues across the world, including leading hotel chains like Hilton, Marriott, IHG and Accor.\\n\\nVandjelic most recently held the position of Chairman-Supervisory Board at INA-Industrija nafte dd and Chairman-Supervisory Board of Cromaris dd. He was also on the board of Croatia osiguranje dd and Member-Management Board at Adris Grupa dd and Member of Adria Resorts doo. In his past career, Vandjelic was Chairman-Management Board at Croatia osiguranje dd. and also president of Council of HANFA, a financial regulator in Croatia.

This is essentially the process where businesses use an app or third-party system to receive orders from customers. Clients can then choose to pick up their meal or have it delivered to their location. Mobile ordering has also been used by customers to purchase different location-based services.\\n\\nDuring the pandemic, more people turned to mobile ordering, as&amp;nbsp;explained by &lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.restaurantbusinessonline.com\\\/technology\\\/mobile-ordering-takes-thanks-covid\\&quot;&gt;Restaurant Business&lt;\\\/a&gt;. It lessens the risk of contracting the virus and is more convenient. The rise in mobile ordering has greatly changed the hospitality industry too. RoomOrders CEO Eugene Jones explained that \\u201cMany hotels fear that technology will eliminate true hospitality and warm customer service, but our experience shows that this isn\\u2019t necessarily the case.\\u201d Instead of disrupting the hospitality industry, mobile ordering has further developed and enhanced its practices. Here are a few trends mobile ordering has improved:\\n\\n&lt;style type=\\&quot;text\\\/css\\&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 {&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin: auto;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t}&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tfloat: left;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-top: 10px;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\ttext-align: center;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\twidth: 25%;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t}&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 img {&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t}&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-left: 0;&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t}&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\\\/media.php *\\\/&lt;br \\\/&gt;\\n\\t\\t&lt;\\\/style&gt;\\n&lt;dl class=\\&quot;gallery-item\\&quot;&gt;\\n \\t&lt;dt class=\\&quot;gallery-icon landscape\\&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\\&quot;yes\\&quot;

This has become the norm ever since the pandemic started. Without the technology, the food sector would have taken a nosedive due to lockdown restrictions. This has led hospitality industry operations to adopt a tech-first approach.\\n\\nSome companies, like McDonald&#039;s and Starbucks, have even invested in creating their own user-friendly software. These applications typically contain a menu or pricelist which customers can use as a reference or to place orders. Some may also serve as a loyalty program membership where users are rewarded with points for every purchase made through the app. Many companies have also added a bot that can immediately answer a client&#039;s questions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/online.maryville.edu\\\/blog\\\/how-does-digital-media-affect-the-marketing-mix\\\/\\&quot;&gt;Maryville University&lt;\\\/a&gt; highlights how instant customer service&amp;nbsp;has become a key part of digital services in the age of social media. By offering instant access to make inquiries, companies that use mobile ordering can get ahead of any complaints or issues. The popularity of mobile ordering applications will continue to push organizations to utilize this software to grow their operations and clientele.\\n&lt;h2 style=\\&quot;mso-add-space: auto; margin: 15.0pt 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\\&quot;&gt;Mobile ordering revolutionized hospitality marketing strategies&lt;\\\/h2&gt;\\nMobile ordering has generated a new way for members of the hospitality industry to market their products and services. While many platforms work with numerous establishments, companies are made to think outside of the box to bring in new customers.\\n\\nIf a product or service is only the lower spectrum in terms of price, companies can use mobile ordering platforms to highlight that it is a good deal. They can also easily reach a wider market using these applications as they are utilized by many people. Aside from this, with just a simple click from their fingers, they can avail of the product or service they want which is where convenience and accessibility factor in. Mobile ordering platforms allow for greater visibility and aid in bringing better brand awareness to the companies using them.\\n&lt;h2 style=\\&quot;mso-add-space: auto; margin: 15.0pt 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\\&quot;&gt;Companies have more data-drive efforts&lt;\\\/h2&gt;\\nWhile businesses could keep track of their audience in the past, mobile ordering has made data collecting easier and more efficient. Instead of having to manually research customer habits and needs, these applications create an electronic database that can then be analyzed by a company&#039;s team.\\n\\nMobile ordering platforms like &lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/\\&quot;&gt;RoomOrders&amp;nbsp;&lt;\\\/a&gt;collect specific information from guests. Establishments can use this data for a multitude of things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.investopedia.com\\\/terms\\\/d\\\/data-analytics.asp\\&quot;&gt;Investopedia&lt;\\\/a&gt; explains that data analytics&amp;nbsp;helps companies study their client\\u2019s behaviors and preferences. Companies will be able to know which product or service is more appealing, what kind of people they are servicing, and which overall business practices are working for them. Mobile ordering can give establishments information to predict what customers want from them and how they can improve their operations. The analytics they receive will also be automated, erasing the need to manually look over all the data.\\n\\nMobile ordering is changing the way the hospitality industry functions. It is making needed improvements and advances to cater to the current needs of customers. These are just a few of the recent trends they have given as these platforms rise in popularity.&quot;,&quot;post_title&quot;:&quot;3 Tech Trends in Mobile Ordering for Hotels&quot;,&quot;post_excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_status&quot;:&quot;publish&quot;,&quot;comment_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;ping_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;post_password&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_name&quot;:&quot;3-tech-trends-in-mobile-ordering-for-hotels&quot;,&quot;to_ping&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pinged&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_modified&quot;:&quot;2022-02-28 12:19:13&quot;,&quot;post_modified_gmt&quot;:&quot;2022-02-28 12:19:13&quot;,&quot;post_content_filtered&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_parent&quot;:0,&quot;guid&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/?p=5256&quot;,&quot;menu_order&quot;:0,&quot;post_type&quot;:&quot;post&quot;,&quot;post_mime_type&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;comment_count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;filter&quot;:&quot;raw&quot;},{&quot;ID&quot;:5229,&quot;post_author&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2022-02-07 16:50:11&quot;,&quot;post_date_gmt&quot;:&quot;2022-02-07 16:50:11&quot;,&quot;post_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;h2&gt;Staffing and mobile ordering\\\/ payments solutions vital in 2022, says global hotel expert&lt;br&gt;&lt;\\\/h2&gt;\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Campbell Black is a 40-year international hotelier, working across USA, Europe and the Middle East in individual\\u00a0&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;and multi-unit locations as a General Manager.

Tell us how it all began?\\u00a0&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Australian and graduated from the Ryde School of Hotel Administration in Sydney (now TAFE). I decided to travel upon graduation and landed in New York City, USA. I was able to work and joined InterContinental Hotels Corporation in NYC and over time, hard work, great mentors and various operational promotions moved to Muscat InterContinental, Sultanate of Oman. I then was promoted and transferred to London to the Britannia InterContinental, then the MayFair InterContinental and then my first General Manager role at the Portman InterContinental London. I was then transferred to Edinburgh, Scotland to the George InterContinental. After three years I was then transferred and promoted to Regional Vice President Eastern Mediterranean at the Athenaeum InterContinental Athens, Greece. This role included GM of the hotel as well as regional operations oversight of IHG managed hotels in Italy, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Kazakstan. I then moved to Los Angeles to oversee managed InterContinental Hotels and Crowne Plaza Hotels for the Western USA which included San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Irvine, Pleasanton, Palo Alto, LAX, Houston,&lt;br \\\/&gt;Dallas and New Orleans. During this assignment I moved to San Francisco and oversaw the Mark Hopkins InterContiental San Francisco and the Western USA region. I then moved to Cleveland Ohio and was Regional Director for Mid West and Canada with operations oversight for three hotels at the world famous Cleveland Clinic campus, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal across multi IHG brands.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t&lt;style type=\\&quot;text\\\/css\\&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin: auto;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tfloat: left;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-top: 10px;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\ttext-align: center;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\twidth: 25%;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 img {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-left: 0;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t\\\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\\\/media.php *\\\/\\n\\t\\t&lt;\\\/style&gt;\\n\\t\\t&lt;dl class=&#039;gallery-item&#039;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;dt class=&#039;gallery-icon landscape&#039;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\\&quot;yes\\&quot;

The Covid-19 pandemic was a dramatic\\u00a0accelerator of a very tough period for the hospitality and travel sector and that dark period has\\u00a0opened the need for different ways to operate, serve and run the business.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Travel globally and living in many interesting, diverse and developing locations I think has been\\u00a0a highlight. Seeing young, energetic and eager colleagues grow and achieve great success\\u00a0both in their own country and internationally is very gratifying and supportive to me. I still keep\\u00a0in contact no matter where they are on the planet and what they are doing.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\\u00a0What are some\\u00a0challenges you overcame and what made the difference in your eyes?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I could not have done all the things I have if it were not for mentors around me (both close and\\u00a0distant in location). Equally so I tend to look at many things as a team effort and to ensure you\\u00a0surround yourself with great talent. Having local knowledge and local history (understanding)\\u00a0always helped to forge a path forward as it is important to understand how you got to the\\u00a0current situation and moment.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now after 40 years later, you are returning your knowledge and insight to the industry as an Advisor to the Board of RoomOrders. What drew you to RoomOrders?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am always looking for new innovations that create a win for operators; a win for customers;\\u00a0and a win for ownership and RoomOrders filled that criteria. Technology in the hospitality\\u00a0sector must be utilized to provide a seamless experience for each stakeholder. Our industry is\\u00a0always in some kind of change process and over the past few years there has been much\\u00a0upheaval in serving the customer in an efficient (cost and service efficiency), safe, functional,\\u00a0accurate and sustainable manner. New doors are being opened for long term change and\\u00a0RoomOrders deliver that opportunity.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t&lt;style type=\\&quot;text\\\/css\\&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-2 {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin: auto;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tfloat: left;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-top: 10px;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\ttext-align: center;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\twidth: 25%;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-2 img {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tmargin-left: 0;\\n\\t\\t\\t}\\n\\t\\t\\t\\\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\\\/media.php *\\\/\\n\\t\\t&lt;\\\/style&gt;\\n\\t\\t&lt;dl class=&#039;gallery-item&#039;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;dt class=&#039;gallery-icon landscape&#039;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\\&quot;yes\\&quot;

What do you think is the toughest part about Covid for the sector?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clearly the worst part of Covid pandemic is to see our industry initially collapse under the\\u00a0weight of lockdowns, restrictions and an immediate crisis with no clear end. To see so many\\u00a0colleagues at all levels go through shortened work weeks and hours, layoffs and business\\u00a0closure was horrible.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other thing I notice, and many have seen, has been the change in some customers unforgiving,\\u00a0\\u00a0rude and threatening. No place for this kind of behavior that is shown and in some\\u00a0cases now being shown by children who see this from adults.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there a light at the end of the tunnel, some see bright signs of recovery already this year?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, Yes, Yes!!! There is light as we move forward, no matter at what speed. This crisis has bred\\u00a0new innovation and ways to operate at all levels. We must embrace these new ways of\\u00a0working, ideas, technology and processes and not go back to previous ways.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you think will be the key to a revival?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The move from pandemic crisis, likely, to an endemic existence is a pathway to something\\u00a0close to normalcy.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listen to the science; use common sense; and keep informed as to what is going on.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result I encourage embracing change in the ways of working, use technology to help the\\u00a0process and think of ensuring a win for operators, a win for customers, and a win for owners.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;img width=\\&quot;770\\&quot; height=\\&quot;435\\&quot; src=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/intercontinental_hotel2-770x435-1.jpg\\&quot; alt=\\&quot;\\&quot; loading=\\&quot;lazy\\&quot; srcset=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/intercontinental_hotel2-770x435-1.jpg 770w, https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/intercontinental_hotel2-770x435-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/intercontinental_hotel2-770x435-1-768x434.jpg 768w\\&quot; sizes=\\&quot;(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\\&quot; \\\/&gt;\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How important is technology to the recovery and in general to the future of hospitality?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe technology is the cornerstone and the enabler for the future of hospitality. We are\\u00a0doing things differently now and will not go back to old ways. RoomOrders is a smart way to\\u00a0view the Food and Beverage business in hospitality-hotels, restaurants, clubs, resorts,\\u00a0conferences, exhibitions and trade fairs and more. It addresses the severe shortage of staffing\\u00a0numbers in hospitality and creates an efficient, easy, user friendly process to review menus and\\u00a0offerings, place orders, receive and pay for product and service. It is efficient and easy to\\u00a0install, train staff and operate and is extremely cost effective.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lastly, what is your forecast for the 2022 season?&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2022 will be better than \\u201921 and better than \\u201920 as the variants and spikes from variants\\u00a0become more understood and treated.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hospitality in general will continue to improve in demand for all segment over time. It will take\\u00a0longer for meetings, conferences and trade shows to come back. Individual and leisure will\\u00a0continue to improve and business travel will come back slowly and with reduced frequency and\\u00a0numbers.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The biggest challenge will be in staffing and availability of staff.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The will to serve and delight the customer is there and will result in changes in technology,\\u00a0processes and thinking by operators, customers and owners.

There are simply not enough people. In many countries, hotels and restaurants have completely reopened but with limited service and elongatated wait times. RoomOrders is seeing restaurants filled with empty tables and only two servers trying to keep up with immense demand.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;During summer, frustration was painfully visible on the faces of guests at sprawling resorts, desperate to flag down a waiters that were as rare as humpback whales in the Adriatic Sea.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;But what I find more alarming is what we are seeing happen during the recovery phase. A recent Bloomberg poll conducted on 13,000 job seekers, indicated more than half of U.S. hospitality workers said they wouldn\\u2019t go back to their jobs, while over a third said they aren&#039;t even considering reentering the industry. They cited low pay, workloads and unappreciation as key factors for what is now being called the Great Resignation.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;img width=\\&quot;224\\&quot; height=\\&quot;300\\&quot; src=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/07\\\/mobile-224x300.png\\&quot; alt=\\&quot;\\&quot; loading=\\&quot;lazy\\&quot; srcset=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/07\\\/mobile-224x300.png 224w, https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/07\\\/mobile-764x1024.png 764w, https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/07\\\/mobile-768x1029.png 768w, https:\\\/\\\/roomorders.com\\\/cms\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/07\\\/mobile.png 806w\\&quot; sizes=\\&quot;(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\\&quot; \\\/&gt;\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t&lt;p&gt;As an advisor for RoomOrders, I think we are watching a paradigm shift in the hospitality industry. Some things will never return to normal.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;Here are some of my observations:&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;1. Guests: I think that hotel and resort guests have been through a lot and they will be seeking a special kind of comfort from hospitality providers. The Covid-19 pandemic has left many without jobs, buyers or workers and they know that spending money is what makes the world go around, so this time they want to see exceptional value behind their consumption. This will be tricky, as they will crave reassurance about their safety, yet at the same time demand low contact with staff or other guests.&lt;br \\\/&gt;The perceived value of their hard-earned cash has increased coming out of the pandemic, and they will not accept mediocrity, nor risks.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;2. Hospitality staff: A lot of hospitality workers feel like they have been used and dispensed of without slightest consideration. Many were students or foreigners and had no choice but to return home. They lost their only source of income and having no welfare to fall back on like local staff, they had no choice but to abandon careers that were cut short before they even got off the ground. With the global tourism sector growing rapidly, it was natural for starters to climb the ladder from servants to managers at a reasonable pace, the pay-sacrifice totally commensurate with the short wait to an elevated status, with training and a title to boot. Understandable, with the industry still in tatters, returning to low pay and low status on indefinite timeline is hardly an attractive career choice.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;And here we are, hospitality is desperate for workers, while workers have gone on to pursue other professions.&lt;br \\\/&gt;Now the industry is scrambling \\u2014 scrambling for people and scrambling to give guests a better experience than before.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #fcfcfc; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\\&quot;&gt;Could there be a more appropriate time for disruption? The hospitality industry is one of the slowest to adapt - hotels are probably the last refuge of fixed phones in any business? Everybody is ready to throw out the old and bring in the new. It&#039;s time to revolutionize the way hotels and resorts operate, the industry needs to digitize in a way to assuage the labor shortage, while at the same time increase guest experience.&lt;br \\\/&gt;There needs to be a solution that uses technology to boost satisfaction.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;How can a smaller workforce provide improved experience?&lt;br \\\/&gt;I think the hospitality sector should follow the RoomOrders playbook.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;RoomOrders digitizes hotel and resort operations, particularly fod and beverages, where most staff is required. From procuring to cooking, preparing, waiting and serving. Whether it be in rooms or suites, apartments or camping bungalows, or poolsides, beachfronts, rooftops and golf tees, RoomOrders offers self-service via guest smart phone devices.&lt;br \\\/&gt;Customers have grown to expect on-demand service. Weaned on Amazon, Uber, Netflix and other instant services, particularly during the pandemic, consumers have become accustomed to ordering anything and everything at their fingertips.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;RoomOrders hops on this tidal wave, customizing the digital delivery service for hospitality, especially hotels and resorts.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;Guests simply scan a QR code or tap an NFC tag to order and pay for goods and services.

Hotels and restaurants will need to look for people with more passion and energy to interact in new ways with guests, as the simple tasks have been replaced by simple tech, rather than simple employees.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;The hospitality industry can maintain sustainability by pushing forward with continued education, development and career growth to maximize potential and optimize output.&lt;br \\\/&gt;Maybe it is time to abandon the tipping culture, forever eliminating low paying jobs that depend on gratuities?&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p style=\\&quot;margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, &#039;Times New Roman&#039;, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-weight: 400; background-color: #fcfcfc;\\&quot;&gt;As pressure builds to reinvent the hospitality model, the time is now to rethink the entire physical hotel structure that has been the same for 50 years. The industry must redesign its structures in a way that creates experiential moments and drives guest engagement by incorporating more of a community aspect.&lt;br \\\/&gt;RoomOrders offers hotels and resorts add-on features to connect with their community of vendors. If a hotel does not have a restaurant, but is surrounded by a few eateries, it can easily integrate to expand food options to their guests. The relationship is a win-win-win for hotels, guests and local vendors.&lt;br \\\/&gt;Not only that, RoomOrders can connect hotels with other vendors, like leisure and experience - whether it be a health spa, excursion, tourist attraction, bike rental, ski tickets, golf course, or much more.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The industry must see this mass labor exodus as a time to start investing highly in the people who run it by cultivating passionate professionals through giving them unbelievable skillsets and the opportunity to make money and serve guests with pride.&lt;br \\\/&gt;The hospitality industry needs to alter the mindset of how it works, beginning from its core foundations.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;post_title&quot;:&quot;Surviving the Big Labor Crunch!&quot;,&quot;post_excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_status&quot;:&quot;publish&quot;,&quot;comment_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;ping_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;post_password&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_name&quot;:&quot;the-big-hotel-labor-crunch&quot;,&quot;to_ping&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pinged&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_modified&quot;:&quot;2021-12-20 13:22:53&quot;,&quot;post_modified_gmt&quot;:&quot;2021-12-20 13:22:53&quot;,&quot;post_content_filtered&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_parent&quot;:0,&quot;guid&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorderscom.lin72.host25.com\\\/?p=5125&quot;,&quot;menu_order&quot;:0,&quot;post_type&quot;:&quot;post&quot;,&quot;post_mime_type&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;comment_count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;filter&quot;:&quot;raw&quot;},{&quot;ID&quot;:4912,&quot;post_author&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2021-09-17 11:45:52&quot;,&quot;post_date_gmt&quot;:&quot;2021-09-17 11:45:52&quot;,&quot;post_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;h2&gt;From trend to necessity!&lt;\\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;COVID-19 has been a double-edged sword. While it has suspended business for many hotels, particularly during lockdowns, it has also increased the urgency of digitalization, particularly contactless service, ie QR code ordering and payments. Mobile ordering is moving quickly from a trend sector to a booming sector, and in that respect we see it as a bigger revolution than food delivery - which is basically restricted to fixed addresses and extremely expensive.&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;\\\/strong&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roomorderscom.lin72.host25.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/09\\\/HTR-article-300x208.png\\&quot; alt=\\&quot;\\&quot; width=\\&quot;300\\&quot; height=\\&quot;208\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;It\\u2019s more convenient than ever to dine out or order in, thanks to the proliferation of food delivery apps and technology that makes ordering and payment a breeze.

At the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, the RoomOrders team saw an opportunity to bring their technology to not only hotel room service operations, but also to hospitality businesses ranging from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/hoteltechreport.com\\\/news\\\/restaurant-ordering-system\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; background-color: transparent; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out 0s, border 0.3s ease-in-out 0s, background 0.3s ease-in-out 0s, opacity 0.3s ease-in-out 0s; color: inherit; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, &#039;Nunito Sans&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; display: inline-block; line-height: 1.4; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-color: #6fbd8c !important;\\&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;\\\/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to health and beauty centers, convenience stores, and tourist attractions to meet the desire for contactless service.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;As RoomOrders CEO Eugene Jones says, \\u201cmobile ordering is moving quickly from a trending sector to a booming sector.\\u201d Tech-enabled options are becoming increasingly popular, and rather than being viewed as a novelty, a tech-forward experience is an expectation. Customers are also becoming more savvy. Consumers in the F&amp;amp;B space are accustomed to ordering everything from their mobile devices whether it\\u2019s a new pair of Nike shoes, their groceries, or even a Tesla.&amp;nbsp; It\\u2019s only natural that these guests expect room service on their smartphones, too.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;With mobile ordering, a customer can browse the menu, place an order, and pay on their smartphone without the need for in-person interaction with staff.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;\\u201cImagine the possibility of ordering a refreshing drink while relaxing by the pool...without having to get up to approach a bar to order,\\u201d says Jones.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;But mobile ordering isn\\u2019t for everyone. Jones recognizes that some guests relish the in-person interaction or don\\u2019t feel comfortable placing orders on their smartphone for a variety of reasons. The good news is that \\u201cguests have the option to order the old way or the new way, leaving customers with the ultimate freedom of choice.\\u201d Even when you implement mobile ordering, you can serve customers the way they want to be served.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Mobile ordering doesn\\u2019t just benefit customers - it\\u2019s good business: increased revenue, more efficient and helpful staff, and higher guest satisfaction.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Hotel businesses that partner with RoomOrders often report increases in overall revenue and average order volume. Why? RoomOrders eliminates friction in the ordering experience, so it\\u2019s easier than ever for customers to purchase food and drinks. Without mobile ordering, customers might decide not to order from your outlet if they see a long line or if they can\\u2019t flag down a server. Mobile ordering removes these obstacles and makes ordering effortless. Plus, the RoomOrders interface allows you to configure upsell options, specials, and tagging that make your menu items more compelling. Someone who might have skipped a side dish or dessert might be convinced to try it when they see it as a recommended pairing with their entree.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;In addition to highlighting the potential for revenue growth, Jones debunks a common misconception about mobile ordering systems. In our interview, he says \\u201ca digitalised hotel is not necessarily void of human labor, it actually frees up humans to be more hospitable.\\u201d The futuristic idea of a hotel run by robots isn\\u2019t going to be the future of your hotel with mobile ordering. The opposite is true; by letting technology handle menial, repetitive tasks like taking orders and running payment, your staff can focus on more important work, like building meaningful relationships with guests. Menu updates are seamless with a digital system like RoomOrders. Without a mobile ordering system, staff would need to reprint menus every time a menu item changed. RoomOrders allows you to make menu updates with just a few clicks so you can always keep your menus up-to-date and accurate.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Overall, mobile ordering helps you deliver a better guest experience. It makes the ordering process more efficient at your restaurant, and, as Eugene discusses in the interview, it can also give guests an alternative to a potentially frustrating experience like waiting on hold for room service. Ultimately, guests who have a better experience at your hotel spend more and are more likely to return which is why this once trendy technology is becoming a global staple.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Eager to learn more about mobile ordering?

However, QR code ordering has opened up new revenue streams by expanding ordering and payment opportunities outside bedrooms to the entire hotel or resort complex, as well as neighbourhood by connecting with community vendors. During the corona crisis, we realised digital ordering via QR codes or NFC tags could be done from anywhere outside hotels as well, from poolsides to beaches, rooftop bars to golf courses and neighbouring vendors, from restaurants to health and beauty centres, supermarkets and tourist attractions.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Why has mobile ordering been growing so rapidly in your opinion?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Apart from opening up new revenue streams, your hotel will have an edge over rival destinations by restoring confidence in health and safety as a digitalised, low-contact hotel offering self-service ordering and payments via guest smartphone. Today&#039;s guest expect on-demand service and integration with surrounding vendors allows QR code ordering and payments of almost anything from anywhere on the hotel or resort site.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;I think Asia, which has totally skipped credit cards and where people no longer have a use for wallets, is indicative of the future awaiting us. When I see the corona QR passports and vouchers, it is obvious that mobile ordering is inevitable and that everything will be digital, powered by lightning broadband communication. I think we will be ordering from holograms appearing in thin air...&amp;nbsp; It will be like snapping fingers to be served in an instant!&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Many hotels believe that QR codes and pdf menus are a \\u201cgood enough\\u201d solution for contactless ordering.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Contrary to that belief is documented reality that guests hate downloading pdfs or any apps and feel teased if they cannot order as well as pay after seeing digital menus. The beauty of digital ordering platforms is that guests have the option to order the old way or the new way, leaving customers with the ultimate freedom of choice&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;How should hoteliers feel about automation of routine tasks?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;There is always the danger of technology replacing human touch in hospitality and this can be seen as a positive in terms of cost savings for hotels during tough times, yet a loss for social interaction and engagement - something we have traditionally enjoyed as consumers. However, a digitalised hotel is not necessarily void of human labor, it actually frees up humans to be more hospitable,entertaining or helpful in the process of delivering excellent guest experience.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;How can hoteliers distinguish between mobile ordering software solutions?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Mobile ordering is different to room service as mobile ordering is remote and unrestricted, it can be done from anywhere across a hotel or resort, rather than just a hotel room. Room service on the other hand is limited to just a room and the guest experience confined to a room.&amp;nbsp; Imagine the possibility of ordering a refreshing drink while relaxing by the pool, or a finger-food snack, without having to get up to approach a bar to order or even pick up orders. Our research shows orders skyrocket throughout the whole day, especially hot days, in this particular scenario.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Hotels can\\u2019t be, or have, everything for guests, so RoomOrders is connecting hotel guests with surrounding vendors of all sorts of products and services on or off-site, expanding the guest experience by bringing anything, anywhere to their feet wherever they may be around the hotel or resort.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;What has been the impact of COVID on the state of mobile ordering?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;COVID has been a double-edged sword. While it has suspended business for many hotels, particularly during lockdowns, it has also increased the urgency of digitalization, particularly contactless service, ie QR code ordering and payments. Mobile ordering is moving quickly from a trend sector to a booming sector, and in that respect we see it as a bigger revolution than food delivery - which is basically restricted to fixed addresses and extremely expensive.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;I think Covid-19 has sped up the dawn of a new age, the fourth industrial revolution. Everything will be digital and accessible remotely, starting with our jobs. The adoption of new technology, particularly QR code ordering and payments will move from a trend to boom sector and like Asia, we will no longer carry credit cards or wallets. Our mobile phones will be a lifeline, the centre of our world and essential to survival. Accessing our phone as fast as possible will be key, so QR codes may be replaced by something faster, but right now it seems RoomOrders will be busy improving people\\u2019s lives by fast ordering and secure payments. I honestly cannot see a hotel or resort without RoomOrders or a competitor service.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Are there misconceptions amongst hoteliers in this emerging category?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;It\\u2019s true, hoteliers think it\\u2019s expensive, when it is actually free, zero capital investment. Other fallacies include preconceptions that guests want human contact with waiters or that older people are technophobes. The reality is that newer generations want immediate glorification, on-demand service. Amazon and food delivery has changed their expectations, to the point of even compromising quality for efficiency. Seniors are actually the fastest growing segment of adopters of social media, Sure they were a bit slower, but when they sense that old methods are fading, they adapt just as easily as other groups, provided that the experience is intuitional, or in other terms, easy.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Are there any stories that stick out to you where RoomOrders delivered outsized impact for clients?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p dir=\\&quot;ltr\\&quot; style=\\&quot;box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1e+06px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; font-family: &#039;Libre Franklin&#039;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.79;\\&quot;&gt;Just before the pandemic, I arrived on a late flight into Las Vegas to speak at a conference about the threats facing hospitality in the digital era, and I was really hungry. As the hotel didn\\u2019t provide room service in the evening, I picked up a flyer and ordered pizza delivery by phone. I had to go outside, passing restaurants in the casino lobby and there were about 20 or so others waiting for their delivery too, even though it was past midnight already, There was so much confusion, it was a horrible guest experience that gave us the idea to not only integrate all the surrounding restaurants of a hotel, but other vendors too. It also gave me fodder for my speech, which offered RoomOrders as a way to combat the threat of aggressive food delivery services preying on local restaurants and hotel guests.

Yeah, but do they\\u00a0&lt;em&gt;really&lt;\\\/em&gt;\\u00a0think that?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Trying to run the show at RoomOrders \\u2013 a guest self-service ordering and payment solution, this question has often kept me up at night.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;RoomOrders is used in over 200 leading hotel brands around the world, so you can imagine I\\u2019ve gotten to know a lot of hotel owners, GMs, operations, food and beverage and IT managers. RoomOrders is also used in a lot of restaurants and bars, including chains like Burger King, so the notion I get is the same for hospitality at large.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, I am also a glutton. I love to indulge in hotels and eat out every chance I get. So I pretty much have a good handle on what guests want too.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Honestly, I think hospitality providers do really think guest experience is foremost. The only problem is that they seem to have lost touch with what today\\u2019s guest considers a truly good experience.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Sure, contactless ordering and payment is no longer just a craze, it\\u2019s a necessity \\u2013 \\u2018the new norm.\\u2019 And sure, everyone in hospitality is keen to digitalise, or as we like to say, bring hospitality into the new Low-Touch Economy.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Hospitality providers know this. Guests know this. Everyone knows this. And for those who don\\u2019t, the corona virus has hammered the message home loud and clear.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;So what\\u2019s the catch?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The catch is that they don\\u2019t get what constitutes a great touchless experience?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It\\u2019s hard to blame hotel professionals, so many leading hospitality vendors find it easier to sell hotel-centric, rather than guest-centric solutions. Ironically, it\\u2019s the hotel-centric solutions that cost the big bucks.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;A case in point, a sturdy POS system is expensive. It\\u2019s procured through arduous processes requiring negotiation and rubber stamping. And if you want to integrate cloud payment solutions for example, that would run up costs like licences, implementation, configuration, as well as staff training. But hey, this will ultimately save you cash; it should streamline operations and make management much easier.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, you could just download an off-the-shelf solution and make life easier for the guest to order and pay on their own devices. They would even receive receipts in the mail.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It seems the secret is to strike the right balance. Not too clunky and fairly priced.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;But, back to my thoughts. If guest experience is really paramount, what is the gold standard in guest experience?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I like to think that the best guest experience in the world would be something like sitting or lying down anywhere - a busy downtown restaurant, a remote sandy beach - and I could order whatever I conjured up, with just the click of my fingers. And voila! It would appear before my eyes, and I wouldn\\u2019t have to rummage through my pants or towel to find my wallet, to pay for it.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ok, you are right, RoomOrders has not invented a genie in a bottle. But I think we\\u2019ve created the next best thing.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;If you are a hospitality decision-maker, and you really care about guest experience, I would suggest you put yourself in the shoes of the guest yourself. The guest-centric solutions out there are low or even zero CAPEX. They do not disrupt usual operations, they do not require training and they vastly improve your business.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I won\\u2019t mention the bottom line. It\\u2019s astonishing what a difference digitalization makes to revenues, whether it be streamlined processes, easy monitoring, analytics and management or more than double the previous average check values.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;All this sounds awesome, I know. But that\\u2019s so last year\\u2019s model for us at RoomOrders, we are not just digitalising operations for individual hospitality providers, we are already building digital ecosystems, interconnecting accommodation providers with entire communities of vendors, from food to leisure and experiences.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Imagine staying in a hotel or Airbnb in a foreign place and scanning a QR code that opens entire communities of local vendors at the touch of your phone. It doesn\\u2019t matter where you are, Brisbane, Boston or Barcelona, the same seamless guest experience \\u2013 without downloading an app.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The trick is that people love technology. They just don\\u2019t love other people\\u2019s technology. They demand instant gratification and their preferred method is via their smart phone devices that they carry with them everywhere they go.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Did I mention busy downtown restaurants and remote sandy beaches?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- \\\/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- \\\/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;post_title&quot;:&quot;We care about guest experience.
