Automation and Digital Transformation: The Key to Unlocking Hotel Sales Profits and Productivity — Source: Parclane Sometimes in life, we come across a perfect pairing. Perhaps it’s a delicious, full-bodied red wine served with a perfectly cooked flank steak. Maybe it’s the partner whose organizational expertise helps balance out and structure your creative inspirations and passions. Or, in the world of hospitality, it may be the system that was created with a singular, impactful purpose: to supercharge the functionality of a hotel or venue’s sales and catering system. When we look at the traditional hospitality technology stack, we can identify three core areas of business: revenue management (the RMS), property management (the PMS), and sales and catering system (S&C). These pillars, and the platforms created to champion them, are integral to the success of any hotel or venue. But should we view these platforms as all-encompassing, siloed solutions? Or are hotels far too often overlooking the potential for a perfect pairing; a sales and catering platform paired with a dedicated marketing automation platform? The hotel industry, unlike most others, has largely failed to adopt marketing automation – in other words, the software that assists marketers with customer segmentation, customer […]

Danker delivered his first public speech of 2023 on Monday (23 January) at the University College London. The speech reflected on the economic growth approaches of the three Conservative Prime Ministers the UK has seen within a 12-month period and saw Danker arguing that, while incumbent Rishi Sunak should “comfortably” hit his pledge to grow the economy by 0.1% by the end of 2023 , growth could be limited to this level unless he and his Cabinet set their sights higher. Danker argued that a key lever for delivering growth beyond this level, despite economic headwinds, will be innovation in the fields needed to deliver the UK’s legally binding 2050 net-zero target. He emphasised how, given that net-zero targets from nations and regions now cover 91% of global GDP, the UK is in a global cleantech race that it is not winning. He said he is “worried” about the UK’s “complacency on green technologies” and found Chris Skidmore’s recent Net-Zero Review “devastating” . The review pointed out more than 120 interventions that the UK Government would need to make to deliver a ‘pro-business, pro-growth’ transition to net-zero, concluding that there is still time to seize this opportunity but that […]

New York CNN — For the first time since the early days of the pandemic, most business economists expect their companies to cut payrolls in the coming months , according to a new survey released Monday. Just 12% of economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) anticipate employment will increase at their firms over the next three months, down from 22% this fall. The share of economists expecting payrolls will decline at their companies ticked up to 19%, according to the survey, which was conducted January 4 to January 11. NABE said this is the first time since 2020 that more respondents anticipate shrinking, rather than growing, employment at their firms. The findings indicate “widespread concern about entering a recession this year,” Julia Coronado, president of NABE and president of MacroPolicy Perspectives, said in the report. The survey found that slightly more than half of the business economists who responded peg the risk of a recession over the next year at 50% or higher, with the biggest risks including higher interest rates and costs. A flurry of layoffs have hit the economy in recent weeks, including ones announced on Monday by Spotify and Rubbermaid parent Newell […]
