Streamlined IT service delivery for employees can translate to delightful experiences for guests in hotels and restaurants. The dynamic hospitality industry is constantly striving to keep up with the changing demands of customers. However,affecting online touchpoints, to seasonal demand for extra devices and kiosks, a standardized process to manage these IT services establishes the base needed for consistent guest experiences across all destinations.
In an industry dominated by customer experience, an IT services team that doesn't enforce industry best practices will perpetually extinguish high-priority incidents while chasing after delayed service requests. Such inefficient request management can lead to internal service failures and end up disrupting the guest experience. For instance, if an events hall is booked for a business conference but the IT team isn't notified of it automatically, it could lead to low bandwidth allocation and poor internet access during the event. Lack of robust back-end processes could even lead to dire consequences, such as a customer data breach.
