Mobile Tech Showcase: Hot Solutions for Running Mobile-First Hotels and Restaurants
9/18/2015
Mobile is not a channel – it’s becoming the central platform for all systems. The untethered device is now the primary screen, spanning from mobile POS to guest apps in restaurants; from mobile property management systems to mobile keys in hotels.
Hotels and restaurants are starting to think with a “mobile first” mentality. They’re working on a transition to mobile as the central framework, recognizing that every interaction or function needs the flexibility to be performed within the field. Inside this supplement, restaurants and hotels can evaluate the hottest mobile solutions in the marketplace to find ones that are the right fit for their businesses.
