Why Is Hotel Security Important? - American Protection Group - 0 views

  • Hotels are part of the hospitality industry, where providing good customer service is essential. A hotel’s reputation is staked largely on the guest experience, and investing in proper security services plays a central role in ensuring guests feel safe and protected. It also protects owners from the damages and costs that may arise from criminal activity such as theft.
  • Security officers patrolling the hotel’s grounds can look out for suspicious activity. Hotels should have security officers regularly patrol the hallways, stairwells, lobbies, parking lots, restaurants and bars.
  • Security officers can handle unruly guests or visitors and prevent negative situations from spiraling out of control. Officers can also provide additional protection to VIP or controversial guests of the hotel that might attract public attention or protests.

  • Security officers can prevent hotels from incurring property damage, particularly if officers are patrolling the hotel’s grounds. They can also assist in incidents involving guests damaging their rooms.
  • In addition, the presence of security officers at a hotel can make guests and employees feel safer and more at ease. Many hotel guests are in an unfamiliar location, and this sense of security can increase their satisfaction with the hotel.
  • Security officers on the premises of a hotel can react appropriately and rapidly when emergencies occur. In the case of a fire, they can help evacuate guests and maintain order. In a shooting or other act of violence, they can stop the perpetrator and protect guests and staff from danger. They can also provide valuable assistance and information to law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.
  • Hotel guests may occasionally become unruly or intoxicated, particularly in hotels with bars. Security officers follow hotel policy for dealing with these guests by escorting them either off of the premises or to a taxi, or detaining them for the police as appropriate. They can also escort trespassers and loiterers off the premises. In addition, security officers can safely help staff and guests to their vehicles upon request if they feel unsafe.

Customers' acceptance intention of self‑service technology of restaurant indu... - 0 views

  •  
    The article presented above was published in 2020, making it a perfect example of the speed of technological advancement. Focusing mainly on implementing kiosks in a fast food chain two years ago caused strangeness and resistance among the age group above forty, the pre-computer generation. Nowadays, just two years later, we can see that this technology is a reality mostly in the fast-food market, mainly the big chains, and the theory that the intercommunication between generations would provide a greater acceptance of the older age group has been positive. However, despite the quantitative content of the research being competent, presenting data relevant to the content, we must emphasize two reticences: the research was directed only to the fast-food market, centralizing the study only to a segment of the restaurant market; second, all analysis is based on the South Korean reality, which does not necessarily show a global vision of the theme. Despite the reluctance, the article works as a reflection of how technological evolution has influenced the hospitality market, also serving as an eye-opening for future investments in this tool.

  • How This Wearable Tech Device Provides Custom Marketing at Large Events

      I was hoping there would be a chance to share this article during the semester. This article from 2016 discusses an RFID bracelet that allows the event host to collect information on the attendees - however it doesn't have to be personal data, it's more about their interests and then using this information to create a memorable experience. Interactive marketing is a dominant force in the industry. Many consumers feel as though they need to connect to a brand before they work it into their lives. Technology can aid that process along.
  • On November 2 at the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, a new tech product debuted that offers a different way for planners to communicate directly with their attendees
  • Hurdl has created a wearable device that has applications at a variety of events such as festivals, sporting events, trade shows, and fund-raisers. The brains of the wristband are housed in a circular LED button called a Pixl that attaches to the wristband. Guests receive a band upon arrival at an event, and then activate it by texting the unique code associated with their band to a phone number. In response, the guest receives a text that has an opt-in privacy policy and asks a series of questions created by the event host to gather the data they want for the event.

  • “The client can ask any question. 'What team are you cheering for? What’s your favorite song? How are identifying your gender?'” says Hurdl co-founder Betsy McHugh. “From that point forward, the event happens, and your wearable will light up based on your unique answers. For example, if Beyoncé wants to light up all the single ladies, or a sporting team wants to light up all the people who served in the military.”

      While the concept behind the bracelet can translate to almost any setting, the way each event using the technology is different which makes every experience unique.
  • create a meaningful communal experience
  • Once the guest activates the wristband via text, the event host can communicate directly with that person. “Now that we’ve built this one-to-one communication network … you get to not only be part of the experience, you can also can get a text from the host. It could say, ‘Go to the concession stand to get a free Coke for the next 10 minutes,’ or ‘Go to the merchandise stands and you’ll get 10 percent off,” McHugh says.
  • In a trade show environment, Hurdl’s algorithm can analyze the anonymized data to help sponsors and exhibitors target messaging to specific attendees.
