  • How Hotels are Using Robots to Reduce Costs, Improve Operations and Enhance the Guest Experience
  • The history of robots in the hospitality industry dates back to the early 2000s when the world’s first robotic concierge was introduced at the Aloft Hotel in Cupertino, California.
  • More recently, the hotel deployed a robot named ALO butler. ALO delivers items to guests’ rooms 24 hours a day, including towels, toiletries, and complimentary snacks. The results have been impressive. Guests have responded positively to the convenience of having access to room service around the clock, and the hotel has reported significant reductions in labor costs. In addition, the robots have helped to improve guest satisfaction scores by providing a consistently high level of service.

  • Today, robots are being used in a variety of hotel departments, including housekeeping, food and beverage, and even security. And the benefits of using robots in the hotel industry are many.
  • The challenges and obstacles related to robots in hotels are also many. One of the biggest challenges is the cost of implementing and maintaining a robotic infrastructure. Another challenge is the lack of standardization. There are no industry-wide standards for hotel robots, which makes it difficult for hoteliers to compare and select the right robot for their needs. Finally, there is the issue of public perception. Some people may view robots as a threat to jobs. Others may see them as a nuisance.
  • For guests, the benefits are mostly related to convenience.
  • Robots can help to improve operational efficiency by automating tasks that are typically done manually. They can also help to enhance the guest experience by providing a more personalized service. In addition, robots can help to reduce costs and save time. For example, robotic valets can park cars for guests and robotic concierges can provide information about the hotel and its amenities.
  • Despite the challenges, the future of hotel robotics is very bright. The global market for hotel robots is expected to grow from $79 million in 2020 to $338 million by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.8%, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets. This growth is being driven by the increasing adoption of robots in the hospitality industry and the growing need for efficient and cost-effective solutions. Hotels are increasingly turning to robots to improve operations and enhance the guest experience. And the future of hotel robotics is very bright.

  • A human resource information system (HRIS) is computer software employers use to manage the human resources functions of their organization. It has the capability to maintain employment records of all staff members, and employers can use it to collect metrics surrounding the firm’s staffing, performance management, compensation and benefits activities. Although not all companies utilize an HRIS system, there are many benefits to doing so.
  • An HRIS system typically holds all information surrounding the firm’s human resources initiatives, including details regarding the group's hiring practices, such as a comprehensive listing of all job applicants, an up-to-date index of job openings and electronic copies of each employee’s onboarding paperwork, such as I-9 and W2 forms
  • An HRIS system allows candidates for open positions to submit their resumes and contact information to a potential employer from a remote computer. The system then collects the information and archives it so it is easily accessible by the hiring manager.

    HRIS is a computer software employers use to manage the human resources functions of hotels. There are lots of benefits of using this system. According to this article, the most advantage by using HRIS is that it helps create reports and presentation. For instance, the system holds all the informations about human resources in hotels. You can find your employees' personal information very easily and don't have to ask them to bring their documents any more such as I-20 or I-9 forms. The second benefit is related to recruitment, which means it can provide information not only internal staffs but also external job applicants. The third advantage is that by using HRIS, employees themselves can focus on their own profiles. They can log in themselves and change and update their status and required details, which becomes a better way to manage themselves.

    I was interested in the hiring process of this system, how does it narrow down possible candidates and what is the interview process? It seems like the system is geared more towards current employees than potential employees. Also, how are these tax forms filled out? Are they submitted electronically or do you have to go in person to fill them out? Some companies can e-mail them to you and you record your results and send e-mail them back it's that simple. I wasn't getting it from this system.
