The technology that goes into running a hotel can be quite confusing at times. From a Property Management System, Channel Manager, GDS, Menu tabs, Door locks/key cards, CCTV, engineering control systems, fire safety, etc. buying the correct product from the right vendor can be a frustrating exercise. AMC’s related to each of these products can add a considerable component to the annual operating costs.
Hence careful planning at the design stage can help to address many of the challenges that investors face, both during and after completion of the project.
Today, safety plays a significant role in running a hotel, both from a compliance perspective as well as a customer. Companies have become fairly strict in their hotel audit before they certify you as competent to accommodate their employees.
