Following the recent budget announcement, UKHospitality has described the upcoming financial hurdles as the “latest blow” for hospitality, with rising employment and NIC costs forecasted to add £3 billion to the sector’s annual tax bill in 2025.
These financial pressures have intensified the need for businesses to innovate, and the hospitality industry is rethinking its approach, with several key trends emerging:
📲 Contactless self-service options: businesses are turning to contactless ordering and payment solutions, that allow guests to order and pay through their device or kiosk, to remove time-consuming tasks and streamline order processes
🤖 Smart automation: by automating the order input and upselling processes, sending orders directly into your POS systems, businesses are streamlining operations and reducing reliance on manual input, which frees up staff time to focus on the guest
📊 Data-driven decisions: businesses are leveraging real-time guest data and analytics to improve their service efficiency, optimise staffing, and create personalised guest experiences
While the road ahead may look challenging, wi-Q Technologies is committed to supporting these industry shifts, empowering you to continue to deliver outstanding guest experiences.
