Connecting the Customer Journey
From pre-visit to in-venue and post-visit, this series looks at how technology is already improving customer experiences in pubs, bars and restaurants and will continue to do so for years to come as not only the technology, but customer needs, evolve.
Habits formed during the pandemic will impact customer behaviour beyond 2021. Nowhere is this more true than in the hospitality sector, where customers adapted to digital solutions implemented during the course of the pandemic and have understood how they can enhance their experience.
Zonal research shows how customer perceptions of technology in hospitality have changed – two fifths of consumers say tech improves their hospitality experiences.
