To Balance Costs and Quality in Hospitality, Consider Embracing Gig-Based Staffing Solutions

Yeah. If I may chime in, you know, kinda going back to the the question at hand. Obviously, these are are great great points, regarding technology. Just overall other challenges as that we're we're also seeing rising costs across the board, whether that is the cost of food, whether it's the cost of supplies, whether it's, the cost cost cost to pay employees, all of that. So, definitely rising cost and then trying to find that sweet spot where things are now costing more, but we don't wanna necessarily raise the room rate significantly more to be a deterrent to incoming guests. So that's still we're finding that sweet spot. Obviously, it really depends on the market and, and the hotel, but that is certainly on top of mind for everybody. And then staffing shortages, is this ever ongoing, challenge? We are seeing maybe a couple properties look into or lean into different ways of of hiring or or, staffing, whether it's more of a gig based hiring option or system. So I think we'll be seeing more of that in the future. Training, I know we talked about training specifically here for, technology and when you're you're implementing a new system, but it's also just training across the board. It's so often, properties haven't been able to have the bandwidth to take the team aside to properly train them. They're very much let you know, letting them run with it. So that's also a huge challenge when it comes to, staff retention because, you know, if a team member comes on board and they're not properly trained and just thrown to the wolves, so to speak. I mean, we'd like to think they're nicer than wolves, but you know what I mean. But just don't just figure it out on the fly. They don't necessarily feel like they're they're part of the team or the family. So, I mean, these are again, it's a little bit more high level, but some of the the big, talking points that, a lot of hotel owners, and operators are definitely having.
