Tim Hentschel is the founder of HotelPlanner, which sought to digitize the analog process of booking group business in hotels. HotelPlanner has changed a lot since it launched, and Tim is now exploring other ways to digitize analog processes in the hotel industry.

What you’ll learn about in this episode:

– Why AI might not fully replace human agents in high-touch services.
– How the flexibility of gig work is gamified for customer service agents.
– How AI is being integrated into HotelPlanner’s customer service operations.
– Why the hospitality industry is resistant to fully automating meeting space bookings.
– What challenges revenue management systems face during high-demand events like the Olympics.
