Join Access Hospitality and explore the future of AI in hospitality on November 27th

Access Hospitality invites you to join us at an exclusive event for hoteliers, restaurateurs, consultants and hospitality innovators to explore the future of AI in hospitality. The Access Evo-Experience: Where Hospitality Meets AI Innovation.

Why now?

Hospitality is changing, again…

Remember when the industry first talked about social media and many were slow to adapt? AI is that next moment. Those that become the early adopters of AI will define the next decade of hospitality success, future proofing how we train our teams, how we communicate with guests, how we control costs, and how we make more informed decisions.

Just as social media once redefined how we communicate with guests, AI is now redefining how we run our businesses.

The question isn’t whether AI will impact hospitality. The real questions are, how soon and how ready you, as an industry, will be to make the most of it.

Our latest Access Hospitality AI in Hospitality Report, created from insights with 1,000 businesses and 8,000 consumers across six international markets (including Ireland), reveals just how critical connected intelligence has become:

286 hours are lost every year switching between disconnected systems, which is the equivalent of 36 working days wasted PER manager!!!
13% of operational costs are lost to inefficiencies caused by unconnected software
60% of operators say their data is incomplete or unreliable due to system
fragmentation
76% say real-time, consolidated data would be a game-changer for their decision-
making.
57% of consumers believe technology has already improved their hospitality
experience.

Behind every great guest experience sits a web of systems, from property management and reservations to payroll, stock control, and POS, more often than not, they are disconnected from each other, costing your business time and money.That’s where Evo comes in.

The AI that brings your systems together

Access Evo is the next chapter in hospitality technology, the AI layer that connects and empowers your Access products. Access Hospitality already empowers the industry with trusted products that you’ll recognise, from Guestline and ResDiary to Procure Wizard, RotaReady, and Avvio. But the next evolution is here, enter Access Evo, the intelligent layer that connects them all.

Access Evo isn’t just another platform, it’s like your AI co-pilot. It consistently learns from your business. It picks up on inefficiencies, it spots trends, it can predict demand and it provides insights, in real-time, to help you make faster, smarter and more informed decisions.

Could you imagine…

Your dashboard greeting you in the morning with the day’s key trends and actions
Evo predicting when you’ll need extra staff or restocks before you even realise it
Spotting recurring inefficiencies i.e. “every Wednesday you’re overstaffed by four
housekeepers”. Did you know that?
Extra support when onboarding, training, and guest messaging with AI-powered
clarity
Freeing up your managers to focus on people, guests, staff etc. and not paperwork.

This isn’t the future. It’s the technology you need now.

The Future of Hospitality Starts Here

If you’re a hotelier, restaurateur, consultant, or investor, The Access Evo Experience is your chance to see what’s next and how AI can help your business stay ahead of it.

The hospitality industry has always thrived on its ability to adapt (think Covid!). Now, as AI takes centre stage, its early adopters will define the standards for efficiency, creativity and guest experience for the decade (s) ahead.

As Champa Magesh, Managing Director of Access Hospitality, says:

“Technology should never replace hospitality’s human touch but instead support it by removing inefficiencies and freeing staff to focus on what really matters: creating memorable experiences.”
