Tristar Hotel Group: Customer Satisfaction and Technology Adoption
內容大綱
Ken Edwards, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Tristar Hotel Group (Tristar), was reviewing the financial performance for his bustling hotel portfolio. In the spirit of the risk-taking and experimental mindset that Edwards brought to Tristar, adopting automated robotic service delivery was top of his mind. Earlier in the year, he had authorized a pilot project to evaluate the costs and benefits of using a robot named ARCHIE; now he needed to determine whether to proceed and implement ARCHIE for room service delivery on a full-scale basis at one of Tristar’s hotel properties.
