Hotel groups are losing thousands of hours every year to manual, repetitive, and poorly standardized workflows across operations, finance, and reservations. The real issue isn’t just inefficiency, but inconsistency between properties, which leads to data errors, compliance risks, and limits the ability to scale. Automation solves this by standardizing processes, improving data quality, and freeing teams to focus on guests instead of fixes. That’s why RobosizeME is hosting an educational webinar on February 23, sharing real examples, real numbers, and a clear framework to identify where automation can deliver immediate, measurable impact.

RobosizeME has been announced as a sponsor and guest speaker at Revenue Strategy Days 2026, taking place February 4–5 at the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa in Riga. Hosted by Radisson Hotels Group under the theme Together Towards Tomorrow, the event brings together commercial leaders from across Europe to explore how AI and automation are reshaping hospitality revenue strategy. RobosizeME will contribute practical insights into how automation is already delivering measurable gains in efficiency, accuracy, and commercial performance across hotel groups.

In hospitality, time is the most valuable resource, yet too much of it is lost to repetitive admin, manual reporting, and disconnected systems. This article explores what hotels are actually experiencing in day-to-day operations as AI and automation become part of their workflows. Based on real hotel data and the latest h2c study, automation is not replacing people. It is releasing them. While job-loss fears are understandable, history shows that technology in hospitality has always elevated human work rather than erased it. Today, 66% of hotel chains say AI already helps their teams focus on more strategic or guest-facing tasks, while only a small minority report any reduction in staff. The real value of automation lies in removing predictable, repetitive tasks so people can focus on what defines great hospitality: human connection, judgment, empathy, and creativity. Hotels are intentionally keeping humans in control, using AI to provide faster insights, cleaner data, and operational clarity, not to make decisions in isolation. The biggest risk is not automation. It is underusing human potential by keeping skilled teams buried in low-value work while guest expectations continue to rise. At RobosizeME, we design workflow automation with one clear purpose: to give hotel teams back their time, focus, and confidence, so they can deliver more human hospitality, not less.

Automation in hospitality doesn’t usually fail dramatically. It fails silently. And that’s exactly why most hotel automation projects never scale. This article explains why reliability must come before ROI. When automation hides errors instead of surfacing them in real time, finance and operations teams end up firefighting, guests feel the impact, and trust disappears. And without trust, ROI can’t be measured, let alone achieved. Using real hotel data and live operational examples, we show what 99%+ reliability actually means in practice. From OTA commission validation to invoice and deposit matching, and why generalist automation tools often break in hospitality environments full of legacy systems and edge cases. The takeaway is simple: Reliability builds trust. Trust enables scale. Scale unlocks ROI. If your automation can’t tell you what happens when something goes wrong, it’s not ready for real hotel operations.

AI promises smarter decisions, faster insights, and better forecasting — but without structure, intelligence only scales inconsistency. Drawing on insights from the h2c 2025 AI & Automation Study, this article explains why most hotel groups struggle to realize AI value and why automation must come first. By stabilizing execution, removing variability, and generating clean data at the source, workflow automation creates the operational foundation AI needs to function reliably. For hotel leaders, the path forward is clear: execution before interpretation, consistency before intelligence.

RobosizeME will spotlight real-world results from its OHIP-integrated workflow automation at the Oracle Hospitality Summit 2026 in London. Already saving hotel teams more than 24,000 staff hours annually, RobosizeME’s purpose-built automations demonstrate how Oracle Hospitality customers are transforming manual front- and back-office workflows into touchless, scalable operations. From batch deposit processing to commission verification and third-party routing, the company’s solutions show how automation can deliver immediate, measurable impact without disruption — allowing hotel teams to focus on guests, not administration.

You didn’t get into hospitality to manage spreadsheets — yet too many hotel teams still spend hours each day on repetitive, mind-numbing tasks that drain time, morale, and talent. Despite rising labor pressure, most hotel groups remain stuck in pilot automation projects, leaving teams buried in manual work that adds little strategic value. This article shares three real-world automation stories from global hotel groups that decided to act. From eliminating rate-code chaos across thousands of properties, to automating commission reconciliation, to freeing entire teams from profile-cleanup backlogs, these examples show what happens when automation is applied where it matters most. No rip-and-replace. No five-year roadmap. Just practical workflow automation that restores human capacity, improves accuracy, and lets hotel teams focus on guests, not keyboards.

AI hype is everywhere in hospitality — but the h2c Global AI & Automation Study reveals a different reality. Hotels trust AI, but barely rely on it. Why? Because most teams still confuse AI with automation, expect AI to execute tasks it’s not built for, and try to scale “intelligent” solutions without the operational foundations required to support them. This article breaks down the key misconceptions, highlights the real performance gap (automation delivers today; AI enhances tomorrow), and gives hotel leaders a clear roadmap: start with low-complexity repetitive tasks, fix data with automation, track measurable KPIs, and only then layer AI where reasoning truly matters. If hospitality wants to unlock real efficiency gains, reduce operational friction, and prepare for the next decade of tech adoption, automation must come first.
