Making up for lost revenue and recruitment challenges
The pandemic took its toll on many industries, not least hospitality. With venues closing and staff shortages, simply getting by has been a challenge. Now that we’re coming out of the pandemic, learn how the hospitality industry is turning to AI solutions to make up for lost revenue.
We’re joined by Brian Jeppesen, Director, Contact Centre Operations, Landry’s Restaurants, to discuss how an AI-enabled call centre has enabled Landry’s to bounce back stronger than ever, dealing with the chronic recruitment challenges and turning to AI as a way to scale and improve customer experience.
