Dear Readers, "The Heat Is On: Why Summer 2025 Could Redefine Hospitality"

As summer 2025 arrives, the hospitality industry isn’t just heating up with seasonal demand— it’s evolving at warp speed.

From beachside resorts in full swing to restaurant patios reclaiming the city sidewalks, June is more than peak season—it’s a stress test for innovation, staffing, and guest experience. Operators who survived the past few years know: adaptation is everything. What’s different this summer? For one, AI-powered operations are now moving from back-of- house to front-of-house. We're seeing hotels testing facial check-ins, restaurants experimenting with robotic prep, and customer engagement shifting to real-time feedback loops powered by tech. It's not the future—it's the new normal.
