Customer experience (CX) trends
in the hotel and restaurant industry
Changes in the hotel and restaurant sector
- Highly competitive, the hotel and restaurant sector has also been hit hard by the health crisis and its restrictions. The sector has been changing for several years and has already begun to adapt to the growing demands of its customers and their new consumption habits. Among these, the explosion of take-away orders, but also of deliveries, made directly or through third-party platforms, stands out. The last few months have exacerbated the gap between the most resilient players and those who are slow to transform.
- Fast-food restaurants and restaurants offering table service are faced with a highly volatile customer base. In addition, the low barriers to entry in the sector allow many young and innovative players to try their luck at renewing the panorama of the sector.
- From the search and reservation of an establishment or the choice of menu to the order and its delivery through the evaluation of the sign: digital has definitely pushed the doors of the kitchens.
