A LOBBY TALK SERIES

Lobby Talk Explains.

We explain hotel technology companies like we're talking to a 10-year-old. No buzzwords. No next-generation anything. Just what the company actually does.

Hotel tech websites are full of words that mean nothing. Next-generation. Industry-leading. AI-powered. Then someone asks what the company actually does and the room goes quiet. So we explain them properly — one analogy at a time.

  • SnapFixMAINTENANCE & OPERATIONS

    See a problem, take a picture, and it turns into something that actually gets done — with a record to prove it happened.

  • The GuestbookDIRECT BOOKING REWARDS

    The traveler gets rewarded and the hotel keeps the direct booking. Everybody wins — except the giant travel website, and they'll survive.

  • AEOANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

    People are starting to ask AI where to stay, eat, and go. If it can't easily understand your hotel, you just won't show up in the answer.

  • MCPMODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL

    AI gets far more useful when it can plug into real systems. Instead of only answering "what time is check-in?", it could answer "do I have a reservation tonight?" by checking the reservation system itself.

  • AziraLOCATION INTELLIGENCE

    Maybe they discover guests who visit the beach usually stay an extra night, or that a new advertising campaign brought more visitors than last summer. Smarter decisions — and the ability to market to those exact same people.

  • AlliantsGUEST EXPERIENCE

    It puts the entire hotel journey into one app, making every stay easier from check-in to check-out.

  • HovrGUEST-FACING VIDEO

    Pictures show you what a hotel looks like. Video helps you imagine staying there. And when you can picture the trip, you are more likely to book it.

  • Amaze InsightsSALES & REVENUE DATA

    A hotel manager stops guessing how business is going. Revenue up, group bookings down, one salesperson having an amazing month — all in one place.

FOR HOTEL TECH COMPANIES

Want us to explain your company?

If someone has ever asked what your product does and you watched their eyes glaze over halfway through the answer, this is for you. We take what you do and explain it the way you would to a ten-year-old — which, it turns out, is also how most people want to hear it.

We made the first episode ourselves, to prove the format works. Tell us about your company and we will take it from there.
