73% of Leaders Say Frontline Employees Hold the Key to Exceptional Hospitality

January 13, 2025

Recent insights reveal a striking gap in how the hospitality sector equips its frontline workforce with digital tools. The UK Hospitality Tech Show highlighted a critical takeaway: hospitality organizations are leaving untapped potential on the table by not investing in solutions for frontline employees. 

The Data Speaks Loudly

Only 14.5% of hospitality organizations provide multilingual communication tools to their teams. This shortfall contrasts starkly with the 71.7% of leaders who recognize that a positive employee experience directly impacts customer satisfaction. Even more telling, 27.6% of organizations rely on standalone tools, and 21.1% have no formal processes in place for workforce management. These statistics underscore a widespread reliance on outdated, fragmented systems. 

Why the Delay in Digital Transformation?

When asked about barriers to adopting digital workforce solutions, 30.3% of leaders cited budget constraints, while 25.7% struggled with integration challenges. Additionally, more than half (53.9%) of businesses lack a clear understanding of how employee experience ties to profitability. These hurdles highlight the need for platforms that demonstrate both immediate and long-term ROI. 

A Clear Way Forward

Frontline employees are the foundation of the hospitality industry. It’s no surprise that organizations prioritize employee well-being (37.5%) and flexible scheduling (23%) as key areas for improvement. However, to truly make an impact, they need tools that scale seamlessly and connect HQ with the frontline.
