Computer usage in hotel and foodservice management educationRobbinson Willis
This document discusses the importance of technology and the internet for the tourism and hospitality industries. It provides two strategic frameworks for analyzing the impact of the internet - the 4Ps model and a PEST analysis. The 4Ps model addresses how consumer expectations are shifting with the internet as a product. The PEST analysis looks at the political, economic, social and technological factors affecting the development and use of the internet in these industries. An example is also given of how Hilton Hotels Group uses technological innovations and information systems to gain benefits. Overall, the document analyzes how the tourism and hospitality sectors can leverage information technologies and the internet to improve operations, marketing and gain competitive advantages.
The document discusses the role of the internet in the hotel industry. It outlines various internet channels used by hotels, including websites, booking websites, social media, and smartphone apps. It then discusses how the internet can be used as a marketing tool, booking/reservation tool, and how it impacts the hotel's financial performance and customer relationships. Key points are that the internet allows hotels to reach more customers at lower costs, generate higher revenues through additional booking channels, and facilitate easier customer communication and transactions.
M.S. Oberoi started his hotel career in 1922 as a billing clerk at The Cecil hotel in Shimla, India. Within a few years, he helped purchase and manage The Carlton Hotel, which was later renamed Clarkes. In 1934, he purchased the hotel fully. As India gained independence, Oberoi expanded his hotel business and established the Oberoi Group and East India Hotels Ltd. The Oberoi Group now owns and manages over 30 luxury hotels worldwide known for excellent service and amenities.
A good IT system for a hotel comprises hardware, software, and the right people. Hotel management software is used for tasks like reservations, guest and inventory management from check-in to check-out. It applies to various hotel departments like finance, food and beverage. Travelers now demand faster Wi-Fi and computer/DVD access. Mobile apps provide marketing benefits like increased bookings and orders through features like digital menus and feedback. SMS software allows communication to guests for occasions and reservations, and to staff for events.
The document summarizes the origin and development of the hotel industry. It traces the concept of hospitality back to ancient Greece and Rome. Organized inns emerged in Europe in the 13th century and coffee houses opened in the 17th century. The industrial revolution spurred the growth of English inns. The first hotel building was constructed in New York City in 1794. The hotel industry developed further in the 19th century with elegant hotels opening across Europe and North America. In India, hotels emerged under the Mughals and British and the Taj Mahal Hotel opened in 1903, establishing the Taj Group. Other major Indian hotel chains discussed include Oberoi, ITC Welcomgroup, and ITDC.
Impact of information tech on hospitality industryPranav Juwatkar
The document discusses how information technology has revolutionized the hospitality industry over the past 20 years. It first provides a brief history of the industry's transition from paper-based to computerized systems. It then outlines several problems the industry faced due to a lack of IT, such as inaccurate record keeping. The bulk of the document details the various technologies now used, including property management systems, point of sale systems, smart room features, and security measures. It explains how these technologies have improved operations in areas like front desk management, food and beverage sales, energy usage, and staff scheduling. Finally, the document concludes that IT has greatly enhanced the industry's professionalism and productivity.
The Oberoi Group is a luxury hotel chain founded in 1934 that now operates 30 hotels across India and 6 other countries. It is known for operating some of the top ranked luxury hotels and resorts in the world. The Oberoi Group is led by Vikram Oberoi and focuses on providing exceptional service and luxury accommodations inspired by local culture at each location.

Putting together a presentation on social media can be frustrating because a) you never know how sophisticated the audience already is and b) there are already millions of decks on social media making it hard to create something original. That is why I decided to collect and put together an extensive deck by tapping into a lot of existing presentations. This presentation was the guideline for a basic client workshop including a lot of discussions and working sessions. The client specific parts are not included but I think it still serves as a good structure.
