Hotels & lodging

Guests judge the WiFi first and the coffee second.

A hotel is several buildings' worth of technology wearing one uniform: a network guests review you on, public spaces that need to sound and look considered, function rooms that have to earn their booking, and back-of-house systems nobody sees until they fail.

What usually brings someone to us.

Guests complain about the WiFi even though we upgraded the internet.
Bandwidth and wireless are different purchases. A bigger circuit does nothing for a device that cannot hold a good connection where the guest is standing. Access point placement, density, channel planning and roaming behaviour are what a guest experiences as WiFi.
Music in the lobby is either intrusive at the desk or inaudible by the window.
One zone doing the work of several. Public spaces get split into zones sized to the room, with the speaker layout designed for the ceiling height it is going into rather than spaced evenly and hoped for.
We lose function bookings because the meeting room can't do what a corporate client expects.
Function rooms are competing with offices, so they need what offices have: a room system, ceiling microphones laid out for the table, a guest device path, and a join that works in the first two minutes. It is usually the difference between a room that books and one that gets used for storage.
Different contractors did the cameras, the doors, the network and the AV.
Which is why they do not talk to each other and each one blames the others. Scoping them together is the whole argument of this company — the seams between systems are where the failures live.
Work cannot disturb guests.
Then it is phased, floor by floor or wing by wing, with noisy work scheduled and the property occupied throughout. That belongs in the proposal, not discovered in week two.

Hotels are the clearest case for one contractor across the whole stack. The guest experience is made of four or five systems at once, and every one of the seams between them is somewhere a guest can notice.
