People vs Tech: What guests want in 2023

Exclusive research into hospitality consumer attitudes towards technology as part of the overall guest experience

The role of technology in hospitality is evolving – not only are guests used to seeing technology in-venue, they now expect it to be present. But the importance of human connection for which the hospitality industry is known and loved so well, is not to be underestimated.

Produced in partnership with CGA by NielsenIQ, we asked 5,000 UK hospitality consumers to find out their views on technology in hospitality.

With 55% of those surveyed believing that a balance between technology and a human touch delivers the best hospitality experiences, ensuring you’re meeting the expectations of ever-increasingly digitally-savvy guests, will be key for success now, and in the future.

What's in the report?

  • When guests prefer to use technology versus interacting with staff
  • How guest preferences change at different stages of the customer journey
  • Average spend by tech natives versus those who prefer a human touch
  • How attitudes to tech may develop over time

Webinar | Embracing the future of hospitality tech

Throughout 2022, we published four unique pieces of topical research exploring some of the key consumer trends hospitality operators need to be aware of to meet the demands of the modern, digital-savvy consumer.

From how the next generation of hospitality guests view the industry and the demand for personalisation, to how consumers are using social media and search engines to engage with hospitality venues and how they prefer to pay when they do visit pubs, bars and restaurants, the research is packed full of actionable insights you can use to improve your guest experience and boost revenue.

To help you navigate all this great research, Zonal’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Olivia FitzGerald explored some of the key findings from across our research this year in this brief 16 minute webinar!

Watch the webinar to discover insights from 5,000 representative consumers, including:

  • How consumers are using social media to engage with hospitality venues
  • Appetite towards sharing the data required for personalisation
  • Top ways customers like to pay
  • What the future of hospitality technology might look like
