With the amazing growth in travel, Chris Maughan the CEO of I-PRAC, had experienced a heartbreaking experience with some travelers that were scammed out of thousands of dollars while going on a family vacation and when he saw this, Chris knew he had to do something. As an expert in the short term rental industry and being the hospitality provider  that he is, he knew it wouldn't get better by just talking about it. It would only get better by taking action.  Chris and I dive into a passionate conversation about fraud protection and verification. This is a topic that is discussed in the industry but not to the level that it should be. I-PRAC and myself want to open that conversation to all who care about the industry and our guests.

Bringing modern room service convenience to your guests is a snap with TrayAway. Once a guest has completed their meal, they simply click a TrayAway device to notify hotel staff their tray is ready for retrieval. Delivery, meal completion, and do not disturb times are recorded, providing hotel staff all tray locations and activity times for stress free management. Dirty trays and trolleys cluttering the hallways are now a thing of the past with TrayAway. Hear Josh Johnston, President and Co-Founder of TrayAway, discuss the unique entrepreneur experience in the hospitality space and his innovative way on solving the problem of dirty room service trays laying in the halls with no proper way to track and retrieve them to improve survey scores and of course my favorite subject, the guest experience!

More than 1 million vacant positions (and still growing faster than any other industry) hospitality is one of many industries that are struggling with a worker shortage. A new job is added every 2.5 seconds and employers are looking for candidates with very specific skills to fill positions who will thrive in a demanding, fast-paced environment. Although it might seem like there aren't enough quality workers to fill every position, employers in the industry still have reason for hope as they look to build out their workforce. At least, that’s the belief of Ron Mitchell, CEO of Virgil, which owns Hcareers - a redesigned hospitality job platform. Listen to this episode of Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast to see what Hcareers is all about and how you or an employer can really use this re-launched tool to your advantage!
