Hospitality Next: Philip Hallam - Connecting the Hospitality Experience

In this episode of Hospitality Next, Sal sits down with Philip Hallam, Group Head of Technology at Ralph Trustees, for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a modern hospitality technology ecosystem. From navigating an increasingly crowded tech landscape to integration, data, AI, and the realities of digital transformation, Philip shares an operator's perspective on where technology is genuinely creating value and where the industry still has work to do. They explore how hospitality leaders can make smarter technology decisions, why connectivity and simplicity matter more than adding another system to the stack, and how innovation can empower teams without losing sight of the guest experience. It's a practical look at the future of hospitality technology from someone responsible for making it work in the real world.
