How technology seamlessly upgrades hotel and restaurant businesses

MANILA, Philippines — Exploring destinations around the country, trying out new food concepts, attending international musical productions, and even following the latest in tech and fashion — Filipinos have indeed become empowered in their life goals.

For hotel and restaurant businesses, this means the need to provide Filipinos with better, if not best, services and offerings. And in this digital age, it’s not just about the Michelin or hotel star ratings anymore.
