Christmas, well-known as the busiest time of year for the hospitality sector. In fact, this year is set to be busier than the last, with Britons due to spend £12.3bn at hospitality venues over the festive period. That's an increase of 2.3% from 2023.

So with everyone rushed off their festive feet, it's the perfect time to put your hospitality tech through its paces to ease some of the burden.
