Maestro Touch: Transforming the Hospitality Industry with Innovative Technology
The hospitality sector is entering a new era of operational efficiency and guest satisfaction, driven by cutting-edge technology. At the upcoming HITEC 2024 conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, from June 24-27, Maestro PMS will be showcasing its latest property management system (PMS) designed to meet the evolving needs of independent hoteliers. Visitors can find Maestro at booth 1844 at the Charlotte Convention Center, where they can explore groundbreaking advancements designed to streamline hotel operations.
“Maestro never stops evolving, and with 45 years of experience in hospitality innovation behind us, we remain dedicated to finding new ways to innovate and improve operations for independent hoteliers everywhere,” said Warren Dehan, president of Maestro. “Independent hoteliers seek greater control over operations, including improved visual aids and more intentional design. We are taking these needs to heart and improving the capabilities Maestro offers independent operators, as well as the training and support they need to remain competitive and successful. HITEC attendees will have hands-on experience with our newest innovations, and we are excited to showcase them at Booth 1844.”
A New Level of Usability: Maestro Touch
One of the most exciting features to be unveiled is the Maestro Touch interface, developed specifically for touch-screen devices. At a time when flexibility is paramount, this new interface allows hotel operators to manage their entire property from mobile devices, tablets, and laptops. It’s not just about making things easier for tech-savvy staff; this solution benefits everyone—from front desk personnel to seasonal hires—providing them with a streamlined, user-friendly system that enhances operational efficiency.
The future of hotel management is touch-enabled.
Maestro Touch encompasses an extensive suite of functionalities that empower hotel staff. Features like check-in and check-out capabilities, mobile signature capture, real-time room availability, and seamless data synchronization showcase the system’s design ethos prioritizing user experience and operational fluidity. For anyone who has worked in hospitality, the importance of a cohesive system can’t be overstated. Having a reliable and streamlined interface not only makes daily tasks easier but also enhances guest satisfaction, which is paramount in the hospitality industry.
Enhanced Payment Processing with MezzoPay
In an ever-evolving digital landscape, Maestro is stepping up its game with the integration of MezzoPay, revolutionizing how transactions are processed within hotels. The integration allows for seamless payment processing directly through the PMS, thus reducing complications associated with third-party payment systems.
Now, guests can link all their purchases directly to their room accounts, which not only simplifies the payment process but also ensures more accurate accounting for hoteliers. This can make a world of difference for independent operators who strive to compete with larger brands. As the hospitality industry navigates the pressures of rising operational costs, having an efficient system that also improves the customer experience is invaluable.

Empowering Community Engagement: Client Reference Incentive Program
In a world where user experiences often dictate brand loyalty, Maestro acknowledges the value of community. The recently launched Client Reference Incentive Program encourages existing users to share their positive experiences with other hoteliers. Participants can gain a variety of rewards, from additional training opportunities to exclusive discounts and even invitations to special events. This kind of grassroots engagement not only fosters loyalty among existing customers but creates a vibrant community rooted in shared knowledge and resources.
Addressing Workforce Challenges: Innovative Learning Solutions
A report from the 2024 Lodging Technology Study conducted by Hospitality Technology indicates that 54% of hoteliers are grappling with a significant challenge: the lack of tech-savvy staff. Maestro is well aware of this issue and is taking proactive steps to tackle it. By providing comprehensive support not just to new hires but also seasoned professionals, Maestro is investing in the future of hospitality.
Their extensive training options include personalized learning paths, progressive educational modules, and gamified learning tools that incorporate elements like points and progress tracking. Thus, the learning experience is transformed into an engaging game-like scenario. As someone who has watched the industry evolve, I believe that technology isn’t just an added layer; it’s a crucial part of how we train and equip our teams for success.
