Artigo publicado primeiro no site: R7.com The Transition to Digital is More Important Than Ever - Hotel Business | Hotel Business By Gabriel Weisz Of the many lessons we’ve learned since the onset of the pandemic—the role of technology in providing a safer and better customer experience is perhaps most front and center. Consumers are still feeling uneasy about leaving their homes and traveling, but contactless technology can play a pivotal role in shifting those perceptions. Especially as the potential for a ‘second wave’ remains possible, the hospitality industry must prepare for what could be the new normal in the foreseeable future. In fact, McKinsey research suggests that recovery for the hotel industry to pre-COVID-19 levels could take until 2023, or later. If this proves true, waiting for the storm to pass simply is not an option for the industry to survive. Over the course of this year, hotel operators have been forced to adapt to an uncertain reality, almost overnight, and have faced significant struggles while providing safe, reliable service to their guests. As everyone hunkered down at home, the days of buzzing lobbies and no vacancies were suddenly a distant memory. At the height of lockdown, some wondered if the hotel experience as we know it would ever be the same again. Six months later, we are starting to see some signs of relief. But what is most apparent is that we are witnessing an evolution in customer service—guests want an easy, seamless and quality experience, which hospitality operators can still provide, and then some. Businesses have had a chance to regroup and modify their offerings, with consumers responding in kind, seeking out comforting experiences that tap into pampering indulgence or solutions that simply make life easier. In a recent McKinsey Consumer Leisure Travel Survey, when asked what it would take to get them to travel again, most U.S. leisure travelers wanted additional health and safety measures, including intense room cleaning, rapid COVID-19 tests at check-in for guests, and contactless check-in and check-out processes. For hotel guests, safety understandably matters most, and it turns out many consumers are even willing to pay more for it. Doubling down on digital now, will not only address safety concerns in the immediate term, but will also enable some hotel operators to leverage existing assets in new and exciting ways. Many hotels have implemented QR code technology in the past—be it for marketing offers, or simply to offer guests an opportunity to view a menu—but they have never fully realized the technology’s potential. In a COVID-19 environment, QR code technology is finally finding its calling, and by linking with POS systems, hotel operators are not only able to showcase the restaurant menu, but also enable customers to order and leave valuable feedback, all without having to interact or touch another device or person. Innovations like these will be a game changer for hotel operators everywhere. They lend enough flexibility to encourage universal adoption, generating more revenue opportunities for business owners without sacrificing health or hygiene protocols. In fact, hotel operators that embrace contactless technologies while expanding their services and seeking new ways to deliver a ‘human-centered’ experience, are projected to reap the rewards in future. When our customers are happy, we’re happy. It’s as simple as that. Rather than remain hung up on how things used to be, it’s time to look ahead to the future. Making a digital game plan now can enable the industry to turn lemons into lemonade—making it far more resilient and perhaps opening up new opportunities that never would have been discovered when things were ‘business as usual.’ Gabriel Weisz is founder and CEO of Kontactless.

Texto fonte original: hotelbusiness.com PHP development: some consider it a popular language with a promising future, others an outdated technology thatâs not worth the time to learn. But what do the numbers say, especially when you take a look at PHP developer salary? While there are certainly many newer, flashier, and more exciting languages out there, PHP remains a reliable staple of backend web development and a skill many employers are still searching for. Interested in becoming a PHP developer yourself? Weâve covered the average web developerâs salary already, now letâs dive into PHP and see how its income compares. Quick note: Weâre rounding numbers here, so make sure to check the original sources for more exact values. Is PHP Developer a Good Job?So youâre considering becoming a PHP developer. But is that really the job for you? Besides the issue of salary, is it a good career thatâs worth pursuing? There are a few things to keep in mind about PHP. Like any other programming language, it has its positives and negatives. If this is a career youâre set on, youâll find that there are plenty of reasons to try it. First: PHP is a very easy language to learn. Other programming languages can be confusing before you get used to them, using obscure naming conventions or high-level coding standards that are difficult to memorize. But PHP is clear, readable, and easy to understand. If you have any programming background or even a vague understanding of how web development works, you can get a general idea of what a PHP string is doing just by looking at it. Itâs one of the best languages to start with. This simplicity does mean more competition, though. So starting out, you may have a lower salary. But highly proficient PHP developers are sought after, so if you can master it, you have the potential to earn lots of money. That popularity means there are plenty of career opportunities out there. Another good reason to learn PHP: it pairs great with other skills and languages. You could learn HTML/CSS and JavaScript to be a full stack developer or get into database management with SQL. C/C++ programs can also interact with PHP. And with Unlike newer languages, PHP isnât a gamble. Itâs tried and tested, with major projects like WordPress keeping it relevant even in 2020. Your job isnât going anywhere any time soon, and thatâs why so many developers continue to work with it. What Does a PHP Developer Do?As a PHP developer, what will your general daily tasks be? For that, weâll need to answer what PHP is and how you can use it. PHP is a general-purpose scripting language. What this means is that it executes scripts in real-time (unlike âcompiled programming languagesâ which run all at once at launch), and can be used to create any kind of application â though itâs far more often used for web development. Itâs also a server-side language, which means its code is executed on your server rather than in the visitorsâ browsers, unlike a client-side language such as JavaScript or CSS. This makes it more secure and suitable for tasks like sending data to your server that canât be easily manipulated. Thatâs generally what PHP is used for: dynamic tasks that require changing files on your web server or in the database. While JavaScript and other client-side languages can dynamically affect how your website looks and acts without bogging down your server with requests, PHP works in the background to execute key tasks. As a PHP developer, youâll be tasked with the backend development of websites, laying the groundwork for web-based applications and behind-the-scenes jobs. You may make secure forms and other user input areas, work alongside the frontend developers, and hook databases to your PHP apps. And of course, youâll need to come up with inventive ways to solve problems and implement the features your clients want using PHP. After the initial setup period, youâll need to continue doing maintenance. That means fixing incompatibilities when they arise, updating your code when new versions of PHP release, and maintaining databases and forms. What Do You Need to Be a PHP Developer?Entering any development field requires a similar set of skills, though backend development and PHP do come with their own unique requirements. First up: Education. These days, employers for technical jobs care more about experience than a degree, especially for junior positions and with easy-to-learn languages like PHP. Freelancing, internships, and entry-level jobs could be a very good way to build yourself up and get the experience necessary to land a good job. Being a good developer does require a range of core skills, however:
Additionally, knowing how to work with databases is practically a must. And even if youâre not a full stack developer, you should understand the basics of HTML/JavaScript and how they interact with PHP so you can identify compatibility errors.
