SAN MATEO, CA, November 2022: WNW Hospitality Management, a premier hotel management company, has selected Aavgo to implement its Aavgo360 Platform and Virtual Front Desk that ensures a superior digital experience for all hotel guests. Aavgo’s 360 Platform and Virtual Front Desk provide hotels with an end-to-end 360° platform that streamlines operational efficiency and enhances the guest experience.

Aavgo’s platform provides WNW Hospitality with a contactless check-in and check-out process, a virtual agent that can check-in guests via a front desk kiosk, answer calls and inform guests about on-site amenities and relevant information. Communicate with guests to better understand their individual needs, take reservations over the phone, and run night-audit. Also included is a hotel guests app, hotel staff app, and operations optimization software. The platform gives hotel guests access to the hotel’s digital guest directory, including mobile check-in, mobile key, automated email & text message, and a whole lot more.

WNW Hospitality Management has selected Aavgo’s Virtual Front Desk solution. WNW Hospitality has a portfolio of 20+ properties, including IHG, Hilton, and Choice branded hotels. The first phase of implementation includes:

  • Best Western Plus Austin Central in Austin, Texas.
  • Best Western Plus Fort Wayne Inn & Suites North in Fort Wayne Indiana.
  • Best Western St. Louis Airport North Hotel & Suites in Hazelwood, Missouri.

WNW Hospitality Management is a premier hotel management company with a strong portfolio of managed properties providing services for hotel owners and developers. The caliber of hotel properties has been recognized both for architectural excellence and by the hospitality industry for the accommodations and service provided. WNW Hospitality has been awarded the MK Guertin Award, Best of the Best Award, Best Western Chairman’s Award, Best Western Green Award, Public Relations Award, Design of Excellence, and Directors Award.

“I was very skeptical at first and made the trip unannounced to a hotel in North Carolina that was already using the Kiosk. I was extremely impressed, and after my personal experience, I started the process of implementing the Aavgo Kiosk at all our hotels. We are in the hospitality business, and even though this is outside the box, we do not lose the hospitality aspect at all.

We benefit from well-trained staff and no less than 30% savings on payroll,” said Jonathan Reiss, CEO at WNW Hospitality.

If a competitor's move triggers your rate change, that is market-based pricing, not dynamic

If a competitor's move triggers your rate change, that is market-based pricing, not dynamic

Lighthouse writer Joe Hanly published a ten-strategy hotel revenue management guide on Hotel News Resource on September 8, ranking real-time dynamic pricing first. Its most useful content is a test: a hotel whose rate changes mostly follow a competitor's move is running market-based pricing, whatever it is called internally. A companion explainer says audit the compset and rate plans first.

  • 01Market-based and dynamic pricing both watch competitors; the line Lighthouse draws is whether a competitor's rate is the trigger or one input alongside local events, booking pace and market trends.
  • 02Properties that have gone years without a structured rate-plan review often carry more active plans than anyone tracks, and those legacy floor rates and stay restrictions sit under any pricing engine layered on top.

STR: Summer 2025 was the weakest in four years

STR: Summer 2025 was the weakest in four years

STR said summer 2025 was the weakest U.S. hotel summer in four years: as of an Aug. 22 weekly report (with two weeks left), hotels had sold 1.4 million fewer room nights than summer 2024 and top 25 market weekday RevPAR was down 2.3% in mid-August. STR said business travel plateaued while leisure held up weekends. Hotel Dive reported widespread U.S. RevPAR growth in Q1 2026, making 2025 the comparison base.

  • 01Weekday performance is a key read on business travel: in the week ending Aug. 16, 2025, top 25 market weekday RevPAR fell 2.3%, per STR; in that same update, non-metro and rural areas posted a 0.7% full-week RevPAR gain.
  • 02The 2025 demand loss was concentrated, not spread evenly: STR traced 45% of the economy-class decline to 10 markets, with Houston and Las Vegas alone near a quarter of it, so a national average can hide a very different local picture.
  • 03The gap between occupancy on the books and occupancy actually realized, flagged by CoStar in Las Vegas, Houston, Philadelphia and Orlando in June 2025, is a sharper thing for a revenue manager to track than headline RevPAR.

Aimbridge's LIFT tool flags hotel staffing gaps before the financials do

Aimbridge's LIFT tool flags hotel staffing gaps before the financials do

Aimbridge Hospitality has rolled out LIFT, an in-house labor tool, portfolio-wide. It puts forecasting, scheduling and on-floor actuals into one view, and pilot hotels saw the largest productivity gains in housekeeping and laundry. For owners, Aimbridge positions it as a way to spot staffing variance sooner than waiting for month-end financials.

  • 01Hotel Business describes LIFT as a proprietary tool that Aimbridge has launched across its own portfolio, which turns labor analytics into a point of comparison between third-party operators.
  • 02Housekeeping and laundry were where pilot hotels saw the biggest productivity gains, which suggests demand-driven scheduling tools have the most room to act in departments where daily workload swings with occupancy.
  • 03Aimbridge has not published numeric pilot results; the signal to watch is whether it releases labor-cost or GOP flow-through figures from the full rollout, which would give owners a real benchmark.
