STR Global Unlocked with Simon Lehmann · 039: Hospitality Isn’t Ready for the Future Guest | Jamie Lane · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

So why don't you just walk us through those scenarios from your viewpoint?

So where you put your money, Jamie?

Yeah, I think I would put the money on the same number and the same color as you do.

Um, I see that already happening without a doubt, right?

And and this efficiency gain is is just incredible, and especially with the consult with the companies that were consulting in the PMC space right now to see how that shifts.

And we said, you know, the human capital is now shifting towards what's driving more value, which is owner relations and and growing supply.

And things like that.

And that doesn't mean that that people are being lost.

And yesterday we recorded our AI panel with conduits, uh Bestie AI, host buddy, and guestway.

And I had four CTOs on a panel.

You can imagine it was a struggle for me to manage.

Um, you know, and and and talking about that and talking about the efficiency gains and everything else, and and even

Like I can quote uh Anthony from Guestway, he said, look, up to 200 units, you still need to s you need to still need the same um um FTE count to run that, but there's a shift in efficiency and ultimately you can shift your uh human capital towards where it creates more value and and in our industry it's obviously it's obvious where that is, it's in the guest experience.

and and it's in the g in it's in the owner relation.

So um what our industry is concerned, I'm definitely with you.

Uh this industry will this this change with AI will help us uh uh gain efficiencies and and add potentially more human capital to the business than it was before uh while we're doing that.

And maybe the long tail looks a little bit different.

But uh that's needs to be seen.

So I I I definitely uh

uh agree with you.
