Hospitality Net - The Future of F&B: Using Superhuman Artificial Intelligence To Improve F&B Accuracy & Reduce Costs

On October 4th, 2006, Carnus Systems was invited to speak at an HFTP Educational Session about new artificial intelligence (AI) forecasting technologies for the hospitality sector, and how these technologies can be used to improve service quality and reduce labor costs. The benefits of artificial intelligence within hospitality are particularly evident in F&B departments, environments that are notoriously challenging to staff due to radical daily fluctuations in demand. AI has many current applications. New elevator systems in high-rise buildings, including the one at the New York Times headquarters in New York City, implement artificial intelligence technologies to make passenger transportation more efficient. During peak times, the elevator systems "learn" where to park elevator cars, how to group passengers together, and which floors to stop on to minimize transportation time.
