Digital Dining and Guest Experience Transformation
Authors: Bill Caswell, Industry Thought Leader – Travel, Hospitality & Entertainment
The client is an industry-leading theme park and entertainment company managing multiple dining and activity venues. They serve tens of thousands of guests daily. With growing demand, they needed a smarter and faster reservation system to enhance guest experiences. The client also needed the system to help them streamline operations across their busy portfolio.
Overview
The client faced mounting pressure to modernize its dining and activity reservation platform. The existing system struggled with rising booking demand, operational inefficiencies, and slow incident response. To stay competitive and deliver a premium guest experience, the company partnered with Myridius to rebuild its reservation system with AI-powered capabilities, real-time monitoring, and scalable architecture.
The Challenge: Modernizing the Reservation Platform for Scale and Demand
The hospitality client’s dining and activity reservation platform was unable to keep pace with rising guest expectations and growing demand.
Several pain points had become major obstacles to efficiency and customer satisfaction:
- Poor user experience: Both guests and employees struggled with an unintuitive interface. Guests faced friction while browsing and booking, while staff wasted time navigating clunky workflows. The result was slower reservations, booking errors, and overall dissatisfaction at both ends.
- Scalability issues: The system frequently hit performance bottlenecks during peak demand, such as weekends and holiday seasons. As reservation volumes spiked, processing slowed down, leaving customers frustrated and the business unable to capitalize fully on its demand potential.
- Reactive incident management: System issues were often discovered only after they had already affected guests. This reactive approach led to longer downtimes, more guest complaints, and a tarnished perception of reliability.
- Ineffective alerts: Fragmented and delayed alerting mechanisms meant critical problems slipped through the cracks. Instead of preventing outages, alerts often came after guests had already experienced booking failures or delays.
- Lack of centralized logging: Engineers had no unified source of truth for diagnosing issues. Logs were scattered across systems, which made root cause analysis slow and inefficient. This prolonged resolution times, wasted engineering resources, and increased operational costs.
Problem to Blueprint: How We Analyzed, Ideated, and Designed the Solution
When we first stepped in, we conducted a deep analysis of the reservation platform’s performance, user flows, and incident history.
It helped us understand that the existing system had poor usability, limited scalability, and slow incident response. And these issues held the business back from delivering a premium guest experience.
We brought together cross-functional teams to brainstorm solutions, looking at everything from smarter yield management to AI-powered monitoring.
We wanted to focus on three key aspects to ensure exceptional user and operational experience:
- Reduce friction for guests
- Help the staff get timely insights
- Ensure scalability without disrupting service
As we worked on the issues, our team decided upon the blueprint of the project delivery:
- Modernize the system architecture.
- Create centralized logging capability.
- Automate alerts for real-time insights.
- Introduce predictive anomaly detection.
Each of the recommendations was guided by a common goal of improving the user experience and operational efficiency at scale.
The Solution: How We Addressed the Issues
Myridius redesigned the reservation ecosystem with a guest-first approach. This helped us take smart architectural decisions that improved the platform's performance.
Our solution for the client's challenge was to develop a modern smart platform with the following features:
Yield Management Capabilities
We implemented modern business rules to balance guest experience with profitability. This allows the system to optimize table availability and adjust bookings automatically. It also helped maximize capacity without overwhelming staff or reducing service quality.
Real-time Monitoring with Splunk
We enabled live dashboards to track booking volumes, platform performance, and guest activity. This gave teams instant visibility into operations to predict potential risks and avoid them.
AI-Powered Anomaly Detection
We introduced machine learning models to flag unusual booking patterns or performance slowdowns. This enabled the team to address issues before they could disrupt the guest journey.
Automated Alerts and Incident Response
We integrated Splunk with AWS CloudWatch for instant alerts and triggered workflows. Engineers could address potential outages proactively, often resolving them before guests ever noticed.
Centralized Log Management
We consolidated all logs into a single repository, creating a ‘single source of truth.’ This reduced troubleshooting and saved the team's time. It also helped teams diagnose and fix issues with greater speed and accuracy.
Results: Measurable Business Impact
Within months of implementation, the client achieved measurable impact across revenue, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
