In this episode, Steve and David sit down with Andrew Rubinacci, Chief Advisory Officer at FLYR, to unpack how AI and next-gen data systems are reshaping the hospitality industry. With a background spanning 35 years in commercial strategy, Andrew brings deep insight into why pulling reports for five hours a day is a thing of the past—and how hotels can now optimize rates, personalize experiences, and drive revenue in real time.

We dive into:

• Why legacy systems hold hospitality back
• How FLYR uses AI to optimize room pricing 24x a day
• The shift from tactical roles to strategic leadership in revenue management
• What makes BITAC unique for real business-building conversations
• The future of AI-powered guest experiences and seamless upselling

If you're in hospitality, tech, or just want to hear from someone who’s shaking up a traditional industry with bold ideas, this one’s for you.
