The future of scalable hospitality operations was front and center at the MCA Insight Hostech conference, where Openr hosted a dynamic discussion on unified data orchestration. We were thrilled to share our growth story—from a simple idea two years ago to nearly 2,000 venues live today, pushing over 7 million data points in real-time with guaranteed 100% accuracy.

The panel, featuring Stonegate Group CIO Guy Tambling and Coco di Mama’s Sara McKennedy (Azzurri Group), provided powerful real-world validation. Sara discussed how Openr is unlocking innovation and crucial data consistency across the multi-brand Azzurri estate. Guy then detailed Stonegate’s dramatic shift from relying on manual processes and annual changes to achieving unprecedented pricing agility. This transformation saw Stonegate increase price changes from 3-4 per year to 37 per year, resulting in increased revenue.

Commenting on the necessity of this foundational shift, Tambling stated: “The ability to move pricing and product changes at speed is no longer a luxury; it’s essential for profitability. Openr gives us that central control and agility we needed to beat the market.” The success across both enterprise groups proves that mastering data fragmentation is the only path to scalable growth.
