We’re thrilled to have our Co-Founder & President, Jennifer Collins, at The Hospitality Show in San Antonio, Texas! Jen will be speaking on #ResponsibleSourcing tomorrow, and we hope to see you there. 🌱 Yesterday, Jen had the pleasure of hearing José Andrés’ (José Andrés Group) inspiring interview, where he shared that “most big problems have simple solutions” and called for adaptability and flexibility across the industry. His insights resonate deeply as we work toward simplifying responsible sourcing for the hospitality sector. We are just as excited to see that The AHLA Foundation’s table features products off of Procure Impact, from vendors like Musee, Bright Endeavors, Greyston Bakery, The Lancaster Stroopie Co., Beautiful Day, and Women's Bean Project. Jen also had the pleasure of connecting with esteemed leaders in the field, including our Advisory Board member Donte P. Johnson, Pyramid Global Hospitality’s Executive Chairman Alex Cabañas, and Staypineapple’s Chief Growth Officer Michael Hirschler.

Big thanks to the Staypineapple team 🍍 here at The Hospitality Show in San Antonio for the warm hospitality and reminder to stay hydrated—they even gifted me a bottle of their beautifully branded water, which is as refreshing as it is delicious! 🍍💧 Fun fact: Pineapples 🍍 have long been a symbol of hospitality, dating back to the colonial era, when they were a sign of warmth and welcome. Today, it feels fitting to be partnering with a brand that embraces this symbol and extends it in every interaction. The partnership with Stay Pineapple 🍍 and Mews truly is as sweet as it sounds, working together to create seamless, guest-centered experiences powered by innovative technology. Here’s to the perfect blend of hospitality and tech! 🍍✨ #Hospitality #HotelTech #Mews #StayPineapple 🍍 #CustomerExperience #Travel #PineapplePower 🍍

Don't be afraid to be edgy and get some attention. But after you attract those guest, deliver service that provides a sense or belonging and creates memories. In other words...Put the hospitality back in hospitality. Thanks Glenn Haussman it was great to see you at The Lodging Conference. Staypineapple
