In this episode of Say86: Elevating Hospitality, we explore the vital role that suppliers and support services play in the hospitality industry and how Say86 is transforming the way they connect with operators.

We highlight how traditional supplier relationships often rely on word of mouth, cold calls, and slow sales cycles, making it difficult for suppliers to reach the right customers. Meanwhile, hospitality operators struggle to find reliable, high-quality suppliers without spending hours researching and negotiating.
