The song has already gone viral on social media platforms, helping the brand connect with a younger, tech-savvy audience.

Founder and CEO Abhijeet Anand explained the thinking behind the app launch, saying, "Our app launch needed to mirror abCoffee's core: excitement, flavor, and community. This new platform empowers our customers with convenience and choice, while the rap track delivers our message in a language that resonates with modern coffee aficionados."

The app is designed to streamline the coffee-buying experience, allowing users to order their daily brew with just three taps. It also offers a range of customization options and exclusive deals, making it easier for customers to get their perfect cup of coffee quickly and affordably.

abCoffee’s success is built on its commitment to quality. The company sources 100% specialty coffee beans from some of India’s top coffee plantations, ensuring that each cup is brewed to perfection. This dedication has earned them high praise from customers, with a 61% loyalty rate and the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in India’s coffee category.

Transforming Hospitality: The Impact of Sustainability on Hotel Operations

Transforming Hospitality: The Impact of Sustainability on Hotel Operations

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on September 12, 2025

Picture a busy day in your hotel. Guests are checking in, the front desk is juggling calls, invoices are stacking up, menus need updating, and someone just asked about your eco-friendly practices. Teams are working hard, yet the pressure never seems to ease. As hoteliers, we know this scene well  and we also know it’s not just about keeping things running, but about creating a future where our operations are smarter, greener, and more guest-focused.

Challenges on the Path to Sustainability

Sustainability is no longer a choice; it’s a mandate, and the time has come. Guests expect it, regulators demand it, and costs make it unavoidable. Running paper-heavy processes, relying on outdated servers, or handling manual stock tracking is more than inconvenient, it holds back growth, impacts profitability, and puts your brand at odds with today’s expectations.

How Technology Supports Sustainability

This is where technology steps in, not as a replacement for hospitality, but as an enabler of it. Cloud-based platforms can eliminate the clutter of paper with digital check-ins and e-receipts, reduce waste with smarter inventory systems, and allow managers to monitor performance in real time, even when away from the property. For staff, this means less firefighting and more time to work together, creating an inclusive culture where every department is connected and updated instantly. For leadership, it means running operations that are leaner, faster, and aligned with the values guests expect from modern hospitality.

But let’s be clear: the goal is not technology for technology’s sake. The goal is to elevate guest experience, ensure seamless operations, and maximize revenue. Whether it’s a boutique hotel making its mark, an aspiring hotel group looking to expand, or a well-established chain managing multiple properties, the right digital foundation can be the difference between keeping up and leading the way.

This is where InnKey comes in. More than just a “cloud PMS,” InnKey unifies hotel operations on a single, enterprise-grade platform,  reservations, F&B, finance, procurement, and guest engagement, all connected and accessible anywhere. It’s proven at scale with leading hotel chains, yet agile enough for independent properties. Built with a mobile-first approach, InnKey empowers teams to work on tablets and smartphones, freeing hotels from printers, static terminals, and even the traditional front desk. Imagine a hotel where guests glide through check-in without queues, where no phones ring, yet every department stays informed in real time, and where operations feel invisible, but flawless.

And here is what sets InnKey apart: while many solutions promise the cloud, InnKey delivers security, scalability, and clarity. With the highest standards of data protection, open APIs for seamless integrations, and robust architecture, it gives hoteliers the confidence that their business is not just digitized, but future proofed. The hospitality industry doesn’t need to digitize the past. It needs to reinvent the future. The urgency is real, the opportunity is here, and the path is clear. It’s time to rethink hospitality and create sustainable hotels that truly last.

Ready to take the first step? Schedule a conversation with an InnKey expert today  and let’s design the roadmap to make your hotel sustainable, mobile-first, and guest-ready for tomorrow. The future isn’t waiting, and neither should you.
