Cybersecurity is another pressing topic that Phil addresses. With the rise of digital payments comes the need for robust security measures. He highlights the importance of being proactive in addressing potential threats and ensuring that businesses are equipped to handle any challenges that may arise.
As we look to the future, Phil predicts a continued shift towards hyper-personalization and the integration of AI in payment systems. The ability to leverage data to understand customer preferences and enhance the overall experience will be a game changer for businesses in the hospitality sector.
