Canary Technologies, the #1-rated Guest Experience Platform, today announced that it has been selected by IHG Hotels & Resorts as an approved vendor to provide its Digital Tipping solution. This collaboration is a major milestone to improve employee recognition and enhance the guest experience at IHG hotels worldwide.

IHG Hotels & Resorts is a global leader in the hospitality industry, with 19 brands, more than 6,000 hotels and nearly 1 million rooms owned and operated globally.

Rated the #1 Digital Tipping solution of 2024 by hoteliers in HotelTechReport, Canary Technologies is revolutionizing the way hotel employees are tipped and recognized in an increasingly cashless society. By empowering guests to conveniently tip their hotel staff, Canary boosts employee retention, staff compensation and guest service, without impacting the bottom line.

"Hotel staff members are the backbone of the hospitality industry and guests want to tip staff for great service," said Dhiraj “DJ” Singh, VP of Sales at Canary. "With the declining use of cash worldwide, staff tips have taken a hit over the years. We are thrilled to help IHG hoteliers boost guest satisfaction and reward hard-working team members."

IHG Hotels & Resorts is looking forward to introducing Canary's innovative Digital Tipping solution to its hotels. With the addition of Canary, hoteliers have the option to utilize Digital Tipping to elevate the guest experience and enhance employee recognition.
