Operational intelligence for hospitality

Nothing missed. Nothing forgotten.

86 Labs pulls your systems, your guest requests and your conversations into one place. Your team spends the day with guests instead of chasing what slipped through.

Built by hoteliers, for hoteliers

Your hotel does not lack data. It lacks understanding.

A guest mentions an anniversary to the concierge. The restaurant never hears about it. A maintenance issue surfaces at midnight and waits on a handwritten note until the morning briefing, if it survives that long. A debriefing takes more than thirty minutes because someone has to rebuild it from five systems that have never spoken to each other.

You are not losing to another piece of software. You are losing to WhatsApp groups, Post-its, and a briefing PDF someone assembled by hand during night shift.

73%
Guests expect the hotel to use what they already told it.

73 percent of travelers prefer hotels that personalize their stay using data the guest already gave them. Only 30 percent feel hotels actually deliver it. That 43-point gap is not a mystery. It is a preference that never made it from the concierge to the restaurant.

100%
Every international hotel welcomes guests whose language its own team does not speak.

That is not an edge case. It is every single week, and no amount of staffing solves it on its own.

Less firefighting. More hospitality.

86 Labs sits on top of the systems you already run, and gives your team back the hours they spend hunting for information. Three modules. That is the whole platform.

Shadow
Every language. Every call. Nothing missed.

Shadow listens to every guest conversation, phone calls, WhatsApp, texts, in any language, and turns what is said into a task for the right department instantly, whether a human took the call or Shadow's own AI voice did.

Active mode — a multilingual AI voice agent answers calls around the clock, logs the request, and creates the task on the spot. No guest waits on hold because of a language barrier.

Shadow mode — listens silently in the background of a human-staffed call and generates the task automatically. Nothing said gets lost because someone forgot to write it down.

Screen-pop — an incoming call is matched to the guest's profile before your team even picks up. They know who is calling, and why it matters, before they say hello.

A stay, with 86 Labs running underneath

One guest. One night. Six moments she never sees.

16:40
Check-in
Guest Intelligence

Isabelle checks in alone, in town for a work meeting. Nobody at the front desk asks about her anniversary, because nobody needs to: last time she stayed, she mentioned to a server, over dinner, that this was the date she and her husband got married.

17:05
Room assignment
Guest Intelligence

She is upgraded to a better room to celebrate that special date.

21:15
Turndown
Guest Intelligence

Instead of the usual amenity, there is a card and a pen on the desk: a quiet way to write something to her husband, on the one night of the year that matters to them, even hundreds of miles from home.

02:10
Air conditioning fails
Shadow

She calls. Shadow listens in the background, and a priority ticket reaches engineering before she has even hung up.

Morning debrief
Pulse

Pulse hands the GM the night in one page: one incident, resolved within the hour.

Guest Intelligence

It mentions the letter by name.

She never knows any of this happened.
She just knows this hotel remembers her, because it does.
Questions people actually ask
So… what does your app actually do?–
It takes everything happening in your hotel and tells you what actually matters. Not in 27 reports. In one clear direction. Think less "dashboard museum". More "here is what you should fix before 6pm".
Is this just another reporting tool?+
No. We respect your time too much for that. Reports tell you what went wrong. 86 helps you fix it before it does.
Do I need to change all my systems?+
Absolutely not. We plug into what you already use. No drama. No revolution. No 6-month onboarding. Your PMS stays. Your sanity improves.
Is it complicated to use?+
If you can run a service on a Saturday night, you can use 86. We built it for operators, not analysts. So no, you will not need a 3-hour training or a PhD in Excel.
What kind of decisions does it help with?+
The ones you actually make every day: · Should I push this room category? · Why is my restaurant underperforming tonight? · Who should I upsell to? · Where am I losing money without seeing it? Basically, the questions you ask yourself, but faster.
Is this AI going to replace my team?+
No. It is going to make them look very, very good. 86 handles the analysis. Your team keeps the magic.
What makes this different from what already exists?+
Most tools give you data. We give you direction. Most tools look backward. We help you act forward. Also, we have actually worked in hotels. That helps.
Do I need clean data for this to work?+
No. We will take care of cleaning the mess. Hotels are messy. We know. 86 is built to make sense of that mess, not complain about it.
How fast will I see results?+
Fast enough to wonder why you did not do this earlier. You will start seeing insights almost immediately. And decisions become sharper within days, not months.
Does it work with the systems we already run?+
We are integrating with the most widely used systems in the industry right now. Tell us what you run and we will confirm where we stand with it. Start a pilot conversation and ask.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on your operation, how many properties, which modules, how your team works. No list price that fits everyone. Send us a note and we will give you a straight answer.
Who is this really for?+
If you are: · A general manager juggling 40 things at once · An F&B director trying to control costs without killing creativity · A team that feels they could do better… if they had clearer visibility · Or someone who wants to bring their hotel into the new era of technology, rather than catching up later Then yes. This is for you.
About 86 Labs

Built by hoteliers. For hoteliers.

We do not come from software with an idea about hospitality. We come from hospitality, and decided to build the tool it was missing.

How we got here

86 Labs began with three people who arrived at the same problem from different directions. Mathieu spent years working in luxury hotels across Dubai, the south of France, and Mauritius, and started dreaming of a tool that would give hotel teams the intelligence they clearly deserved but never had. At the same time, without knowing him, Hadi and Francesco were already building exactly that. When they met, there was nothing left to convince anyone of. The operator had found the builders. Fabrizio joined shortly after to lead growth and strategy.

We are not consultants who read a report on hospitality and decided to disrupt it. We come from inside the industry, and we are building the next chapter of it, with the people who have been running hotels for decades, not around them.

Why we exist

The hotel industry is experiencing something it has never seen before: an AI wave rolling across every industry at once, and no one truly understands what it can actually do in operations.

"AI" is in every deck and every article. The actual question is simpler: how do you organise a hotel so the people working there do their jobs better and the guests have a better stay? Almost nobody is answering that one.

It is not really an AI question. It is about how information moves, how decisions get made, and whether a team anticipates or reacts. We build the tools that let hotel teams be extraordinarily human, at a scale that was not possible before.

What we are not
We are not a replacement solution.

Every module we build makes someone better at what they do, it does not do it for them. If a hotel ever ran on 86 Labs with no one left in it, we would call that a failure.

We are not technologists arriving to explain hospitality to the people who live it.

We arrive with questions, with listening, and with real operational knowledge.

We are not chasing AI hype.

AI is a tool, not an answer. We build things that hold up on a busy Saturday night in an understaffed hotel.

We are not a vendor.

We are part of the hospitality community, building something alongside the hotels we work with, not selling to them from outside it.

What we stand for
Transparency

We say what we think, and share bad news as fast as good news. We do not sell what we cannot deliver, and we tell a hotel when the product is not yet right for their context.

Authenticity

We come from hospitality, and speak to hotel teams as equals, not from an ivory tower. Operational expertise is not optional here, it is a prerequisite.

Human-first

Technology exists to serve people, the hotel team and the guest, never the other way around. Every product decision goes through one filter: does this make someone better at their job, or does it replace their job?
