David DeMoss

CEO and Founder, WAKEUP CALL

A seasoned risk management professional with extensive expertise in the hospitality sector, David DeMoss has served in all aspects of the industry from coast to coast. Prior to founding WAKEUP CALL, he spent over ten years as vice president of Petra Risk Solutions, where he received his CIC designation. He helped his clients by effectively engineering their insurance policies as part of their overall risk management strategy. This overall strategy would become the blueprint for handling the diverse risks they faced on a daily basis within their respective hotels and resorts around the country. As a former insurance broker specializing in the hotel market, he gained experience and expertise in a wide range of risk management processes specific to the hospitality industry, such as property inspections, onsite training, OSHA compliance resources, HR services and other areas requested by his clients. When requests for these services began to grow faster than the brokerage, he identified a need for a simple and streamlined risk management solution for the industry, and set out to provide it. With years of in-depth service dedicated to the hospitality sector, David is knowledgeable in virtually all aspects of hotel, resort and spa risk exposure and management. His specialized expertise led to the development of the WAKEUP CALL platform, which was introduced in 2011. Until then, the hospitality industry had been under-serviced by a couple of general resources, which provided minimal support. With the advent of WAKEUP CALL, David has single-handedly revolutionized the industry with a powerful, single-source, online solution that provides complete, real-time information and tools to assist hotels in managing critical and emerging issues.

Coming up in April 2021...

Guest Service: Health and Safety First

Though expectations are that hotels will return to some semblance of normalcy in 2021, their highest priority must continue to be the health and safety of guests and employees. To that end, hotels are training their guest service personnel in enhanced cleaning routines, which include the following practices - bathrooms, elevator buttons, remote controls and other high-touch items, are disinfected and cleaned with a higher frequency; all tables, chairs and menus in restaurants are cleaned at a much higher frequency, and after each seating; floor markers in public areas to remind guests and team members to maintain physical distance; hand alcohol stations and disposable gloves in lobbies and restaurants; loose items such as pens, note pads and information material removed from rooms and meeting rooms; limiting the number of seats in restaurants and public areas; and revised food & beverage offerings. The April issue of the Hotel Business Review will review how guest service personnel are being trained to maintain health and safety protocols in their operations.
