Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

Every hotel front desk in the world hears it, multiple times a day, in every language.Recommended Video “Can you call me a cab,” said Mike Coscetta, president of the hospitality property management service Mews. It’s “one of the most common sentences when you run hotel operations.” And so begins a long process that puts a substantial strain on the hotel industry. The receptionist calls a local provider, but the line is busy, or the wait is 40 minutes, or the driver takes a higher-paying fare and never shows. The guest grows frustrated. The staff member, already juggling six other things, is stuck playing dispatcher for a service the hotel doesn’t control, doesn’t profit from, and can’t guarantee. Uber thinks it can make that entire problem disappear.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Fortune.
