    Hilton CEO: AI-Driven Project RISE Targets 75-100 Basis Points Owner Margin Improvement

    Hilton President & CEO Christopher Nassetta said at Skift Global Forum that the company launched Project RISE in mid-2025, targeting 75 to 100 basis points of owner margin improvement through AI and process redesign. He stressed that AI-driven efficiency should be a recurring program, not a one-off cut, and revealed Hilton scrapped its entire legacy technology stack seven or eight years ago to maintain agility. Nassetta also noted that non-residential fixed investment exceeded 10% in Q2 2026, giving the industry room for structural cost improvements, but the AI infrastructure spending cycle has not yet peaked, with winners and losers expected.

He said he began developing a response in late 2024 and early 2025; Hilton launched Project Rise last June and rolled it out this year, committing to return 75 to 100 basis points of incremental margin to owners.

Private events deliver roughly 20% higher margins than typical a la carte restaurant business, with average event revenue up 4.4% year over year even as broader restaurant sales stayed flat.

    Digitizing the Operational Backbone: The Next Frontier in Restaurant Performance

    The article notes that while hospitality has invested in customer-facing tech, back-office operations like purchasing, inventory, invoicing, and labor planning remain manual.
