OKR examples in leisure and hospitality

The leisure and hospitality industry includes food and beverage services, events, accommodation, and recreation. Hospitality is a dynamic sector, with many companies employing many people across multiple locations. Establishing company-wide OKRs, objectives and key results can be hugely beneficial to cascade strategic focus and align everyone on corporate values amidst distributed teams across different locations.
