Matt Talks Hospitality: Real conversations for innovative hoteliers
What hotel SOPs can never teach, with Miru Schuurman of Amrâth Hotels
April 8, 2026

Miru Schuurman, Guest Performance & Product Quality Manager at Amrâth Hotels, shares how too much structure can create staff that sticks to scripts instead of reading rooms, and what that can cost you on OTA ratings.
