Discover how Typsy’s hospitality training platform delivers measurable impact with microlearning, blended learning, and guest-focused outcomes.
The hospitality industry is one of the world’s most people-driven sectors. Every check-in, every plated dish, and every guest interaction relies on the skills, confidence, and professionalism of frontline teams. Yet, the sector struggles with high staff turnover, skills shortages, and outdated training practices.
Traditional training - bulky manuals, inconsistent inductions, and one-off workshops - no longer works. Employees forget most of what they learn within days, and managers struggle to scale training across multiple venues or regions.
Typsy was created to change this. As a global hospitality training platform, Typsy delivers bite-sized, interactive, multimodal learning that equips staff with the skills they need - and ensures they can apply them in real-world service.
Typsy is not just another eLearning platform. It is designed around proven learning science theories that drive measurable impact:
Microlearning & Cognitive Load Theory
Lessons are short (3–5 minutes).
Each video delivers three clear learning outcomes.
Small, repeatable chunks reduce overload and improve retention.
Multimodal Learning (VARK framework)
Visual: High-quality expert-led video demonstrations.
Auditory: Multi-language narration and audio dubbing.
Reading/Writing: Captions in 30+ languages.
Kinesthetic: Real-world activities to apply skills.
Active Recall & Application
Quizzes test knowledge and reinforce memory.
Activities check whether learners can apply lessons in the workplace.
Recognition & Motivation
Certificates and micro-credentials provide career-building proof of skills.
Learners can share achievements on LinkedIn and resumes, motivating ongoing learning.
Every learner receives a skills profile, capturing all their learning achievements in one place.
This blended learning approach ensures training is accessible, engaging, and impactful for every learner - from hotel managers in New York, to waitstaff in Nairobi.
When Radisson Blu adopted Typsy, they wanted more than content — they wanted cultural change. Managers saw results within months:
“"Typsy is one of the best innovative digital learning platforms—so easy to use, with multiple language options and engaging visuals that keep our staff excited to learn. Our GRI and experience scores have improved...” – Director of Training, Radisson Blu, Doha
Outcome: Stronger team morale, more confident communication, and improved guest satisfaction scores.
Latitude 0° Hotels, Africa
Latitude 0° needed a way to upskill staff across departments in a competitive market where service is everything.
"Typsy has helped us build a skilled and confident team, putting us at a level where our service is optimum. Guest satisfaction is good, and this training has really helped our hotels. Our team’s knowledge, confidence, and service have improved.” – Human Resources Manager, Latitude 0°
Outcome: Measurable improvements in service consistency and staff confidence, noticed directly by guests.
FIU Hospitality School, United States
FIU wanted to support students to connect theory to practice by bringing the industry to life, which is particularly important in online environments where real-world visuals are harder to access.
"Typsy helps my students gain a better sense of the industry - especially in an online environment where real-world visuals are harder to provide.” – Assistant Professor, FIU
Outcome: Typsy bridges the gap between online learning and real-world industry experience.
Typsy demonstrates Promising evidence of impact:
Foundation: Built on strong educational theory (microlearning, multimodal delivery, experiential learning, Kirkpatrick’s model).
Positive outcomes: Testimonials and sentiment data consistently show improved confidence, skill application, and staff retention.
Organizational benefits: Employers report stronger training adoption, reduced turnover, and better guest experiences.
Innovative measurement: Typsy’s ReviewLearn AI links guest review data directly to training needs, creating a measurable loop between service outcomes and learning.
Typsy isn’t just delivering training - it’s delivering measurable transformation.
Typsy measures impact through Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation:
Reaction – Learner engagement, satisfaction, and adoption.
Learning – Achievement of three outcomes per lesson; quizzes and activity scores.
Behavior – Observable changes in workplace behavior, supported by manager feedback.
Results – Organizational outcomes like higher guest satisfaction, reduced turnover, and improved service consistency, plus sentiment data and surveys.
For example, a restaurant manager noticing guest complaints about “slow service” can use ReviewLearn AI to assign targeted lessons on workflow and communication. The result: better staff efficiency, faster service, and happier guests.
Hospitality workforces are often:
Young and transient
Culturally diverse
Time-poor but ambitious
That’s why blended, flexible training matters. Typsy empowers businesses to:
Standardize service across global hotel chains.
Reduce onboarding costs with ready-to-use video lessons.
Upskill multilingual workforces with 30+ caption languages.
Boost retention by offering career-building credentials.
