Roger
Staubach joined The Ocho to discuss all of the great work he’s doing
with veterans, and thankfully he’s not the only America’s Team alumni
who’s doing so. Cowboys Ring of Honor Member Darren Woodson is doing
outstanding work for veterans with Crown Royal and told us all about it
on the latest episode of The Ocho. You can listen right here.
Woody
is still somewhat fresh off of leaving ESPN where he served as an NFL
analyst. He has a lot of projects going on in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area, and this latest partnership with Crown Royal (The Crown Royal
Purple Bag Project) is one of them.
The
company was born from a desire to make life better for property
managers — the busiest people we’ve ever met. Our early days of managing
the challenges of guest access revealed a much greater need. Property
managers had no visibility into the status of their units and no
centralized system from which to operate. While smart home technology
was becoming increasingly common, nothing brought solutions together to
create a cooperative ecosystem.

That
seed brought us to where we are today: Operto. The name is based on the
Italian word aperto, which means open and reflects our mission to open
possibilities for property managers and their guests through meaningful
technology and personalized experience.
TRVL.com
founder Jochem Wijnands says he has come full circle, completely
overhauling his at-times controversial B2C travel booking site into a
B2B platform that’s strictly for travel agents only, and free to join.
Wijnands
is positioning the site as an online revolution, putting the power of
the OTAs into the hands of traditional travel agents. “We want to put
travel agents centre stage,” says Wijnands, adding that a number of
retail groups in Canada have agreed to make the TRVL platform available
to their agents.
Launched in Canada in early September, the site is already getting positive feedback from the trade, he says.
It wasn’t always that way. The original TRVL.com was a B2C site that had consumers booking hotels and pocketing the commission.
By
2017 the site had alarm bells ringing at TICO, and TRVL.com, which was
not registered with TICO, was barred from operating in Ontario. “Anybody
who is selling travel in the province … must be employed by or
otherwise aligned with a registered travel agency in the province of
Ontario,” said TICO President Richard Smart at the time.
For a whole era of customers, reserving a restaurant through smartphone is as foreign hobby as the use of a rotary cellphone or creating a document on a typewriter.
And it turned into Opentable that created this shift in how getting a table at a restaurant could be carried out without the trouble of “dialing for dining.”
Opentable became a nationwide carrier, online reservations were a common practice and the firm went public with a listing at the Nasdaq.
5 years later, Opentable exited the general public markets, obtained at an at-the-time record-breaking all-cash $2. 6 billion deal with the Priceline Group.
At the time, Priceline CEO Darren Huston noted the deal was a natural move, given the inherent synchronicity between the two marketplaces.
“The
kind of work that we do day-to-day is very similar. It’s just a
different marketplace,” Huston told on the Business Financial Post.
Priceline Group Inc. stepped up its acquisition spree by buying OpenTable Inc. in a deal worth at $2.6 billion, including restaurant bookings to an online travel business already spanning flights, hotels and cars.
