F.acT: CASABLANCA hotelsoftware has been a family business for 35 years now. Please briefly explain the history of the company and what it stands for today.
Johannes Ehrhart: CASABLANCA hotelsoftware was founded 35 years ago as a family business with a clear vision: To provide hoteliers with an efficient and user-friendly software solution that makes their day-to-day work easier. What began as a small, dedicated team has developed over the decades into one of the leading providers of hotel software in the DACH region. From its beginnings with locally installed programs to today's modern cloud solution, CASABLANCA has constantly evolved and actively helped shape the digitalization of the industry. The focus has always been on quality, innovation and customer proximity.
Today, CASABLANCA stands for excellent software solutions that use automation and intelligent functions to give hoteliers more time for what really matters: their guests. With a strong team spirit, a performance-oriented corporate culture and a consistent customer focus, CASABLANCA remains true to its philosophy - to sustainably improve the hotel industry with technological innovations.

This not only promotes individual development, but also increases the company's innovative strength. - Attractive benefits & modern working conditions
