In a world where 76% of consumers prefer spending on experiences over material goods, Way enables brands to adapt to this shift with cutting-edge technology.
Founded in 2020, Way began as a solution for hospitality brands to drive brand loyalty and generate experiential revenue at scale. Industry leaders like Hyatt Hotels, Hilton, Trailborn, and Auberge Resorts Collection rely on Way’s all-in-one experiential platform to launch unforgettable experiences — from hot air balloon rides in Mexico City to truffle hunting in the French countryside.

As the company continues its rapid growth, we’re seeking visionary, driven team players to join our dynamic environment, where challenges are met with unmatched rewards as we transform the hospitality and experiences industry globally.
