The digital era has encouraged the hospitality industry to adopt the technological development to increase services to guests. This study examines the readiness index to change by hotel employees in facing the transformation of the hotel industry. This paper aims to analyze factors that contribute to the readiness index to change by employees of starred hotels. Data collected from surveys to hotel employees (287 respondents) in Makassar and Parepare city. This paper uses the Technology Readiness Index to analyze data from the survey. The study reveals that the readiness index to change by the hotel employees is at 3.36; the level is medium. Significant contributing factors should be maintained, whereas low contributing factors should be improved. This paper provides insight into the importance of the readiness index to change by the hotel employees.
