The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the hospitality industry, including select service and limited service hotels. It has also greatly affected the food and beverage (F&B) operations at these establishments.
F&B revenue has taken a significant hit due to the pandemic. With restrictions on indoor dining, reduced occupancy rates, and a decline in overall customer spending, hotels have experienced a sharp decrease in revenue from their F&B outlets. This has forced many establishments to rethink their F&B strategies and explore alternative solutions.
To adapt to the changing landscape, select service and limited service hotels have focused on offering takeout and delivery services. They have implemented online ordering platforms, partnered with third-party delivery services, and optimized their menus for grab-and-go options. By doing so, hotels have aimed to cater to guests who prefer in-room dining or are looking for convenient meal options during their stay.
Innovative solutions such as the GrabScanGo managed lobby market have emerged as valuable tools for select service and limited service hotels to streamline their F&B operations. GrabScanGo offers a contactless, self-checkout market experience within the hotel lobby, allowing guests to easily access a wide selection of food and beverage options. This automated system eliminates the need for traditional buffets or manned F&B outlets.
With GrabScanGo, the lobby market is stocked with a variety of pre-packaged meals, snacks, and beverages. Guests can simply scan the items they wish to purchase using their smartphones or the self-checkout terminal, make payments securely, and enjoy their selections at their convenience. This innovative solution not only provides a safe F&B experience but also allows hotels to generate revenue even during periods of low occupancy or limited dine-in options.
As the hospitality industry continues to recover, select service and limited service hotels can benefit from embracing technologies like GrabScanGo to enhance their F&B operations. By offering a convenient and contactless food and beverage solution, hotels can cater to guest preferences while maintaining a focus on safety and efficiency. The integration of GrabScanGo managed lobby markets represents a step towards the future of F&B in the hotel industry, where innovative solutions meet the evolving needs of guests.
