GrabScanGo is bringing Fully Managed lobby markets to more Dallas hotels. Where service is available, a local service operator partner sources products, stocks the shelves and handles day-to-day operation, and GrabScanGo provides the self-checkout platform and technology support.
Some properties are a better fit for a Hotel Operated market. Your team or your existing vendor handles purchasing, stocking and daily operation, and GrabScanGo provides assortment, planogram and pricing guidance, checkout technology, payments, inventory tools, launch support and ongoing platform support.
Our hotel team confirms which service is available for your property and recommends the path that fits it.
Explore Fully ManagedVisitor, convention and construction data can help you think through who will shop your lobby and when. These are planning considerations, not forecasts for any one hotel.
Visit Dallas reports more than 27.7 million visitors in 2024 and more than 1,400 events booked in fiscal year 2025. Leisure travelers and meeting attendees can end up in the same lobby, so the assortment may need to cover a quick breakfast as well as late-evening snacks.
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas expansion is set to debut in 2030, and plans include 750,000 square feet of exhibit space. If your hotel depends on citywide events, plan a market that works for the guests you have now and can be adjusted once the expanded center opens.
Matthews reported 4,600 hotel rooms under construction across 38 projects in Dallas-Fort Worth in Q3 2025. For a hotel still in design, that is the easiest time to decide where a market goes.
