A boutique hotel has a variety of advantages over a chain hotel. There is a charm and character to it, plus there’s better personalisation and often, better service by passionate employees.

Why do some people still choose the big guys over boutiques? It is often for convenience. Boutique hoteliers can also adopt these conveniences to encourage guests to choose their establishment.

Room service is a convenience that offers many benefits.

1. Highlight local fare– When you serve food at your boutique hotel you can provide an experience that is proudly local by partnering with local farmers, bakeries and other food providers. You can showcase local cuisine in an innovative way by offering room service.
2. Benefits for families – Going to a restaurant with young children can be a real hassle. After a long day of travel, kids who are grumpy or hungry do not like to sit still in a restaurant. Parents can feed their children in their rooms with room service. For more information on how to incorporate a Pager System to help, visit www.dinggly.com/

3. Convenience for business travellers – After a day of meetings and travel, business travellers often want to relax and enjoy a meal. They can order room service and enjoy their meal in a comfortable and quiet environment.

4. Encourages safety and social distance– Many people are no longer comfortable eating indoors, in a restaurant setting. This is due to COVID-19. Your kitchen can remain open and operational even if you have fewer reservations and offering room service is a great revenue stream.
