There are many things that you need to consider when setting up or running a hotel and providing exceptional customer service and convenience should be at the top of your list of priorities. There are many ways to achieve this, but one of the easiest and most effective is by installing vending machines in strategic, profitable locations.
Here, we take a look at the ways in which installing vending machines can not only enhance the overall guest experience but also boost the profits of your hotel as well.
Hotel guests now expect higher standards than ever before, which means they want to be able to get their hands on food or drink at all hours of the day and night. This is not always an easy thing for many hotels to achieve, but installing vending machines can change all this.
They can be positioned in reception areas, lobbies or at the end of corridors to help satisfy any late-night cravings or even stock those essential personal care items like toothbrushes or deodorant that might have been left at home. A vending machine means that your guests do not need to be dependent on operating hours and can become an easy and convenient solution for many of their needs.
The hospitality industry has been through some hard times in the last few years, so it is understandable that many hotel owners are now looking for the best ways to increase the revenue that they are able to bring in.
A lot of money can be made by installing vending machines at convenient locations throughout the hotel. A diverse product selection makes it much easier to entice guests into making impulse purchases as well as buying the essentials or even souvenirs.
The cost of a vending machine tends to be much lower than staffing a shop on site, which means you can maximise the profits that you are able to make.
Hotels don’t just want one off bookings; they want repeat visitors and word of mouth recommendations and the most effective way to achieve this is by providing the best possible guest experience. Well placed vending machines can play a big part in achieving this.
They can not only carry snacks and drinks, but they can also provide a wide range of toiletries and first aid items. Depending on your location, you may also want a special souvenir vending machine that can contain all sorts of things from guidebooks to key rings, cuddly toys and tea towels.
This can make you the hotel that has thought of everything and makes many aspects of your guests stay easier and more enjoyable.
Hotels are not just used by holiday makers but also by those who are travelling on business. It is these kinds of travellers who have much less free time in between their seminars and meetings so they may not be able to make the traditional hotel meal times. A vending machine can make it much easier for them to get hold of food and drink at any time of the day, whether it is at the end of an arduous conference or in between meetings.
Vending machines are a great way for anyone to enjoy their stay in a hotel that little bit more. They offer convenience and accessibility, with no worries about a language barrier.
Simply placing them in high traffic areas can provide an easy temptation that will make any stay a more pleasant one and help boost the profit margins of your hotel at the same time.
Increase profit and boost guest satisfaction by investing in vending machines for your hotel. Create a 24/7 service to ensure the happiness of your guests and generate extra income on the side. Whether it’s a midnight snack or forgotten toiletries your guests and your bottom line will thank you!
