The Takeaway Revolution
Increased Revenue
– Capture additional sales from locals who prefer dining off- site.
Customer Convenience
– Cater to busy locals seeking high-quality meals on the go.
Brand Visibility
– Expand reach beyond hotel guests by attracting local customers.
Takeaway services isn’t just the domain of shop units. With a consistent rise in takeaway sales—up 5.5% in November 2024 alone—hotels are now capitalising on the growing appetite for meals enjoyed at home.
Consumer behaviour underscores this trend, with 31% of UK consumers indulging in at least one takeaway meal per week.
There is evidence that hoteliers are adapting to the growing demand for convenience and flexibility, when it comes to dining options by offering a takeaway menu, allowing customers to enjoy your culinary offerings on the go or in the comfort of their rooms. This trend is a cert to expand your revenue stream.
Creating a takeaway menu is not hard if you focus on practicality, quality, and presentation. Choose items that are easy to package, transport, and reheat, such as gourmet sandwiches, salads, pasta, and snacks like pastries or fruit bowls. Label reheating instructions clearly and consider adding local flavours to enhance the guest experience.

Cash usage on the rise for second successive year!!
We didn't see that coming!
Cash use in the shops rose for a second year in a row in 2023 after a decade of falls, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
Notes and coins were used in a fifth of transactions last year as shoppers found cash helped them to budget better, said the BRC.
Overall, customers visited shops more frequently but made smaller purchases. The total number of transactions rose from 19.6 billion to 21.0 billion while the average amount spent per transaction fell from £22.43 to £22.03.
Meanwhile, card fees paid by retailers continued to grow. The total amount paid by retailers to banks and card schemes rose by over 25% in 2023. This brought the total card fees paid to £1.64 billion.
