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.
