In the competitive hotel industry, every detail counts. With digitalization, hotels not only optimize their daily operations, but also reduce costs and improve their guests' experience. Today, we analyze how the digitalization of buffet labeling can generate significant economic and operational savings.
1. The hidden cost of manual labeling at buffets
How much does manual labeling really cost?
Many hotels still use printed labels that require manual updating before each buffet service. This process consumes time and resources that could be spent on higher-value tasks.
We estimate that an average hotel invests:
- 15 minutes per service (with 3 daily services).
- This translates into an approximate cost of €270 per month in personnel.
- Total annual cost: €4,320 in labeling time only, not counting the cost of printing and laminating labels.
This figure is just the beginning of the total expense generated by manual labeling in buffets.
2. The Solution: Electronic Labels
What does a digital labeling system bring to the buffet?
An electronic labeling system eliminates the need to manually replace labels, dramatically reducing update time and costs.
With digitalization, hotels can:
- Save up to €4,320 per year in labor costs.
- Quickly amortize your investment in digital labeling technology.
- Reduce manual labeling tasks by 90%, allowing staff to focus on improving customer service
- Eliminate costs of printed materials, such as paper and lamination, which are replaced by durable digital screens.
3. Flexibility and Real Time Updates
Easy and agile management from any device
Digital labeling not only saves money; It also allows you to update information quickly and easily. With a mobile device, staff can change the language, allergens and even the status of dishes in seconds.
This is especially useful for:
- Last minute changes to the menu.
- Dish availability updates.
- Accurate information for guests in real time.
In comparison, manual labeling is rarely updated in time, impacting efficiency and customer experience.
4. Sustainability: The Added Value of Digital
Reducing the ecological footprint of the buffet
Opting for digital labels also helps reduce the hotel's environmental impact by reducing the use of paper and plastics for physical labels. This contributes to a greener operation and reinforces your hotel's image as a responsible and sustainable establishment, which is increasingly attractive to environmentally conscious guests.
