Marriott Executive Apartments, Dubai Creek, renowned for its commitment to exceptional guest experiences, has chosen IRIS, the leading provider of mobile F&B ordering platforms, to revolutionise their in-room dining services. This strategic move aligns with the hotel's commitment to innovation, enhanced guest journeys, and revenue diversification.

 

Maximising Revenue and Elevating
Culinary Experiences

With high occupancy and recognising the need to maximise revenue beyond room rates, Marriott Executive Apartments, Dubai Creek has honed in on Food and Beverage (F&B) as a key area for growth. The decision to adopt the IRIS mobile dining app stems from a comprehensive strategy to increase sales and average guest spend.

In response to an evolving market where guests are increasingly turning to online delivery apps, we sought to offer a superior in-room dining alternative.

IRIS’ mobile dining app provides the same user-friendly journey with upselling functionality and vivid imagery, ensuring a fresher, quicker, and higher-quality in-room culinary experience for our guests.

Enhanced Guest Journey and Streamlined Operations

The IRIS mobile dining app serves as a multi-functional tool, enhancing the overall guest stay and streamlining the in-room dining ordering process. This technology empowers the hotel to cater to the evolving expectations of guests, particularly those on extended stays, who seek variety and convenience in their dining experiences.

The app's upselling functionality, complete with customised recommendations, is anticipated to boost average guest spend. By leveraging data analytics, the hotel can refine and enhance its F&B offerings with swift adjustments to categories and menu items, ensuring they align with guest preferences.

With IRIS, we have the opportunity to provide an extensive range of tailored menu options, easily editable for seasonal changes and the rotation of daily specials. The digital menus not only match the ease of delivery apps but also allow us to communicate new options effectively to our guests

Seamless Implementation and Operational Efficiency

The mobile ordering platform reduces operational load by seamlessly integrating with the hotel's Point of Sale (POS) system. Orders are delivered straight to the kitchen, eliminating the possibility of human error in order processing and improving accuracy.
