The Westin Resort Nusa Dua’s partnership with IRIS delivers a 30% increase in guest spending
The luxury Bali resort reports significant growth in operational efficiencies, order volumes and revenue following installation of IRIS digital mobile dining and guest directory solutions
IRIS, a global leader in digital F&B, guest directory, and concierge solutions for hotels, is thrilled to announce that The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali has achieved record growth in guest orders and a 30% increase in average guest spend after implementing their mobile ordering and e-compendium platform, outperforming traditional in-person orders.
In the first six months of deployment, the team now processes 90% of orders through their app, compared to just 10% of in-person orders, driving growth in order volumes, halving ticket times, and increasing revenues across the resort.
A contemporary, five-star resort, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali offers family hotel amenities alongside business-friendly event spaces, catering to both leisure and business guests. There is a choice of six restaurants, ranging from family casual to upscale. Wellness is also a key focus and guests can indulge in a revitalising treatment at the Spa or relax by the freshwater pools or white sandy beach of Nusa Dua.
Throughout the resort and to reflect its 5 star service offer, the hotel team were keen to implement a digital solution that would not only enrich the guest experience and increase guest spend, but also enable them to operate more sustainably, omitting the need for numerous hard copy menus throughout the resort and to support staff to deliver a more efficient service.
IRIS Mobile Dining solution was selected for its pool area, beach and in-room dining, all high-volume areas and popular with guests for F&B orders, and the IRIS Guest Directory was implemented to supply guests with information on the hotel and its facilities.
Both solutions have delivered a host of benefits in the first six months of implementation. In particular, across mobile dining, guest cheques are 30% higher compared to traditional, call down orders. The digital menus feature complementary upsell items and photos of the items, all of which contribute to a growth in spend.
As a direct result of guests now adopting a more automated, self-order approach, order processing and speed of service have increased – calls to the front desk have reduced and ticket times are halved, delivering higher guest satisfaction levels and reduced pressure on staff.
Across the pool and beach areas in particular, easily accessible QR codes at every seat means every guest can place every order immediately, without the need to wait to flag down a member of staff, again driving order volumes and revenues.
Alongside the F&B mobile ordering solution the digital Guest Directory enables guests to access the most up-to-date information across the resort, from managing reservations to spa opening times, accessing resort maps and the Bonvoy loyalty programme, all at a time and place most convenient to them.
