Why Traditional Room Service Is Dying

For decades, room service was a hallmark of luxury hotels. But in 2025, many hotels are phasing it out. Why?

❌ Low Profit Margins – High labor and food costs make traditional room service unsustainable.
❌ Long Wait Times – Guests expect on-demand service, not cold food after 45 minutes.
❌ Third-Party Competition – Apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and local delivery services offer better variety and pricing.
❌ Changing Guest Preferences – Many travelers prefer casual, grab-and-go dining options over expensive plated meals.

The Future of In-Room Dining: What’s Replacing It?

Instead of shutting down in-room dining, hotels are reinventing how guests eat.

⦿ Ghost Kitchens & Virtual Restaurants ‍ – Hotels are using off-site or hidden kitchens to serve custom menus at lower costs.
⦿ App-Based Ordering & Smart Room Menus – Guests can order directly from digital menus with AI-driven recommendations.
⦿ Hybrid Room Service & Local Partnerships – Instead of maintaining full-service kitchens, hotels are partnering with local restaurants for co-branded delivery.
⦿ Vending & Grab-and-Go Stations ️ – Hotels are stocking fresh, chef-prepared meals in vending machines or lobby markets.
⦿ Automated & Robotics Delivery – Some hotels are using robot servers and AI-powered ordering systems to cut labor costs and improve speed.

Which Hotels Are Winning This Transition?
