How to navigate budget season and select the most effective digital F&B ordering platform for your hotel
Our useful guide for hotel leaders to achieve higher revenue, greater efficiency, and happier guests with the right digital ordering strategy in 2026.
As hotels prepare budgets for 2026, leaders are under pressure to maximise returns on every investment.
The right digital F&B ordering platform is one of those rare solutions where a relatively small outlay can have a big impact - driving revenue, streamlining operations, and elevating the guest experience. But where do you start with your researching and planning?
Why it’s an important decision
Choosing the right digital dining solution isn’t just about technology - it’s about securing a competitive advantage and fulfilling guest’s needs. Today’s guests expect intuitive, mobile-first ordering, while staff need tools that simplify and automate processes.
But with multiple platforms on the market, each promoting different features, how do you know which is right for your business?
Kiss goodbye to fragmented tech stacks and unlock your F&B potential
IRIS has created a practical buyers guide that highlights the essential considerations when selecting a platform, including:
What mobile ordering is and how it benefits your staff, your business and your guests
How it can resolve staffing challenges and achieve your F&B goals.
Proven ways to boost guest spend and F&B revenue by over 20%.
Key features and functionalities (like Timeslots, Allergen filters, Upselling and Open Tabs) to save you time and money.
Integrations - does the platform have true, real-time integrations to your POS, PMS and SOS?
How it fulfils guests expectations for a digital experience
Does it scale along with your business e.g. when you add new hotels to your group or if you want to add extra outlets across your property?
