IRIS shortlisted for two prestigious hospitality awards

IRIS is thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for not one, but two industry-leading awards. Both celebrate the very best in hospitality innovation and technology.

We have been recognised at the Travolution Awards 2025 in the Champions of Mobile category, and at the Hotel Visionary Awards 2025 in the Food and Beverage category.

 

Travolution Awards 2025 - Champions of Mobile

Travolution Awards – Champions of Mobile

The Travolution Awards are one of the travel and hospitality industry’s most anticipated celebrations. They spotlight the organisations that are shaping the digital future.

Our shortlist is for the Champions of Mobile award, which honours technology providers who are leading the way with mobile-first innovation.

IRIS has been recognised for our F&B mobile ordering platform, which allows guests to browse, order, and pay from their own device, at their own convenience. Over the past 12 months, we have introduced a series of powerful features designed to empower F&B leaders, enhance the guest journey, and drive measurable results.

These include:

  • Google Analytics integration

  • Charge to Room with automated verification

  • Related items and smart upsells

  • Advance ordering

  • Digital staff ordering

 

Hotel Visionary Awards 2025

Hotel Visionary Awards – Food and Beverage category

Hosted by Hospitality Technology magazine, the Hotel Visionary Awards celebrate the industry’s most innovative companies and leaders.

IRIS has been shortlisted in the Food and Beverage category for our partnership with HEI Hotels & Resorts, who selected IRIS to roll out mobile ordering across their portfolio of properties.

Currently live in 20 hotels, our platform enables guests to order at touchpoints across the entire guest journey, from coffee shops to poolside, meeting spaces to room service. The results have been transformative:

  • The Gwen, Chicago – average transaction values increased by more than 20%

  • The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio – a 46% uplift in average transaction values

  • Westchester Marriott – 33% expansion in F&B operations and 127% more orders processed with the same staffing levels

These achievements highlight the power of digital ordering to drive both efficiency and profitability for hoteliers.

To be shortlisted for two such prestigious awards is a fantastic recognition of our team’s dedication and creativity. At IRIS, we are committed to developing innovative solutions that make life easier for hoteliers and elevate the guest experience.

These nominations are testament to the impact our technology is having across the industry - our solutions are helping hoteliers boost revenue, free up staff time, and deliver outstanding guest satisfaction. We are incredibly proud to be recognised alongside so many inspiring companies.
— Mark Horne, IRIS CEO

The winners will be announced later this year at the Travolution Awards on Tuesday, 2 December 2025 at City Central at the HAC, London and at the Hotel Visionary Awards ceremony (part of Hotel Technology Forum) on November 13, 2025, in Las Vegas.

We would like to congratulate all the nominees. It is a brilliant showcase of the innovation, resilience, and leadership that continue to shape the future of hospitality.
