Buffet Labels Invented by Hoteligy in 2017

Digital labels that transform your buffet

Digital signage for hotel buffets that eliminates paper. Electronic labels with allergens, dish names, and nutritional info in the guest's language, updated in real time from the cloud.

The problem

Is your buffet still relying on paper?

Paper labels

You print and replace dozens of labels every time the menu changes. Wasted time, unnecessary waste.

Incomplete allergens

Regulations require 14 allergens to be displayed. With paper, it's easy to make mistakes that put guest health at risk.

Limited languages

Your hotel welcomes guests from many countries but labels only cover 2-3 languages. The rest don't understand what they're eating.

Constant changes

The menu changes daily but updating paper labels is slow, error-prone, and consumes team resources.
