High-quality and convenient minibars

Buying minibars for hotels

These days, you can expect to find a minibar in virtually any hotel room you stay in.

Tips for using a minibar

Used correctly, a minibar can contribute to an increase in a hotel’s sales, so we’ve put together a few tips for you:

• Don’t offer too many products – the greater the selection, the harder it is to make a decision
• Find out whether your guests consume more if you give them a voucher on arrival at reception for a free drink from the minibar.
• Considering offering a drink that is a local speciality
• The latest trend is offering guests an empty minibar. You can then let them fill it up with items from a larger bar at the hotel reception so that they can choose for themselves what they would most like to drink
• This also provides guests with the opportunity to chill their own products in the minibar, such as medication or baby food
• To avoid any discrepancies when paying for the drinks, the minibars can even be included in the room rate upwards of a certain room category. This means neither you nor your guests need to worry about the cost of what they are enjoying from the minibar

Minibar in the cupboard or with a glass door?

Minibars are generally integrated into a cupboard. A minibar with a clear glass door that is positioned prominently by the TV, however, offers the advantage of always being in sight of guests to encourage them to make a purchase. Right at the end of the day, this is where you can increase the likelihood of impulse buys.

Affordable minibars

Minibars are a great way of offering your guests a service that creates a subliminal positive impression, so you should think of them in broader terms than just their profitability.

Drinks machines in the corridors may be a practical solution, but your guests don’t to be wandering around the halls in their pyjamas late at night just to get a drink. This is definitely not the best way to make them feel comfortable and it will also cut down on impulse purchases, so minibars should essentially always be on the list for any hotels above a certain rating.
