This is top priority for any restaurant, hotel, bar or amusement park: generate more turnover with less costs. After all, competition is fierce and that is partly why margins are under pressure. Add to that the current coronavirus problem and we see a great need to differentiate from that same competition.
This blog presents examples of Hospitality Digital Signage and discusses how you can increase your turnover in the Hospitality industry with Digital Signage.
Hospitality is a broad concept. That is why we use the following definition in this blog: the service industry that includes lodging, food and drink service, event planning, theme parks, and transportation. A great diversity exists of Digital Signage that is used in the Hospitality industry. The most common forms are:

Impossible to miss it, but Digital Signage has actually become commonplace. Everywhere you go, there are digital messages that want to reach you. Examples we mentioned in the previous section are probably familiar to you. And this is supported by the numbers. Indeed, market research shows that the global digital signage market will increase to approximately US$ 31 billion by 2025, nearly doubling in size from US$ 16 billion in 2016. And that certainly also applies to the Hospitality sector, an innovative market where people are always looking for giving the optimal customer experience.
Ever doubted whether Digital Signage is of interest to your company? We have listed some numbers for you that might convince you:
The benefits of Digital Signage can therefore be enormous for all hospitality organizations. Messages are more noticed, processes are being organized more tightly and ultimately more is sold. But before you decide to apply Digital Signage, it is important to also make a good calculation of the (expected) ROI.
Yes, Digital Signage also costs. A significant amount must often be invested in a well-functioning solution that really offers the ultimate customer experience. So it’s important to think about ROI.
Lower costs
Although the ROI is certainly in the increased turnover, you must also consider the decreased costs. Your organization can save a lot of time, energy and therefore money through Digital Signage. Countless examples can be envisaged. After all, a virtual check-in requires less manpower than a face-to-face check-in. You also need fewer people to inform guests about their travel & stay. What to think about an automatic waiter signalling system, to get more work done with less hands? While with a digital system to distribute your advertisements, nobody has to physically perform an action on location. Of course, you don’t have to re-create a Digital Menu for every “new menu” and bring it to the printer.
Measure ROI
The most important thing is to think carefully in advance, about how you will measure this ROI. You can do that in three steps:
Digital Signage can certainly be of added value to Hospitality organizations. More awareness, more turnover and ultimately: lower costs due to tighter processes.
