How Can Jian Ni Yi Mian Help Hotels and Lodging Operators Address Labor Shortages?

In the hospitality industry, including hotels, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts, labor shortages have become a widespread issue, particularly in meal service during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whether it is a buffet, room service, or a 24-hour snack bar, stable and efficient food service solutions are necessary.

How Does Jian Ni Yi Mian Provide Practical Assistance?

1. 24/7 Self-Service Dining to Reduce Night Shift Labor Costs

Jian Ni Yi Mian's smart vending machines can be placed in hotel lobbies, floor common areas, or staff lounges, allowing guests to purchase hot meals such as ramen, stews, and soups anytime without requiring dedicated staff.

• Instant Hot Meal Supply: Using intelligent heating technology, food is kept at optimal taste and quality, providing guests with a quick and convenient dining option.

2. Automating Breakfast Supply to Reduce Peak Hour Stress

Breakfast is often one of the most labor-intensive meal services in hotels. With Jian Ni Yi Mian’s smart vending machines, hotels can offer hot meal options without requiring kitchen operations, including:

• Japanese ramen, risotto, porridge

• Local specialty soups (e.g., miso soup, corn chowder)

• Health-conscious choices (e.g., low-sodium soups, oatmeal)

These options reduce the burden on chefs and servers while ensuring a smooth breakfast experience for guests.

3. Quick Meal Solutions for Lunch and Dinner to Increase Restaurant Revenue

If a hotel’s in-house restaurant cannot operate full-time due to staffing shortages, smart vending machines can supplement meal offerings by providing simple yet high-quality dishes, reducing kitchen labor requirements.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Peak Hours: Reducing wait times for business travelers during lunch rushes.

• Off-Peak Hours: Maintaining revenue between 3–5 PM without full kitchen operations.

• Late Night: Providing hot meals for guests arriving late or working overtime.

4. Reducing Room Service Labor Requirements

Traditional room service involves kitchen preparation, chef execution, and staff delivery, making it costly and complex. Jian Ni Yi Mian’s vending machines can replace certain room service options by offering:

• Ready-to-eat ramen, soups, and stews that guests can prepare themselves.

• QR code ordering for freshly prepared hot meals directly from the vending machine.

This reduces labor costs while maintaining a high-quality in-room dining experience.

5. Internal Staff Meal Solutions to Improve Employee Satisfaction

Hotel staff canteens often face time constraints and manpower shortages. Jian Ni Yi Mian provides 24/7 hot meal options, ensuring employees can always access nutritious meals without labor or time limitations, improving job satisfaction and efficiency.

Conclusion

Jian Ni Yi Mian is not just a food automation solution—it is a key partner in helping hotels and lodging operators address labor shortages and improve operational efficiency. Guests, restaurants, and staff all benefit from more convenient and reliable food services while reducing operating costs.
