Hotel Gartnerkofel: Digital buffet signage for a down-to-earth, modern holiday experience
At Hotel Gartnerkofel in Carinthia, vacations are all about warmth, enjoyment, and genuine hospitality. To ensure that guests are not only well catered for in terms of cuisine but also informed, the hotel team has recently started using digital buffet signs from Delfi Technologies in cooperation with Prorising GmbH. Information about the current buffet selection is now communicated to guests via up to 200 electronic displays.
“Our buffet is a popular meeting point for food lovers – whether it’s for breakfast, a light afternoon snack, or our legendary fish or dessert buffets,” says Martin Waldner. He adds, “Thanks to the new digital signage, we can now display all food information flexibly and within seconds – clearly structured, at a glance, and including allergen labeling.”
“The digital buffet signs make our daily work significantly easier. We can make changes to dishes and ingredients directly on the computer or via the smartphone app – without the need for new printouts or manually switching signs. And our guests instantly know what they can look forward to.”
Introduction of electronic labeling helps optimize daily workflows
Before the implementation, labeling the buffet dishes was a recurring, time-consuming task each day. Now, the electronic signs not only ensure a professional appearance but also provide noticeable relief for the kitchen and service teams – especially with frequently changing menus or seasonal specialties.
Guests with allergies or specific dietary needs also appreciate the new solution: allergens are clearly labeled, which builds trust and ensures safety – without the need to ask.
This small yet impactful digital upgrade shows that even a family-run hotel can combine modern solutions with a down-to-earth holiday atmosphere. “Here, we don’t just serve vanilla sauce – we also serve smart technology, and always with a smile,” adds Martin Waldner with a grin.
