“Room service tends to be a cost center for hotels. They are between a desire to run an efficient operation and the desire to facilitate guests’ needs.” says Bryan Estep, chief revenue officer of iSeatz, “After a long day of meetings, or sightseeing, Business and Leisure travelers alike both have an interest in dining in the privacy of their own room.
