Bartech, a provider of automatic minibars for hotels, has launched its Flat eFridge minibar solution. The new wall-mounted eFridge has a 17-liter storage capacity and a range of customizable options, including glass panel designs, color tints and door frames. Its thermoelectric cooling is noiseless.
“In addition to the stylistic advantages of being able to mount on the guestroom wall like a flat-screen TV, it includes all the advanced features of all of our automated minibars,” Bruno Agrario, VP of sales and marketing at Bartech, said in a statement. “For instance, the Flat eFridge tracks consumption in real-time, ensuring that hotels can optimize their staff resources and always bill guests accurately.”
Efficiency and Profitability
Like several of Bartech’s other minibar options, the Flat eFridge minimizes the need for manual inventory checks for each room throughout the day, allowing staff to focus on other responsibilities. Each unit can operate as a fully automatic minibar, detecting when items are removed and instantly billing the guest, or as a semi-automatic minibar, giving hoteliers increased flexibility in managing their inventory. Both features aim to help hotels reduce labor costs and eliminate risk of missed or disputed charges, increasing profitability without the need to raise prices.
Bartech’s Flat eFridge also supports multiple integration options with a property’s PMS, facilitating a property’s choice between automated, semi-automated or traditional minibars, depending on their needs.
Showcasing at BDNY 2024
Bartech will be showcasing the eFridge at the upcoming Boutique Design New York (BDNY) trade show, held Nov. 10-11, 2024. Hoteliers attending the event can learn more about the eFridge at booth #1248.
