Expansion of Contactless Consumption... Lotte Hotel Seoul Launches Late-Night Drive-Thru Menu

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] As social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are being strengthened, demand for year-end home parties is increasing, and the hotel industry is also enhancing contactless (untact) services.

Lotte Hotel Seoul announced on the 16th that it will offer a late-night drive-thru menu called ‘The Night Flex’ that allows guests to enjoy hotel-style cuisine at home until December 31 next year.

This late-night exclusive menu differs from the existing drive-thru service, which was only available during restaurant operating hours, by extending the pickup time from 9 PM to 5 AM the next day, thereby improving accessibility.

The product is offered in three types according to the number of people. First, the ‘Single Platter’ for one person includes tenderloin steak salad, assorted cheeses, and caprese. The price is 40,000 KRW. The ‘Couple Platter’ for two people, designed for late-night home dates, includes tenderloin steak salad, assorted cheeses, salami, and smoked salmon. The price is 90,000 KRW. For those preparing a late-night small gathering at home, the ‘Family Platter’ is recommended. Customers can choose between ‘Family Platter A,’ which includes tenderloin steak salad, assorted cheeses, salami, and various side dishes, or ‘Family Platter B,’ which has the same composition but with a reduced amount of tenderloin steak salad and three lamb chops added. Both are priced at 120,000 KRW.

Additionally, a variety of wines recommended by Lotte Hotel sommeliers, essential for a late-night dinner, are offered. Six types of wines are available, including Lotte Hotel’s signature wine ‘DV Catena Malbec’ (70,000 KRW) and the authentic Spanish sparkling wine ‘Lux Cava’ (35,000 KRW). Prices include tax.

The menus are exclusive to Lotte Hotel Seoul’s phone orders and can be reserved up to two hours in advance. They can be picked up at the first-floor drive-thru pickup zone at the designated time. Paid delivery service is also available with variable charges depending on distance. The service is also available to guests staying at Lotte Hotel Seoul. Menus are provided in the rooms, and guests can conveniently order by phone, with room service delivering the orders.
