Room service is a classic hallmark of hospitality — but running it efficiently is a challenge. Between labour shortages, rising food costs, and space constraints, many hotels are scaling back or cutting room service altogether.

But what if you could serve restaurant-quality meals to guests, around the clock — without needing a full kitchen, a brigade of chefs, or even dedicated kitchen staff?

The Room Service Problem

Traditional room service is costly and labour-intensive:

• It requires a full kitchen setup (extraction, prep space, storage).
• It depends on trained chefs and service staff, often during late-night hours.
• It leads to food waste due to unpredictable demand.

For many properties — especially limited-service hotels or those with compact F&B spaces — it’s simply not viable.

That’s where Nova Chef comes in.

A New Model for Room Service

Nova Chef enables hotels to offer premium, plated meals with no full kitchen and no chefs on-site. The model is simple, scalable, and built specifically for hotels facing modern operational challenges.

Here’s how it works:

1. Choose from our chef-made individual frozen meals, ranging from mains and sides to soups and desserts.
2. Store meals in your freezer — no prep, no spoilage, no stress.
3. Reheat on-demand using a Nova Chef smart oven — plug-and-play, no ventilation required.
4. Serve directly to guests, plated and hot, in under 7 minutes.

No extraction. No food waste. No late-night chef calls.
