Butler Hospitality Plans Nationwide Rollout

Butler Hospitality, a ghost kitchen network for hotels, plans a nationwide expansion for 2021. Now serving more than 40,000 keys in New York, Chicago, Miami, and Washington, DC, Midtown Manhattan-based Butler will serve more than 200,000 keys from more than 50 hotel restaurants in 10 U.S. markets by January 2022.

“Our value proposition is clearest to hotels in central business districts with three-meal-a-day restaurants serving at least 100 keys,” said Butler VP of acquisitions Sarve Eshtehardi. “Guests book at these hotels because they have an expectation of food and beverage service. But staffing a restaurant diminishes profits, especially during times of low occupancy. Butler assumes this liability and continues to meet the guest expectation.”

Currently focused on the eastern half of the United States, Butler will serve hotel partners coast to coast by mid-year. Immediate expansion plans include Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and multiple markets in between.
