Why Hotels Are Turning to Automated Soft Serve Machines

Hotels and Resorts — A New Guest Experience That Pays for Itself

Hotels and resorts are constantly searching for new ways to elevate the guest experience while keeping staffing and operational costs under control. With travelers expecting more convenience, more amenities, and more memorable moments, hospitality operators are now turning to automation. That’s exactly why Zwirly — the automated dessert machine for hotels — is becoming a must-have amenity for properties that want to delight guests and increase F&B margins without adding labor.

A Sweet Upgrade Guests Will Never Forget

In hospitality, every detail matters. Guests remember small, joyful moments — like walking through the lobby and grabbing a fresh swirl of soft serve with their kids, or treating themselves to dessert after a late check-in.

That’s exactly what Zwirly delivers — a fully automated, self-serve ice cream experience for resorts and hotels that operates 24/7 with zero staffing needed.
