Turn underused hotel kitchens into income producing assets.
Pellegrino replaces underperforming F&B – or activates breakfast-only kitchens – with Italian evening service and 24/7 grab & go. Zero capex, no hotel staff, revenue-share only.
€0 Capex
We fund the full kitchen equipment and setup. You pay one activation fee refunded over time when the concept continues.
No extra staff
We hire train and pay the full team on our payroll. No HR workload or headcount added to your structure.
% Profit
Earn passive profit share plus higher ADR from your guests. New food revenue with minimum operational risk for your hotel.
3-month trial
Start with a 3 month pilot and decide based on numbers. If it is not a fit we remove the kit and you return to your previous setup.
€105,000 per year generated from just 10 m² of Hotel space.
That’s €10,500 per m² per year in total value for the hotel – around 6× a prime German high-street rent and 8× the revenue per m² of a well-performing midscale room.
Value per m² on the level of Bond Street, enabled by two highly efficient formats: Pizza and Deli Market.

Item description
Investment
Pellegrino funds the full kitchen kit, installation and initial stock. The hotel only pays a refundable activation fee and a revenue share on generated sales.
Marketing
We build the Pellegrino brand on-site and online. An open, competitive concept that wins guests through product quality, not captive positioning.
Risk
Pellegrino carries the operational, staff and product risk of the concept. We handle guest complaints and protect your ratings and brand.
Staffing
We recruit, train and employ the full team on our payroll. No extra headcount, rota planning or HR complexity for the hotel.
Supply chain
We manage sourcing, ordering, logistics and stock control end-to-end. We use vetted suppliers, quality products and optimised delivery windows to minimise drop-offs.
Operations
We define SOPs, HACCP and regular quality audits. Monthly visits by our manager keep evening service under control without disrupting breakfast operations.
% Revenue Share
Revenue share aligns incentives and stabilises results across the portfolio. In low-volume hotels it keeps the outlet open and service-driven with minimal fixed F&B risk; in high-demand locations it converts strong volumes into above-market profit per sqm without extra capex or headcount.
Indirect revenue ADR +2-4%
Evening F&B boosts guest satisfaction, review scores and OTA ranking. This drives more bookings and supports a higher ADR, so the indirect room revenue uplift exceeds the direct F&B margin.
Step 1: Analysis →
We analyse each location using your data (rooms, demand mix, delivery, kitchen setup) and size the economic potential per hotel.
Step 2: Planning →
Together with your group we define a development plan and timeline, selecting the first property for the pilot.
Step 3: Pilot no lock-in →
We launch the service with no capex and no fixed term, tracking sales, margins and other KPIs – you can stop at any time.
Step 4: Fast expansion →
If results meet your targets, we sign a framework agreement and roll out the model quickly across the rest of the portfolio.
-
Pellegrino is a full F&B operator, not a fridge or vending add-on.
We run a public, competitive restaurant brand that must win guests on product quality and service, not on captive hotel traffic.
Unlike most concepts, we operate efficiently in very compact spaces and in shared kitchens: you keep breakfast, we use the same kitchen in the evening under clear HACCP rules and agreed procedures.
-
The trial is designed to give you full flexibility.
You can terminate at any time during the pilot with no penalties and no future obligations.
We simply retain the activation fee, which covers installation, logistics and removal of the kit if you decide not to continue.
-
Pick-up and delivery are an important part of the business, but we protect your hotel flow and positioning.
We use a dedicated runner and clear processes so riders and external guests interface with a defined handover point, not with your reception or guest areas.
From the guest’s perspective it feels like having a restaurant downstairs – visible and active, but operationally under control.
-
We work with detailed SOPs, HACCP procedures and standardised training for all staff.
A Pellegrino manager visits the location at least monthly to audit quality, team performance and cooperation with the hotel.
You receive KPI reporting and have the right to raise issues and request corrective actions at any time.
-
You always keep a say on who works in your property.
If a team member is not aligned with your standards, we can retrain, reassign or replace them quickly.
Your feedback goes directly to our cluster manager, who is responsible for acting on it.
-
Guest feedback linked to our service on delivery platforms and our channels sits with Pellegrino, and we manage it directly.
We actively monitor hotel reviews; if our part of the service is mentioned negatively, we intervene with service recovery and corrective measures.
If performance remains below standard, we either fix it with you or we close the outlet – we have no interest in staying if we hurt your ratings.
-
Breakfast remains fully under your control; we only operate in the evening slot.
We agree a shared layout and handover procedure so that the kitchen is clean, reset and ready every morning.
If you need part of the kitchen for your own use in the evening, we define this upfront and structure SOPs to avoid conflicts.
-
You provide access to the kitchen and lobby space, basic property data and internal alignment with your team.
We handle kit installation, staff, suppliers, processes and communication materials.
For a standard hotel, the internal workload is limited to a few coordination meetings and sign-offs.
-
A revenue-share model aligns incentives and keeps the concept viable even in lower-volume locations.
In softer hotels it allows the service to stay open and deliver ADR and guest-experience benefits without heavy fixed F&B costs.
In strong locations it converts high volumes into attractive profit per sqm for the hotel, without adding capex or headcount.
-
We normally operate under the Pellegrino brand.
This gives continuity, clear accountability and allows us to compete openly in the market instead of relying on captive guests.
Full white-label is not part of our model, but we can create a small internal selection (e.g. generic snacks, basic items) under your hotel brand alongside the Pellegrino offer.
