In an increasingly competitive hospitality market, standing out is no longer enough. Successful hotels find smart ways to generate additional revenue while delivering a memorable guest experience. Local artisan gourmet products and gift boxes have become one of these levers: discreet, elegant, and profitable.
What few hoteliers realize at first: our offering goes beyond gift boxes. It also includes individual gourmet products branded with your hotel's identity. A jar of maple nuts with your logo, a beautiful glass jar of the finest artisan popcorn in your colours, chocolates offered under your brand. These white-label products are sold, enjoyed, and brought home. Your brand travels with your guests.
Since 2013, Gourmet Gift has been working with renowned hotels in Quebec and Ontario. Here are the five ways our hotel partners turn this into profit.
🛌 1. The Minibar & Turndown Service: A Local Experience in the Room
The traditional minibar is generating less and less revenue. Guests are turning away from generic, overpriced products. A minibar stocked with local artisan products — chocolates, nut mixes, candies — tells a story. And guests are happy to pay for that.
Turndown service is another golden opportunity: a small gourmet treat left on the pillow transforms an ordinary gesture into a moment of delight. Imagine two beautifully crafted maple fudge pieces or a few chocolate pearls. And when the product carries your hotel's logo, the impact is doubled.
Our role
To delight you — and through you, your guests.
🏪 2. The Hotel Boutique: Profit on Every Sale, Zero Management
A well-stocked lobby boutique is a passive revenue generator. The challenge: finding the right products, managing inventory, and refreshing the selection with the seasons. That's precisely what we do for our hotel partners.
Our offering covers two complementary levels: individual gourmet products (artisan jam, chocolates, local hot sauce) and custom-composed gift boxes. Both can be offered under your brand, in your packaging, with your logo.
✨ White-Label Advantage
Every product sold reinforces your brand image. Guests leave with a bag of chocolate-covered almonds bearing your name and share it with those around them. Your brand travels with them.
🥂 3. Banquets & Events: Added Value That Can Be Invoiced
Weddings, galas, corporate meetings, conferences: events are an ideal opportunity to incorporate local gourmet products and gift boxes. Whether as a table favour (an individual product branded with the hotel or company), a parting gift for attendees, or a welcome box for keynote speakers, every detail matters, and can be billed to the organizer.
We Handle Everything From Start to Finish
Product selection, customization, packaging, on-time delivery for the event. Our hotel partners integrate our products and boxes into their events offering and invoice them directly to organizers. The result: an additional revenue line on every event, with no extra logistics.
🏆 4. VIP Gifts & Amenities: Effortless Loyalty
Thanking a loyal guest, marking the anniversary of a stay, welcoming a VIP group: these moments deserve special attention. Depending on the context, this could be a unique artisan product carefully wrapped in your colours, or a custom-composed gourmet box. In both cases, the impression is infinitely more memorable than a generic bottle of wine. We can even deliver directly to your best guests at home.
Our products and boxes can be ordered individually or in large quantities, with fast delivery turnaround. Some of our partners keep a small stock on hand for last-minute situations.
Measurable Impact
Guests who receive a personalized gourmet treat are more likely to leave a positive review and return more frequently.
🏷️ 5. White Label: Your Products, Your Image, Our Expertise
This is often the discovery that surprises our new partners most: it is possible to offer artisan Canadian products under your own brand. Your logo on the jar of artisan candies. Your colours on the packaging of plantain chips. Your name embossed on a gift box.
This option is available for both individual products and composed gift boxes. It turns every product sold into an ambassador for your hotel: guests bring these products home, share them with friends and family, and your brand travels with them.
Available from Small Quantities
Depending on the product, white labelling is accessible without high minimums. Contact us to learn about the options available for your property.
