IRD (In-Room Dining)

Hotel room-service food and beverage delivery.

Definition

IRD is the hotel sub-outlet that serves food in guest rooms. It is high-margin but capacity-constrained, with attach-rate (orders per occupied room) as the key efficiency metric. Falling IRD attach is a leading indicator of buffet cannibalisation or menu fatigue.
