- Convenience: “There’s nothing better than a burger in bed,” said Applebee’s VP, highlighting the appeal of late-night comfort food delivered straight to hotel rooms.
- Seamless integration: Orders are placed via the Wyndham app, tying dining directly into the hotel stay experience.

Strategic Angle
- For Wyndham: Expands its loyalty program into everyday lifestyle benefits, not just hotel nights.
