City Lodge Hotels has launched the Buzz App, a new mobile food and beverage ordering app that allows guests and visitors to order directly from their smartphones.
Available at all City Lodge Hotels properties across South Africa, the app offers a simple tap, pay, and collect experience that saves time, cuts queues, and makes ordering more convenient than ever.Lindiwe Sangweni-Siddo, Chief Operating Officer at City Lodge Hotels, says the launch is one of many exciting developments across the group: “As our food and beverage offering continues to grow, and several of our newly refurbished hotels introduce signature restaurants and bars, the Buzz App is a natural next step for City Lodge Hotels. It gives guests and visitors a fast, easy way to order and collect food from their phones, whether they’re staying with us, visiting for the day, or picking up a meal on the way home after work. Importantly, it works across all four of our brands, making convenience more accessible than ever.
As we like to say, ‘Life is hard. Check into easy’.”

Guests can order securely from the comfort of their room, while travelling back from meetings, or on their way home after a busy day.
