Restaurant & Hotel Floral Programs: How They Work and What They Cost TL;DR: A standing floral program keeps your lobby, host stand, or dining room looking consistently cared for without anyone on your team having to think about it. We handle the design, the delivery, and the swap-outs — you just enjoy walking past fresh flowers every week. Ready to get investigate our services? If you reach out we can set up a time to speak or come over to see your property. As everything is custom it's really help to take 15 minutes and see your site. If you are ready for a quote? Send us your location, how often you'd like service (weekly or biweekly is most common), and roughly how many spots need flowers — host stand, bar, restrooms, private dining tables, guest room lobbies, wherever. We'll put together a proposal from there. email: orders@acmefloral.com / 415-637-6271 ------------ Why Hospitality Businesses Invest in Ongoing Florals A one-time floral order makes an impression once. A standing program makes an impression every single time a guest walks in — and for restaurants and hotels, that repeated impression is part of the brand experience, not an afterthought. Guests notice tired or wilting flowers faster than they notice fresh ones; a program that never lets that happen quietly signals that the whole operation is well run. For hotels specifically, lobby and public-space florals also show up constantly in guest photos and social posts, which makes them a small, ongoing form of marketing that most properties underuse. How a Recurring Program Actually Works Most of our hospitality clients land on one of two rhythms: Weekly service — Best for high-traffic lobbies, host stands, or restaurants where flowers wilt faster due to lighting or foot traffic near the arrangement. Biweekly service — Works well for lower-traffic spots, private dining rooms used a few times a week, or budget-conscious properties that still want a consistent presence. On each visit, we swap out spent arrangements, refresh water and mechanics on any standing vessels, and rotate seasonal flowers so the look evolves through the year rather than looking identical in July and December. We handle delivery timing around your service hours, so install never collides with a lunch rush or a check-in surge. What a Program Typically Includes Design consultation to match your existing brand, color palette, and interior style A recurring delivery schedule built around your slowest hours Standing vessels we maintain (so you're not storing or cleaning containers between visits) Seasonal rotation so the look shifts naturally through the year A single point of contact for adjustments — no re-briefing a new florist every visit What It Costs Pricing depends on number of locations within a property, number of arrangements per visit, and frequency, but as a general guide for San Francisco: Single host stand or lobby arrangement: roughly $75–$150 per visit Full lobby program (multiple arrangements, larger hotel entry): typically $300–$800 per visit Restaurant program (host stand, bar, private dining tables): usually $150–$400 per visit depending on table count Multi-location hospitality groups: custom pricing, generally with a modest per-location discount for consolidated billing and scheduling Most properties find that a program costs less per month than they expect, since it replaces the higher per-stem cost of one-off orders with a predictable, planned schedule. Questions We Ask Before Building a Proposal What are your slowest hours for delivery and install? Do you want the same look week to week, or seasonal variation? Are there existing vessels or containers you'd like us to work with, or should we provide them? Is this for one location or multiple properties under the same brand? Who signs off on design changes — one point of contact, or a rotating team? Why Restaurants and Hotels Work With Us Specifically We've built recurring programs across both restaurant and hotel settings in San Francisco, which means we already understand the operational side most florists don't think about — how to move through a service kitchen without being in the way, how to time a lobby refresh around a conference check-in wave, and how to keep a look consistent even as our own team rotates who's on delivery that week. A program should be one less thing on your plate, not one more vendor relationship to manage closely. That's the standard we hold ourselves to. Send us your location, service frequency, and where you're picturing flowers, and we'll put together a proposal — no pressure, and easy to adjust as we learn what works best for your space.
