RevConLab – Revolutionary Concepts Lab launches new Kukime store concept with the opening of the first Kukime Store at Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Berlin

From now on, not only hotel guests but also local residents will benefit from the fully automated 24/7 food, snack & service shop Kukime.

Berlin, September 30, 2025: The newly founded RevConLab – Revolutionary Concepts Lab GmbH, part of the HR Group, is launching Kukime, an automated retail concept with a thoughtfully developed brand strategy. Kukime stores are fully automated grab-and-go shops that will be open around the clock, featuring a modern, stylish design and a wide range of hot and cold snacks and meals, drinks, Lavazza coffee, convenience products, souvenirs, and even an ATM. “The great Kukime service offering is designed not only for our hotel guests but especially for the surrounding community – people living right next door – with a selection of high-quality, self-heating meals, snacks, and everyday essentials. And it’s available 24/7,” says Robert K. Kennedy, Managing Director Strategy at HR Group.

The fully AI-driven Kukime shop system will open its first location on September 26, 2025, at Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Berlin, with further expansion planned across Germany and Europe as either Pro Stores or Micro Stores – initially in hotels and later in other high-traffic locations. Following the Berlin launch, the first 70 sites are already in the planning pipeline. “The fully automated Kukime store concept delivers maximum innovation, and we are convinced of its potential. By automating all processes from product sourcing to payment, the entire store operation becomes scalable. This is the future,” says Ruslan Husry, CEO of HR Group.

Kukime Partner Network
Kukime relies on a strong partner ecosystem: Wundermart oversees logistics and product management, Lavazza supplies the coffee offering, SiSiSi provides steam ovens for high-quality meals that can be heated on-site, Euronet supplies ATMs, and Tabaccoland handles the tobacco product range. Patrick Dekker, Co-Founder of Wundermart and an experienced provider of automated retail solutions supporting RevConLab, is optimistic about the partnership: “Wundermart has proven that automated shop systems are the way forward – they improve the shopping experience for guests while boosting hotel revenue. It’s a win-win for hotel guests, local communities, and ultimately for hotels and Kukime operators.”

PRESS RELEASE
Kukime Pro and Micro Stores
Kukime enters the market with two formats: Pro Stores and Micro Stores. Pro Stores are designed for larger spaces of at least 35.5 m², include seating areas, and are easily accessible from the street – making them ideal for local residents. Micro Stores are compact, starting from 23 m², and perfectly suited for internal hotel locations. Both store formats feature modern, stylish design and are equipped with refrigerators and shelves stocked with food, drinks, and everyday products. Each location also includes an ATM, a tobacco vending machine, a souvenir stand, a Lavazza coffee machine, and a SiSiSi steam oven for preparing warm rice and noodle dishes or soups (with meat, vegetarian, and vegan options). “The Kukime concept is tailored to meet the daily needs of a broad target group and is therefore suitable not only for hotels but also for a variety of urban and retail locations such as shopping centers,” says Ruslan Husry, CEO of HR Group.

Braunschweig/Berlin, 26 August 2025 – After a long break, life is returning to IntercityHotel Braunschweig: on 1 September, the hotel will reopen its doors following extensive renovation work on the ground floor.

The entire team is looking forward to finally welcoming guests back to the hotel and starting the future with renewed energy. Since February, the hotel has been part of the Berlin-based Revo Hospitality Group, thus opening a new chapter in its nearly ten-year history. With its familiar fresh design, modern ambience and even stronger focus on hospitality, the IntercityHotel Braunschweig, with its 174 rooms and four modern conference rooms, will once again become a destination for business and city travellers alike.

The hotel will be managed by Raphaela Riener, who will shape the future of the hotel with her experience and passion as general manager:

‘We are delighted to be able to present the IntercityHotel Braunschweig with renewed strength following its refurbishment. Together with the entire team, we want to offer our guests a home away from home and carry the hotel’s success story into the future.’

The closure had become necessary after significant water damage on the ground floor required complete renovation. ‘We have used the past few months to completely renovate the affected areas and bring the hotel up to the latest technical standards,’ says Riener.

The IntercityHotel Braunschweig is located in the immediate vicinity of the main railway station and returns to the hotel landscape of the Lion City as a modern, reliable location.

Berlin/Basel/Thun, 1 July 2025 – Two Swiss hotels of the Revo Hospitality Group are welcoming international teams for the European Championship: as central tournament accommodation in Thun and as matchday accommodation in Basel. A special task that combines service excellence, organisational talent and genuine hospitality.

This summer, it is not only on the pitch that everything will be given its all: Away from the spotlight, hosts are also performing at their best – just like the Revo Hospitality Group. Two of its hotels – the Hotel Seepark in Thun and the Mövenpick Hotel Basel – are hosting several national teams as guests during this major international sports tournament.

While the public watches the action in the stadiums, a meticulously timed hotel operation is running in the background, combining logistics, reliability and first-class service.

“We are proud to be hosting special guests in two Swiss cities. Even when we’re not scoring goals, our teams in the kitchen, service and organisation deliver top sporting performances every day,” says Ruslan Husry, CEO of the Revo Hospitality Group.

Home base for concentration and regeneration

The Hotel Seepark in Thun – nestled between the lake and the mountains – was chosen as the home base for one of the participating women’s teams. The focus here is on tranquillity, retreat and targeted regeneration.

The Mövenpick Hotel Basel offers urban comfort and the necessary infrastructure for other teams during the tournament.

Both hotels share the philosophy of the Revo Hospitality Group: authentic hospitality, flexibility, reliability – and a deep understanding of the needs of exceptional guests.

Sport meets top service

The challenges? Special dietary requirements, daily changes to the schedule and a high demand for discretion – for the hotels in the Revo Hospitality Group, this means tried and tested processes, interdisciplinary cooperation and an extra dose of commitment.

One highlight is the cuisine: nutritional plans are tailored to performance, recovery and individual preferences in consultation with the respective teams. Fresh, regional products and the highest quality are a matter of course.

Hospitality at an international level

The Revo Hospitality Group once again demonstrates how the Swiss hotel industry delights international guests: reliable, charming, flexible – and ready for the sporty summer of 2025.

The current menu line, ‘Voyage Culinaire’, takes guests on a culinary journey across several continents – with the city always in view.

Hostess Barbara Merll, awarded ‘Berlin Hostess’ and ‘Maître of the Year’, creates the perfect atmosphere. Together with her team – sommelière Sharin Polte, Erik Schelän and Mario Fabian – she stands for professional and warm service. Guests experience relaxed hospitality at the highest level – authentic, and with attention to detail.

„Starting again after a break is always a special moment – the team is highly motivated and our guests are delighted. The fact that we have been able to defend our Michelin star again shows that we are o the right track together“ says Barbara Merll.

Skykitchen is part of the gastronomic outlets of Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Berlin, which belongs to the Revo Hospitality Group – known for innovative hospitality and high-quality cuisine.

Skykitchen’s renewed award comes in a strong year for Berlin’s top gastronomy – we warmly congratulate the newly crowned star restaurants Pars, Sawito, Matthias and Loumi on their well-deserved honour.
