Hotel Breakfast

Hotel breakfast is one of the most mattering services that a hotel offers. As it is normally involved in the room price, it can clearly become a starting point of satisfaction or not, for all the hotel's guests. Even if a rich breakfast is not in your daily cycle. Whenever you find yourself in a hotel- either for buisness or delectation, the breakfast time is the most refreshing moment of the day, giving you the energy you require and tempting to try delicious tastes that will really make your day.

But which are the core points on which you should pay attention to and that can make breakfast the competitive assets for your hotel, enhancing your ratings and reviews?

Make sure you use labels

A very common blunder in a hotel breakfast buffet is the lack of labels. Even if the hoteliers or the F&B managers feel satisfied that they have built the perfect breakfast menu, they often miss to adequately inform the guests on what each plate is, creating misunderstandings about what the guest has actually picked. A position like this is bad for both the hotel (since you are wasting a remarkable amount of ingredients) and the guests since they end up not enjoying their breakfast as they had hoped for. In order to evade this, make sure that you use adequate labels for all items in your buffet, describing what each plate is and what are its ingredients.

Guide your Guests

Many hoteliers are very proud of the huge variety they offer through their breakfast menu. But this can be a problem for the guests, who have struggles in deciding what to pick among all those choices or end up making some bad taste combinations. If you are presenting a high-end and extensive breakfast, it is essential to work hard on the overall arrangement of your buffet, guiding & helping the guests to pick the right things that will make them relish their breakfast in the best possible way. Don’t forget that a satisfied breakfast guest, is far more likely to come back later to strive for your other hotel restaurants!

Present the local cuisine through Traditional Breakfast

When touring a new destination, one thing is for sure: travellers want to experience the most of it, no matter if they’re travelling for business or leisure. Even if a standard continental breakfast is a simplest and safest way to go because it covers the majority of the guests’ desires, traditional local recipes are eternally well received and many times enhance the ‘best sellers’ of the breakfast buffet. Guests turn excited when they have the opportunity to try different tastes and live even for a while like a local, diving in the culture and habits of the destination. Using local products provide also a sense of luxury, as it hints high quality, while at the same time symbolises that you equally care for your guests’ experience and the support of your local community.

Offer Low calories Breakfast

Spending multiple days at a hotel can secure some extra pounds for your guests, particularly if what you are giving at breakfast is so delicious and rich. But high-quality doesn’t certainly mean ‘things that will make you fat’. Invest in curating a selection of dishes with low calories, enabling those guests who wish to take a break from the daily ‘eggs & bacon’ option, to do so in the better clever and inspired way. Make sure to stick to the ‘mouthwatering’ way of exhibiting your low-calories dishes, ensuring that you will protect the excitement of your guests and not make them feel that they choose ‘healthy’ over taste!

Create a Breakfast Ambience

It is very normal to offer breakfast at the same restaurant where your guests will later come to enjoy their lunch or dinner. Especially, for this reason, it is significant to creating a distinct “Breakfast Ambience” in the morning, that will help the guests start their day in a peaceful and in an energetic way. Pick the best music for the morning, use some specific plates or equipment and highlight the happy, colourful and joyful breakfast mood. Try to impersonate everything differently, even products that are served while breakfast and dinner as well. Ask your Architect or Interior designer to come up with clever set-ups for the breakfast time, that will help you quickly create the atmosphere you wish to offer to your guests a unique experience, definitely different than their lunch or dinner at the same venue.
