Another point to remember is quality of breakfast produce. Make sure that you taste everything you serve prior to making it onto guests tables. I don’t mean sample their breakfasts but make sure you cook a full breakfast for yourself and then eat it. Guests will expect fresh orange juice, good quality sausages, fresh bread both white and brown, bacon of a reasonable quality, beans and a variety of eggs. Sausages are an area where people are tempted to go very cheap and think the customer won’t notice this is a false economy they won’t say anything but they won’t come again. A lot of people struggle with costings but if you intend on doing room only or breakfast you have to know how much it is costing you to make it. Ie if there are 12 rashers of bacon in a pack and it costs a pound then it is 8.3p per rasher and so on plus oil. It is also important to remember that if they only have a rasher and an egg then it is saving you money. What you can do if you are trying something new is to try it on a few guests and say you are trying it out what do they think? People love to be consulted and have their opinion valued so feel free to experiment. I.e. We are thinking of changing sausages what do you think of this one as opposed to the old one?
