Hotel living – a dream come true for many people! But what would a good hotel be without top-notch food and beverage service? We take a look at the advantages and how to create one that ‘s just right for you.

1. For your customers

For many people, staying in a hotel is synonymous with absolute relaxation. And relaxation means no worries about laundry, cleaning or meals. So the first benefit for your guests is to relax as much as possible. With breakfast on site and the possibility of returning late in the evening, after exploring the surrounding area, and getting your feet under the table before heading back up to your room, the stay becomes magical! Offering a catering service in the evening is also one less thing for your guests to worry about: no need to spend money, it’s all on the bill, no need to look for a restaurant on the other side of town, the chance to rest a little more… Finally, it’s an added pleasure for them! Not only do they get to enjoy a few nights at your place, but you also get to offer them the best your culinary territory has to offer – what more could you ask for?

2. For you

The advantages for hotels of having an efficient and tasty catering service are many:
– You get more visibility: on networks for example
– You earn more money because your customers buy from you
– Customers can come to your hotel for a meal and discover your hotel and stay there.
Last but not least, there’s the advantage of reputation: if you’ve got a nose for good food and find a talented chef, your hotel is bound to win! Le Meurice with chef Alain DucasseEric Fréchon at Bristol or even La Rotonde with chef Aurélien Largeau.
Of course, you don’t have to start with a top chef right away, but you can be sure that good food will be the talk of the town!

3. Where to start

First, ask yourself a few simple questions:
– What is my target audience?
– What do I want to offer: breakfast, lunch, dinner?
– How do you choose? In the bedroom and the lounge, or just one of them?
– What type of cuisine? Local or international?
Once you’ve got these answers, start looking for a chef and a brigade. This search will depend on the type of cuisine you’re looking for. If your customers are looking forauthenticity, go for seasonal and local cuisine. If you have lots of children and families, go for something international.
You can even offer several menus! For example, an“on the go” menu at lunchtime, and a more gastronomic, regional menu in the evening. In this way, you can satisfy the needs of your resident customers as well as those from out of town.
