Today, guests not only expect coffee shops to lavish upon them a spread consisting of sweet rolls, breads, fruit and juices, but recent demands call for many properties to expand their breakfast buffet even more to include hot items and a larger selection. And this is not enough; expectations of 'better service' and an 'eye-catching presentation' lead cafes to redesign their breakfast buffet entirely.
An increase in meeting for breakfast after a morning jog or on the way to the office for business travellers is growing in popularity. For lifestyle travellers catching up with friends for the morning newspaper is sometimes easier at this time of the day, rather than over dinner. The appeal of the buffet has always been apparent and with the larger establishments it has come into its own.
Breakfast is the beginning meal of a day and it has to be the best. If one can get the breakfast right, rest of things can fall in line easily. With the change in the consumer preferences among Indians, most properties in the country nowadays are not only offering breakfast menu, but some of them are also bringing in innovations in their breakfast menus almost every alternate day.
Chefs are putting a lot of thrust on breakfast concepts. They try to impress guests with wide variety of presentation as they believe every single day has to be different from the previous one when it comes to food and beverage offering. Thus there is a cyclic menu which is being designed after carefully watching the guest's preference and consumption pattern.
Health Factor
Guests these days have become more health conscious on an average; they do exercise, go to gym, and prefer to eat healthy, they prefer food which has less calories and more fiber. With the health consciousness and beauty consciousness being at an all time high in our society, there is a growing need not only for sumptuous breakfast but also for healthy breakfast options.
