When it comes to the labor shortage in hospitality, it’s all about working smarter not harder, by using less staff to serve guests breakfast. Here’s four pointers we recommend trying:

Expect an immediate rise in guest satisfaction scores—while also alleviating staff labor—by setting up coffee stations for guests to help themselves all throughout the day.
