How to Write a Bed and Breakfast Menu

A winning bed and breakfast menu lures guests into believing that every morning they spend there is like a leisurely Saturday morning. Be sure to insert pictures of the establishment along with photographs of the food actually prepared there. Assume that bed and breakfast guests long for substantial breakfasts they don't normally indulge in. Read on to learn how to write a bed and breakfast menu.

Instructions

1. Separate the menu into categories such as baked goods, beverages, eggs and grilled items. Separate each category and its individual items under descriptive titles.

2. Introduce guests to the menu with an attention-grabbing sales pitch. Emphasize that the bed and breakfast kitchen uses freshly grown ingredients purchased from local producers. State whether the kitchen bakes breads and sweets on premises.

3. Expect that most guests eat eggs for breakfast. Offer standard egg platters along with gourmet omelets stuffed with a wide variety of fillings.

4. Emphasize how the establishment buys and prepares its coffee. For example, identify what kind of coffee beans the kitchen purchases and if the staff grind the beans daily or right before brewing each pot.

5. Suggest menus for those seeking light or healthy portions. Choose menu items fitting into each category to help guests choose from those categories.

6. Go all out in offering the widest variety possible of baked goods. Assume that guests expect muffins, croissants, sweet breads, scones and biscuits. Offer many kinds of homemade breads from European baguettes to artisan loaves.

7. Add one descriptive sentence after each menu item that describes it in detail. For example, state that the kitchen's home fried potatoes contain "a melt in your mouth center surrounded by a deliciously crisp golden brown coating."
