Typical breakfast?

[Anon Inn]

Similar to Cat Lady and Gillum here. Two inn rooms plus others can book a breakfast here if they choose.
I would expect a full breakfast at a bed and breakfast or inn. Years ago, I and two friends went to a B & B near a concert venue. Muffins or some kind of sweet bread, coffee and orange juice were served. We stayed and talked at the group table a l o n g time - all waiting for the main course that never came.

Yes! Happened to me, too. There was yogurt and granola. Period. Two things I did not eat at the time. I had a glass of juice for breakfast. But, yes, we sat there waiting for someone to ask us what we wanted or to bring out breakfast. Nope. It was yogurt and granola only.
Same trip, one of my friends found a green caterpillar walking around in her salad. The manager came out to explain that's what happens when everything is 100% organic. He wouldn't even bring her another salad!

On the flip side, there was 1 time in the course of 6 years when I was asked "Is this it?" after serving fresh fruit, a baked good, and waffles the size of a dinner plate with 2 pieces of bacon. The guest was a thinnish-looking woman from Sweden. I blinked at her & asked, "Would you like some eggs, too? I'd be happy to cook them if you're still hungry." She said she was just asking to "make sure". Huh what??

My first post as an aspiring innkeeper so please be gentle. We are looking at various B&Bs for sale. Every time we have visited a B&B in the past - in B&Bs all over the world - we've gotten a full breakfast - bacon and eggs, french toast quiche, etc. This latest B&B we are considering only serves muffins during the week (full breakfast on weekends). The only other B&B in town serves a full breakfast all the time.
I know some B&B s serve only muffins, but how common is that? Also, what are your thoughts about comparing the competition if they serve a full breakfast and we wouldn't.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Innspiring! I've learned a lot from the kind, thoughtful folks on the forums. Shortly after we bought our B&B, I found out that some cities and/or counties regulate B&Bs as restaurants. B&Bs subject to these regulations would be inspected by their state health department and would be required to obtain a restaurant license if they served full breakfasts. In many cases, these B&Bs choose to serve prepackaged items and continental breakfasts. I don't blame them! (Check out this description under "breakfast" for The Mermaid & The Alligator B&B: Along with a tempting assortment of muffins and cereals on our buffet, we also provide a delicious hot entrée each morning. Local health codes prevent us from extensive cooking or frying so we hope you understand we provide the most creative and sumptuous breakfast we can. If you fancy a breakfast to order, we have a number of restaurants featuring a variety of breakfast dishes, which we will be happy to recommend.)

We have 3 rooms, always serve a full, plated breakfast, always have muffins, toast or protein bars/granola bars to go (for those who prefer it). Sometimes vegetarian/gluten free options (always if requested).
We also always have fresh fruit, pastry (delivered from a local bakery, my homemade muffins, cinnamon bread or the like) yogurt parfaits, (with toppings), oatmeal...(and if all that isn't enough they are too picky!).
Longest we ever had someone stay was 7 days, and I won't serve the same thing twice!.

How do the yogurt parfaits go over? Are they covered with cling wrap or just out? Are they in an ice bath? I made them for awhile but was always throwing away food. So I generally put out yogurts in sealed cups and fruit and toppings like walnuts, coconut, raisins, choc chips, etc. Once in awhile, I'll make the parfaits for a wedding party or a holiday.
.

I always do all my other prep first and while the main entree is baking, then I make the yogurt parfaits fresh. (Fruit is always prepped the night before)
I use parfait dishes or I found a great size squatty 8oz Ball canning jar that works great - and it cute! I layer yogurt and whatever fresh fruit is in season, then top with a final layer of yogurt and fruit, garnish with fresh mint or a cinnamon puff pastry triangle or mini waffle cookie/wafer. Serve on a fruit plate with a wedge of melon, grapes or other fresh fruit Usually they are out 15-20 min tops before guest are at the table! Rarely does anyone turn them down!!! And guests always rave about the flavor of the "Greek Gods Vanilla Honey Yogurt" too!

I set out Granola, Toasted Wheat Germ or Toasted Coconut for the guests to select a topping.

At the NE inn we did yogurt parfaits in our breakfast buffet. We did them in antique glass ice cream sundaes dishes on a silver tray so the guests could see the layers and what kinds of fruit were involved. We made the granola ourselves so the parfaits are gluten free. We would put out some of them at a time while the rest stay fresh in the fridge which made it easy to replace them at the buffet. The ones in the fridge had cling wrap but was removed when they went out to the dining room. We made enough for every lady staying as men were less likely to choose them. They were easy to whip up if we needed more.

makes sense. thanks!

Using canning jars is neat as they have covers in case they have to sit!
I'm using yogurt jars now. Oui is the name of the yogurt. Cute glass jar, I've cleaned them up, removed the labels, good to go.
Parfaits, Panna Cotta, pudding.

Chia pudding, rice pudding, flax seed pudding and tapioca pudding... all delightful with breakfast as a change from yogourt.

Depends also what they charge and what you intend to charge - high end sorry would not put up with just muffins.

And marketing. If you are going muffins and coffee, make sure you stress "Continental". Put pictures of muffins on the website and a line saying something like, "Serving our freshly baked muffins and brewed coffee every morning."

I did parfaits for a while and have quit. They look nice as presented, but soon turn to ... glop, and I found most were only 1/2 to 3/4 eaten, so not super important to our crowd. While I was serving them, I got nice parfait/cocktail glasses (Libby) because my first attempt was using margarita glasses (large flat bowl on tall stem); I was serving these to a patrician couple: a gentleman who was grumbling about being forced to retire as a judge because he was older than 75, and by his own account, he was considered a hanging judge, and his beautiful and beautifully dressed slightly younger wife. I made gorgeous parfaits for this upper crust customer and proudly brought them to the table on my breakfast tray. The top heavy glasses tipped and dashed across the couple's table, missing them, but hitting the wall. So much for being a classy B&B. They were characteristically un-flapped and calmly brushed off my apology. Oof.

I quit using the margarita glasses for parfaits because it was too expensive! But, if I make a trifle I use them because it's mostly cake.
