Optimise your breakfast buffet with Banquet d’Or®

Fun for young and old with a family-friendly breakfast.

The most important meal of the day? For your guests and your hotel, that’s breakfast, of course. After all, eight out of ten guests base their hotel experience on the breakfast. All the more reason for you, as a hotel operator, to focus on this. With small, clever changes, you can boost satisfaction, reviews and bookings. Vandemoortele has perfected its Banquet d’Or® breakfast concept to effortlessly take your breakfast buffet to the next level.

By introducing specific family-friendly facilities, you can easily optimise your returns. Reports indicate that hotels which do this generate an average of twelve per cent more revenue. A smart segment to actively target.

Family breakfast buffet

Every parent's dream? Enjoying a cup of coffee in peace. Investing in entertainment or a creative activity for children pays off, and as a hotelier, you'll instantly win the hearts and loyalty of the adults too. With a few playful, accessible ideas, you can turn your buffet into a family favourite. For example, set up a child-friendly buffet zone with lower counters, cheerful colours, and bite-sized portions. Presenting food in fun shapes is also a hit with youngsters. Keep parents happy with healthy options such as banana sushi, fruit fries, or breakfast cones.

Playful challenges like ‘Make your own breakfast buddy’ make it fun for everyone. Be sure to include visual examples of pancake faces, bagel bears, or sandwich bunnies. With topping stations for waffles, pancakes, or croissants, you're sure to score with children. Reward the youngest chefs with stickers like ‘Breakfast Boss’ or ‘Mini-Chef’: they’ll love them and you’ll instantly create little ambassadors.

Mini bites, maxi experience

What do you do with guests who want to try absolutely everything? With the colourful breakfast skewer featuring mini viennoiseries from Banquet d’Or®, you maximise choice and taste pleasure. It makes eating fun not only for children but also for their parents. The traditional Banquet d’Or® minis (croissant, pain au chocolat, and Swiss roll) are therefore a must-have for every hotel breakfast. You can find even more tips on the Vandemoortele website to make your breakfast offerings a success.
