Breakfast is served to all the occupants. At the time of check in, reception desk staff ask the customers to choose the breakfast menu option for the duration of their stay. This information will be noted in a spreadsheet. At 6.00 am every day, a printed copy of this spreadsheet will be given to the kitchen staff.The current business is using a simple informative website, a workstation, five desktops, three laptops and two network printers that are all connected using a small local area network (LAN) in the reception office.
