It makes sense to focus on essentials. Don’t go on a<br />
spending spree for something that might go out of<br />
fashion - or expire.<br />
Keep a future eye on cashflow. Your bank balance might<br />
seem healthy during this peak period, but if your cash<br />
position has been poor leading up to Christmas and<br />
New Year, use the increased levels of business to get<br />
back into the black, rather than buying on promotions<br />
that could strain your cash position when business can<br />
be quiet.<br />
FOOD PRESENTATION<br />
With many new guests entering hotels during Christmas<br />
and New Year, it’s a wonderful opportunity to capture<br />
repeat business by ensuring a memorable experience.<br />
If your target audience appreciates large serves, then<br />
how you present meals makes a difference.<br />
In a nutshell, to please lovers of “quantity”, spread food<br />
over a plate, rather than stack it.<br />
This is because “consumers perceive portions as<br />
smaller… when foods are presented vertically (ie<br />
stacked on the plate) versus horizontally (ie spread<br />
across the plate),” according to food researchers<br />
patrons use the surface area of the portion as a way to<br />
compute how large the portion is. So a schnitzel cut in<br />
two and stacked would be perceived as being smaller<br />
than the same sized schnitzel left whole.<br />
As researchers Courtney Szocs and Sarah Lefebvre<br />
explain, “portions presented vertically have a smaller<br />
surface area”<br />
They cited previous research: “size perceptions is driven<br />
by the surface area of the portion being more salient<br />
than the height when individuals look down at a plate of<br />
food, as they typically do when seated at a table.”<br />
