I hope this email finds you well.
I have just spent a couple of days at Sala Ayutthaya and whilst I was there I discussed with the team the breakfast bakery basket as you mentioned., we were all in agreement with your point that there is a great deal of spoilage with the current way that we serve it and I asked for suggestions from Chef Tee and Khun Jae as to how best they think the best way we could serve our bread/bakery to avoid such wastage.
We would like to suggest that we stop sending the bakery/bread basket out of the kitchen to the guests and create a little bakery section on the buffet line that we currently have, by doing this we would be giving the guests a choice as to whether they would like to eat any bread/basket.
If we go ahead with the bread on the buffet line then we would have to purchase a rotating toaster, some nice bakery baskets, we would offer 2 different breads, white and whole wheat and also freshly baked croissants and chocolate rolls (Pain au chocolat), a selection of 4 jams with butter.
I discussed with team the idea of our morning service staff going around to every table with a bakery basket for the guests to choose but the general opinion is that it would put too much pressure on the team as there is normally only 3 -4 staff covering the breakfast shift and it would take 1 staff away from their other duties.
If you could let me know what you think of the above ideas I will advise the team at Sala Ayutthaya accordingly.
