we are sometimes asked if we would make up a flask though I have never understood why as they have a kettle, coffee, tea and milk in their room and could easily make it up themselves. Whatever.I sometimes ask if they would like a coffee to go. Have not made another pot to do it that I can remember. What keeps the offer from being a regular item is the cost of the To-Go cups - those babies ain't cheap! I do get the larger cup size because if I am going to give them coffee, it is going to be a decent cuppa. It is usually my early departs that get asked if they want a cup to-go. I usually ask if they want a "care package of muffins" in my attempt to get those suckers OUT of here. The usuall answer is yes (they love getting something extra and I would just throw it out anyway - saddlebags are already over-sized)..

Exactly. A cup of joe from the Keurig is no big deal (actually, I have a huge coffee jones, so the idea of any coffee going to waste here is a joke), but the cups...I'd need to purchase enough to bring the price per significantly down, then I'd need a place to store them where the guests might not "stumble upon" them and decide to use them for coffee in their rooms, on the porch....etc.gillumhouse said:What keeps the offer from being a regular item is the cost of the To-Go cups - those babies ain't cheap!
I had the "to go" cups with lids right on the dining room buffet with the regular cups, teas, other hot beverages, etc. and people never took a bunch of them or used them throughout the rooms. I also had "to go" cups in the rooms that had coffee pots - same deal. So, it was very little expense and I'd pick them up when they were on sale. I think most people preferred to drink their coffee from something other than cardboard or styrofoam. We bought premium coffee and ground our beans.I sometimes ask if they would like a coffee to go.

YES! I get the 16 oz insulated cups (12% recycled fiber for those intereseted in "GREEN") with lids in a 24 pack at the office supply. I have very little storage space - it was not needed in 1912. With everything else we provide for free, it is not the cost of the coffee I will make coffee anytime (I drink coffee also and WILL drink whatever is there until it is gone ie when I make a 24-cup pot), but I remember being shocked at the price of the cups - don't remember what it was now, but it was HUH? when I saw it. Whatever I "give" to the guests I have to pay for, spend gas & time to get, and store. They expect bottles of water, some of you do cookies & treats and I do baskets with bananas & apples and sometimes pretzels, these are things a hotel would not consider. Yes, I know we are the better value - that is why we are struggling to make ends meet and fighting for guests with our marketing - WE GIVE!!!Red Handed Jill said:Exactly.
