For the customer, breakfast can be expensive if they bought it from outside. I can imagine $50 for a filling breakfast for a family of 4. This is just good bundling.
Sadly, I can't comment on the article due to my incompentence at bypassing paywalls. That said, I'm a bit bewildered at the title. My perception of the value on most breakfast buffets is ridiculously low.
Unless I'm traveling with the whole family. Then the walk up service as everyone is getting ready is the main value point.
So, I presume that is the point they underline? It isn't just that it is saving some money on food. It is the value of having a place in building to get food as you settle in.
Thanks, this does seem to acknowledge that families like the buffet a lot. That said, I think it indexes a bit too heavily on the waffle maker. Which, I can kind of understand? My kids certainly loved that thing. They also loved the "watch a pancake traverse through the machine" automation thing. (Really, I think they just love the permission to make things that we all agree take syrup.)
Even in the adults that love these, a big part of why I would use the buffet versus going somewhere else would be the ridiculous amount of time I would save in doing so. Such that I find it odd not to weigh that in the discussion.
