These days, there is this certain alternative place wherein you can stay at night and have a very cozy and comfortable bed to sleep after having a long drive. If you compare a hotel to this, this is a newly refurbish house with a very nice architectural design with a very good overlooking garden and waking up with a good breakfast in the morning. We all call this the bed and breakfast inn.

If you own this alternative place which already has an established system in running the place but is still looking for a more efficient service to offer to their customers, then you need to list all the obligations that you should assign to each of your employees. You need to delegate these duties correctly so you can achieve the efficiency of service that you really want to have. Here are several tips to help you run your very own bed and breakfast Lisbon inn a lot more efficient.

You should prepare breakfast for your customers. No inn owner would like their clients to wait for their breakfast when they woke up and ready to eat. It will be helpful for you if you prepare the table and the plates, spoons, forks, glasses, knives at night and cook the breakfast early in the morning so you can serve it. It will also be nice if you can ask your customers what they meal they would want for tomorrow so you could cook it for them.

While preparing breakfast, let your employees keep the entire place clean. They may start by sweeping or removing dust from the furniture. They can even decorate the different place by putting fresh flowers so that your customers could wake up with a very fresh morning.

Never have a chance to have a dirty spot in the dining area. This is a way for you to have a satisfied guest. If those early diners are through eating, you can start removing all the used utensils and directly clean the table. When you have cleaned the table, put new utensils to be used by the late diners.

Always keep clean rooms after your customers leave. After your customers leave directly clean the room by removing trash, changing the towels and toiletries, change the bed sheets and the pillowcases. This is for the next room users to have very good stay in your cozy place because it is clean.

Always keep the neatness and the cleanliness of your reception area. This is where the place you welcome your guests. With a clean one, you are already implying to them an impression that it is already an assurance that they will have an excellent stay in your beloved inn. But, you should never fail to entertain them and in making them so welcome.

If you have any free time, you may start doing other kinds of works to keep the business running like working on with the marketing, accounting, groceries, and bills. With your free time, you also have time to check and reply to the inquiries of your potential customer in the future or you can update information in your website.

Aside from contacting and making networks with you customers, you should also make a contact list to all the services that you might need in the future to maintain your inn. A time will really come where you will need the services of the electricians, appliance repairs, plumber, and many others. No inn owner would want to hold the operations of the business just because of this occasional crisis.
