Hello everyone, hope you are all having a brilliant Sunday. I had previously told you about changes to our room service offerings that would go into effect in January. I wanted to let you know that we are in the process of making some adjustments to that plan to balance the interests of our guests with our efforts to reduce food waste costs. For the time being then, there will be no changes until we finalise a plan that will I will communicate to you all.
