Our second annual Mother's Day Brunch buffet went well! This year we had reservations every half hour instead of every hour. The "build your own breakfast burrito" bar was a hit! Moms received a rose and a complimentary drink at the bar, and the bar was open for purchase of other drinks (bloody marys, mimosas, screwdrivers, and other breakfast and non-breakfast drinks).
(FYI, our public events must be prepaid because of zoning [someone asked why reservations had to be prepaid]. We're not permitted to operate like a restaurant - customers cannot just come in and order food. We're limited to "catered events," which includes public events to which tickets are sold in advance.)
