I did come across one place doing this that had a sign up saying strictly no fish. enquiring why, I was told that a couple of guys had taken a fishing trip at the local lake and caught a trout, which they decided to eat fresh by putting it in the microwave. This stunk the guest house out for a couple of weeks and caused quite a few complaints.

Having spent some years using various forms of accomodation on my travels with my family, I have noticed that the places that supply microwave ovens for their guests appear to have hit upon a popular crowd pleaser. Microwaves are not the reason that guests come to your guest house but they can be a good marketing ploy for people with families.

1; It was when my wife and I had kids that we really noticed that a place with a microwave was a distinct advantage. Having baby formula to heat when your away is sometimes difficult and takes some preparation in advance. We have resorted to taking a flask and keeping it filled with hot water. This is not only a time consuming practise, but if one of you forgets to fill the flask can lead to the most ridiculous of arguments. We stopped at a place that had a basic communial microwave in the sun lounge and realised what a great idea this was, and we even commented to the hotels owner how much easier it was for us with our two young kids. The microwaves provide though are not always the same as peoples home microwave ovens so a cautionary notice should be placed above the microwave to make sure that guests check the product that they have cooked in the microwave before serving it. This is not only great for babies formula, but for jars or tins of baby food.

2; Having bags of microwave popcorn for sale can not only be a great money spinner but also help to pay for the cost of your microwave and if your lucky make you a great profit. We visited a place where they were very family orientated and had three microwave ovens in the childrens area with popcorn for sale at above normal shop prices. As i was running a bar at the time i asked the owner if there was any profit in selling the popcorn and he told me that he had covered the cost of the first microwave in two weeks and thus added two more. He also held little competitions for the kids every evening giving away a bag of popcorn and had noticed that this always set the ball rolling. He ad a notice above the microwave ovens stating that they were to be used by adults only and the cooking time for the popcorn was three minutes. This timing notice was added after somebody had nearly set fire to the place by blasting the popcorn for about ten minutes. The guy also had an extraction hood over the microwaves to take away the smell, as some people had complained that it was penetrating there rooms.

3; Providing hot beverages, in the rooms, has long been a part of the innkeepers trade, so I was fascinated to find a place that had a selection of teas,coffees and hot chocolate in the lounge next to a microwave oven with prices for each product and and heating times. The owner said that the drinks were very popular especially with older guests in the evenins as they were relaxing watching T.V. and took the pressure off him and his staff.

4; Pizza slices in a fridge is another great way to get a little more from your guests, especially if you run a place for guys who work away from home. I did come across one place doing this that had a sign up saying strictly no fish. enquiring why, I was told that a couple of guys had taken a fishing trip at the local lake and caught a trout, which they decided to eat fresh by putting it in the microwave.

Providing a microwave for these people to heat the foods they have brought with them can lead to greater room occupancy. You do have to be little flexible and hope that they dont stink your place out though.
