We recently attended the 2007 PAII Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. If you are an Innkeeper or want to become an Innkeeper someday, you should make a point to attend these Conferences. The PAII Conferences and trade shows are not only a great opportunity to network, but they are also a source of inspiration. New products, distributors, and ideas abound. We hope to see you at the next Conference!
If you were not able to attend the most recent PAII Conference, we wanted to share our slideshow presentations with you:
Food and Alcohol Safety Issues for Innkeepers
Exit Strategies for Inns with Restaurants
Creative Electronic Marketing

Even a Bed & Breakfast Needs Food Safety Training
It is taken for granted that restaurants have to worry about food service safety, but it doesn’t stop there! Anyone serving any type or quantity of food to the general public should be concerned as well.
It never occurred to me when I owned a bed and breakfast the harm that could be done by simple procedures, such as breaking eggs into a bowl and leaving them on the counter or defrosting frozen food. However, harmful bacteria doesn’t need much time in a warm environment to grow and therefore potentially making your guest sick. Better yet, the proper sanitation of countertops and hands is equally important. We strongly encourage anyone serving food to enroll in a food service safety class, such as ServSafe. This is a nationally recognized organization which is known by all health inspectors nationally. When the health inspector is at your door and things are not going well, you will gain their respect and a few extra points for taking a food service safety class and becoming better informed. So don’t wait! Be proactive and you’ll be surprised by the information you will learn and better understand the goals of health inspectors.
Call or e-mail us and we will assist you in finding a food safety class near you. Just call 207-563-2772 or mailto:rlevitan@oatesbredfeldt.com
