Holiday Brunches Set New Records!

From year one, Our Daily Bread has tried to make the most of holiday celebrations. The first year we tried to do something for EVERY holiday on the calender. After three years, we are finally to the point that our more popular holiday celebrations have a consistent followings and we've been able to eliminated the less popular ones.

Holidays that we have an exceptionally good turnout for include . . .
*Mother's Day Brunch
*Easter Brunch
*Our Annual Anniversary Events
*Valentine's Day Dinner
*Christmas Teas
*Holiday Takeout Meals

Holidays on which we have eliminated special menus/hours include . . .
*New Year's Eve Dinner
*Cinco de Mayo
*Memorial Day
*Labor Day
*4th of July

Holiday's that get one more year to make the team and avoid being cut . . .
*Father's Day
*Easter Dinner
*Mother's Day Dinner

This year's holiday day celebrations of note are our Easter and Mother's Day Brunch Buffets! Easter surpassed all exceptions when we pasted 250 and did 274 for the first time. Mother's Day is the biggest grossing holiday of the year for most restaurants. Ours is no exception. While we know Mother's Day we be just a bit more, we were not prepared for the actuality of doing 350 for Mother's Day Brunch! It was a beautiful day, so outside seating was available. While the dining room may have had empty tables at times, if the weather had not been quite so nice, we would have not had an empty table in the house for five hours! I believe the only way to increase numbers from this point on is to expand our hours yet again. This year we opened an hour earlier at 9am. Next year's brunch may run until 3pm.

I will post a few pictures in the next few days, but just know that the buffets were beautiful. Our regular Sunday Brunch buffets are a delightful treat, but we truly pull out all the stops for these larger Holiday Brunch Buffets. Displays include three-tiered ice bowls, cascading fruit displays and chocolate fondue, an omelet station, a staffed carving station, and more.
