Hollandaise
HOLLANDAISEINGREDIENTS:
Yield: 20 fl oz (600 ml)
4 fl oz (120 ml) water, cold
6 fl oz (180 ml) egg yolks, pasteurized
18 fl oz (560 ml) butter, clarified, warm
2 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh
¼ teaspoon salt, kosher
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
METHOD:
Place pasteurized egg yolks in a stainless steal bowl and gently whisk in the water.
Place the bowl with the egg and water mixture over a gently simmering pot of water.
Whip yolks until the yolks thicken and have a frothy consistency but are still loose.
Be careful not overheat as the eggs will scramble.
Gradually add the clarified butter into the egg and water mixture while whipping continuously.
Add the lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Store covered in a clean container at 160º F (70 Cº) for use.
See step by step guide for additional information if needed.
CRITICAL DETAILS:
Hollandaise sauce should be made in small batches every 2 hours to ensure quality.
Hollandaise is an emulsion sauce, delicately balancing lightly cooked egg yolks with clarified butter and is a key
ingredient in Eggs Benedict. Named in honor of the traditionally high quality of butter from Holland, Hollandaise sauce
should be a smooth satiny texture with a pale yellow, lemon color. When prepared correctly the sauce will coat or
“Nape” the back of a spoon and more importantly cover, coat and cling to the perfectly poached egg in your Eggs
Benedict.

Business Plan
BUSINESS PLAN PROCESS
Every year based upon the published schedule, the hotels are asked to complete the "Business Plan" for the following year. This process involves the entire Executive Committee of the hotel, and the key drivers for this process are the General Manager together with the Director of Finance and the Director of Sales & Marketing.
For this purpose an extensive worksheet has been created, which allows the hotel to not only communicate its financial goals for the following year, but also its strategy on how to achieve these goals.
Reference will be made to the "Balanced Scorecard", which consists of
- Financial Results
- Market Share / RevPar (Revenue per available room)
- Guest Satisfaction Survey Results
- Associate Opinion Survey Results
With the exception of room revenue, which includes statistics, financial results are top-line driven and are limited to the Profit & Loss Summary results only. Please ensure that your Sales & Marketing and Revenue Management Team get an early start since details are required for room revenues and the overall financial results and calculations are driven of these numbers.
Business Plan Preparation
- Room Segmentation:
Sales & Marketing and Revenue Management provide detailed room segmentation forecast through the end of the year.
- Salary & Wage Survey:
Human Resources conducts a salary and wage survey to identify any wage adjustments. (Note: Start early as this process usually takes time!)
- Year End Forecast:
Director of Finance completes a detailed forecast through the end of the year.
- Goals:
Executive team establishes overall goals.
Example:
- Financial
- Room revenue increase +3.0%
- F&B revenue increase +2.0%
- HP margin increase +2.0 points
- AOS goals
- GSS goals
- The entire team should be supporting the established goals. S&M and Revenue Mgmt might decide to establish their goals based on a detailed break down of the segmentation and statistics.
