Why it matters

Guests cooking breakfast or coffee don't want to buy full containers for a weekend.

Labelled condiments reduce grocery runs for short stays.

How to implement it

  • Store condiments in airtight jars with portioned spoons.
  • Note refill dates on the underside of containers to maintain freshness.
  • Include a short allergen disclaimer in your guidebook.

Checklist

  • Top off salt, pepper, and sugar jars

FAQ

How do I keep condiments sanitary between guests?

Use airtight jars with small spoons or pour spouts, and wipe the lids plus refill only from bulk containers you control.

Should I provide single-use packets instead?

Packets are convenient but create waste—many hosts offer jars plus a few sealed backups for guests with allergy concerns.
