General Comments
The hotel is serving a breakfast that includes sausages, cooked oatmeal, and scrambled eggs. The hotel does not have a restaurant permit. This is considered illegal food vending and needs to be stopped immediately. You can only serve individually packaged foods like the breakfast sandwiches in wrappers. The customer then heats and opens the sandwich. Use oatmeal in individual packets. Fill out and submit a service request form to start the process of getting a permit for the breakfast area.
