For those who have never been to the Marquis, there are usually 4 countertops in use for the CL at the Marquis. The far one contains coffee, tea, and a refrigerator for cold drinks. The counter across from that has two hot plates and a large cold plate. Then there are two additional counter tops: one with another two hot plates and another cold plate, and then one, closest to the entrance, used to just hold room temperature items.

For the past year, the lounge always used all 4 countertops and contained:
coffee, tea, soda, water
4 different hot options
2-3 cold options (salad, pita & hummus etc)
Fresh mozzerella and tomato with Garlic Crostini
Fruit
selection of rolls, crackers, cheese and meats.

Last night:
coffee, tea, soda, water
1 hot item on two different hot plates
crackers and 2 large Blocks of Cheese

Two of the countertops were not in use for items, and the honor bar was set up on one of them instead of being on a separate cart

Just a report, but there is definitely cost cutting in progress at the lounges.
