But, for example, changing a chefs table at lunch to finger sandwiches at lunch doesn't reflect a cut back to meet Marriott standards. Marriott standards don't require lunch at all.

When hotels open or are trying to drive business, they seek to exceed standards. When they are busy, the dial back to standards.
