I suppose a policy would be necessary if people need to have it spelled out to them to that degree. Hotel breakfasts are rarely haute cuisine but I've yet to see one where a diner couldn't find acceptable sustenance. If those with refined tastes can't tolerate anything less than artisanal sausage, organic bread and free-range eggs benedict they should pay for it themselves.

If breakfast is included in my room I wouldn't submit an expense for one eaten elsewhere. I wouldn't approve such an expense unless it was a client meeting or there were other extenuating circumstances beyond someone being a fussy eater.
