Howabout for HI grab and go minimum standard is water, bottle or cup of juice, coffee, cereal or cereal bar, whole fruit or fruit cup, muffin, hard boiled eggs ? I think that is very easy to accomplish.
That is BS, all those i mentioned are grab and go, irrelevant to the breakfast area set up, and they have fridges that can store the hard boil eggs anyway.
No, what I meant is, if Hilton doesn't specify "if you're offering grab and go only" in the standards, then someone offering only hot eggs, but not hardboiled eggs, would be violating your standard.
And that's what it's complex. It needs to be at a minimum a different standard if it's grab and go completely pre-packed (no choices by the user), or grab and go individual prepacked items (choices by the user), or limited hot breakfast (probably served by one person) where they hand you the food and you take it back to your room.
It seems to me each of those needs a separate standard. And each 3 of those options must be allowed to exist, or else some hotels will simply discontinue breakfast.
I, for one, would welcome your suggestion of hard-boiled egg(s). But seemingly only a small fraction of hotel guests seem to think that hard-boiled eggs are something worthwhile. I never see a review of a hotel on a website (other than mine perhaps

) saying "I loved the fact they had hard-boiled eggs". In fact, I see lots of reviews claiming a hotel has "no eggs" when the only type of eggs they have a hard-boiled.
So if there's that little demand for it (beyond yourself and myself), how are you going to convince Hilton to put it into a standard for the completely pre-packed (no choices by the user) form of grab & go? (And that is form of grab & go which by the far the most common, at least in the highly-populated parts of California.)
In other words, I agree with you in that I wish that were the brand standard, but I don't know how we get from here to there.
