Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
2. Why do people go to a B&B, instead of a hotel? It’s a question he has often been asked. He answers it with a simple example. “A hotelkeeper buys his orange juice at the wholesalers; a B&B-owner presses his own oranges. A hotelkeeper doesn’t make time for that, a good B&B host or hostess does. That is the big difference. A great quote from: http://www.bedandbreakfast.eu/blog/innkeepers/2011/03/28/bb-critic-%E2%80%98bed-breakfasts-really-raised-the-bar-high%E2%80%99/
4. Estimated Food Cost vs Actual Food Cost also know as AP Cost (As Purchased Cost) vs EP Cost (Edible Potion Cost)
5. Calculating Food Cost Yields Yellow Holland Peppers -Price per lb./pound $3.99 -Raw cost per oz. .25 ¢ -83% Yield or usable product Calculation: 3.99 ÷ .83 = $4.81 Actual Cost of product Prepared/cut $4.81
6. Why are Yields Important? Yellow Holland Peppers Actual Cost of product Prepared $4.81 Cost per oz. .30 ¢ You need a lb./pound of cut peppers for a recipe. Pre-sliced peppers, cello pack 1 lb. = $4.49 Cost per oz. .28 ¢ This is not factoring in labor time (to prepare and cut the peppers) or a % of overall operating expenses.
7.
8. Store (private label) Brand vs Name Brand Same ingredients, many times the same manufacturer and distributor, store brands save money on packaging and marketing costs so can offer a less expensive product. Comparing food pricing can save between 6% and 12% on average
9. Market Trends When raw product goes up or down in price
11. Keep on eye on your costs The cost of peanuts went up this year considerably as an example: Skippy Peanut Butter Chunky Honey Roasted Nut; went from $3.59 up to $4.69 Say as an inn you serve Trappist Monk Jams and the import price of lingonberries doubles. The price of TM Jam went from $2.69 a jar up to $3.89. -An inn goes through 1-2 jars per week. -An extra $1.20 a week or $2.40 a week X 52 weeks -$62.40 and $124.80 per year extra on average Now that alone isn’t much, but if you factor in all the variables of all of the products (including paper goods and chemicals and cleaners), if a dozen products out of the 100+ you buy on a weekly or bi-weekly basis go up a $1 it can equal more then a thousand+ dollars per year.
16. Scrap Utilization “ Look” at the vegetable and fruit being cut up, what “scraps” are usable?

26. Pros and Cons of Types of Breakfast Service Innkeepers Choice Or Individual Table Buffet Style Or Give menu options prior to service in the morning Or Offering options the night before, as well as have guests fill out cards prior to check in, favorite foods, don't likes, allergies and intolerances.
