Choice Hotels Elevates Guest Experience with Breakfast Revamp at Country Inn

CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL relaunched its breakfast program at Comfort and Country Inn & Suites by Radisson to attract guests and distinguish its upper-midscale brands. It is piloting new items, including a breakfast bowl at select Comfort hotels and a biscuit sandwich at some Country Inn & Suites.

The company is working with Florida's Natural and General Mills to source juice and cereal to supplement its breakfast menu, Choice said in a statement.

"At Choice Hotels, we recognize that a hearty breakfast is a key part of what upper-midscale guests expect, and these upgrades, co-developed with owners, are designed to deliver more value for them and for Comfort and Country Inn & Suites guests," said Judd Wadholm, Choice's senior vice president and general manager of core brands. "As we’ve done for 85 years, we continue to invest in areas that help owners generate more revenue and attract repeat guests, working closely with them to chart that path."

Comfort’s Build Your Own Breakfast Bowl will offer scrambled eggs, potatoes, peppers, onions, bacon bits, cheddar cheese, everything bagels and Nashville Hot seasonings. Country Inn & Suites will pilot Pillsbury biscuit sandwiches, the statement said.

The company is also working with its group-purchasing organization, Entegra, to align product offerings with guest preferences and owner goals. It will use Entegra’s food supplier relationships to secure pricing on items like eggs and muffins and develop menus that balance appeal and cost.

Choice’s partnership with Entegra, launched in July 2024, resulted in an average 9 percent food cost savings through March, based on market basket comparisons. It is now bringing franchise owners into the Entegra Performance Kitchen to work with the culinary team and provide real-time feedback.

Choice opened its 69th Annual Convention on April 29 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas with a keynote by President and CEO Patrick Pacious before an audience of owners, operators, and industry partners.

Air India reducing flights after deadly crash

AIR INDIA WILL reduce international service on widebody aircraft by 15 percent through at least mid-July, according to media reports. The decision comes less than a week after the June 12 crash of an Air India airliner carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members in Ahmedabad, India, that killed 246 but left one survivor among the passengers.

The airline said the reduced service due to the safety inspection of aircraft and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have disrupted operations, resulting in 83 flight cancellations over the past six days, according to ABC News. Passengers can either reschedule their flights at no additional cost or receive a full refund.

ICE Reverses Decision to Pause Raids on Key Industries

U.S. IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS have reversed enforcement limits at hotels, farms, restaurants and food processing plants days after issuing them, following conflicting statements by President Donald Trump, according to Reuters. ICE leadership told field office heads on Monday it would withdraw last week's directive that paused raids on those businesses.

ICE officials were told a daily quota of 3,000 arrests—10 times the average last year under former President Joe Biden—would remain in effect, two former officials said in the report. ICE field office heads raised concerns they could not meet the quota without raids at the previously exempted businesses, Reuters reported, citing a source.

However, it was not clear why the directive was reversed.
