This post is for the foodies. You will not make money serving evening meal.
Monday to Thursday you will have business men, people on courses, workmen and my be the odd couple.
Workers in general do not share rooms so you will probably just have 5 people may be 6 if you have a couple staying; they will stay form  Monday to Thursday and go home Friday evening after they have finished work.
Business men unless they are on full expenses will not have an evening meal every day.
Workers, shop fitters ect,  go out and have a bag of chips and a pint and keep the rest of any food expenses.
People who may be on a course sent from their place of work tend to have a meal and ladies on there own also tend to have an evening meal. Tourists more often than not tour and eat out.
When weekend comes around most people have come for an event and do not hang around for dinner, their out on the town.
So this is what can happen more often than not, out of the five two will want an evening meal. You will need to prep the food you plan to serve and it’s commonsense for you to have the same for your evening meal.
Set the dinner table for the guests say for 6.30 to 7pm.
Produce a starter for the guests and serve it, chat, chat.
While there eating you will be preparing the main course; serve the main course, chat, chat.
Pudding next, chat, chat, coffee chat chat.
Wait until they have left the dinning room, clear the table, wash the dishes, and reset the table for breakfast.
Good night it’s 10.30pm.
So how much will you charge for that, don’t forget to allow for the gas and electric.
A few tips in my next post that will  minimize the pain if you think you must give it a go.
