For hotel-room coffee, a standard pack of spritz biscuits is an option if staff can portion them out themselves and store any opened pack as instructed on the packaging. Albert Heijn lists approximately 9 servings per 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo Sprits Original and 10 servings of 20 g per 200 g pack of AH Spritsen. These serving figures do not confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped. If each room needs its own wrapped biscuit, check the packaging or product specifications before ordering.
If you portion out spritz biscuits for each room or service point, you’ll also need to decide how to store an opened pack. The pack size alone doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped.
The stated number of servings can help you plan how to serve the biscuits: Albert Heijn lists approximately 9 servings per 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo Sprits Original and 10 servings per 200 g pack of AH Spritsen. You should also check how many biscuits you’ll actually serve in each room.
If you serve biscuits loose, guests must be able to get clear information about allergens. Ondernemersplein sets out this requirement for non-prepacked food in the Dutch hospitality sector. Keep the information for the exact spritz biscuit you’re serving available at the point of service.
First, decide whether each room needs an individually wrapped biscuit. Then choose a pack size that suits the way you’ll serve them, and check the storage and allergen information for each variant.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Servings and storage | Check the number of servings and whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. Also read how to store the pack once opened. | If I’m portioning out biscuits for each room, I want to be able to store an opened pack properly between servings. Manageable serving arrangements would be the main concern for around 40% of consumers. |
| Allergen information | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact product packaging, and decide how guests will be able to access this information if you serve the biscuits loose. | When guests are served loose spritz biscuits, I want to be able to answer their questions about the ingredients. Clear allergen information would be the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Range and repeat orders | Check that your preferred flavour and pack size will still be available when you reorder. | For a regular coffee service, I want to be able to keep ordering the same variant without having to change how I serve biscuits in the rooms unexpectedly. Around 30% of consumers would consider this consistency especially important. |
The 10 servings shown on a 200 g pack of AH Spritsen don’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped. This matters if your hotel wants to offer a fixed, pre-packed portion in each room.
Before ordering, check the physical packaging or ask for product specifications that explicitly confirm individual wrapping.
Serving biscuits from an opened consumer pack means extra handling for staff and somewhere to store the remaining biscuits.
Verkade Nobo Sprits Original and Melk don’t have the same ingredients. For Melk, Verkade also lists soya in the chocolate layer. According to Ondernemersplein, clear allergen information must be available to guests when food is served loose in the Dutch hospitality sector.
Keep up-to-date ingredient and allergen information for every variant you serve, and update it if the packaging changes.
Jumbo lists the specific 150 g Verkade Nobo Sprits Speculaas as no longer available in its online range. This means you may need a different variant for a regular service.
When reordering, check the exact flavour and pack size, and decide in advance which alternatives would be suitable for serving in your hotel.
Verkade provides product information for Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk. These are two variants to assess separately for your coffee service.
AH Spritsen is a consumer pack. Albert Heijn lists it as 200 g, with 10 servings of 20 g.
Jumbo has a product page for 150 g Verkade Nobo Sprits Speculaas, a specific flavour variant to consider when putting together your range.
No. The number of servings doesn’t tell you how the biscuits are packaged. Albert Heijn lists 10 servings in a 200 g pack of AH Spritsen. Check the packaging or product specifications to confirm whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.

Yes. According to Ondernemersplein, clear allergen information must be available to customers for non-prepacked food in the Dutch hospitality sector. If you serve biscuits loose, make sure staff can check the information for the variant you’re using and provide it to guests.
