Running a restaurant is hard work. Running a fine dining restaurant is even harder work.

From homemade honey, to vintage Champagne, delicate pastries and the most decadent degustation, high-end diners expect the best.

To give us an insight into how much goes into providing a five-star culinary offering, luxury hotel brand InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has revealed a breakdown of what it takes to deliver five-star service over one year, as part of the brand’s 70th anniversary celebrations.

The world-renowned restaurant & bar offering from InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is one of the best in the luxury travel industry.

Oh, and they also have nine Michelin starred restaurants across their portfolio.

So, without further ado, here is what a year of luxury dining in numbers looks like:
