01 / THE OPERATING REALITY
Your business has
its own moving parts.
Hotels, boutique properties, serviced apartments, resorts, guesthouses and short-stay accommodation operators.
01
Rooms & guest revenue
Separate room types, occupancy and rates. Include food, events and other guest services using assumptions that match the property.
02
The operating calendar
Reflect seasonality, channel commissions, housekeeping and staffing. Connect variable expenses to occupied rooms or guest activity.
03
Investment & reserves
Plan refurbishment, opening costs, equipment and replacement expenditure. Test cash requirements during renovation and quieter trading periods.
WHAT THE FINANCIAL WORK MAKES VISIBLE
The operating detail.
The decisions it supports.
Model room availability, occupancy and rates together, then add the economics of food, events or other services. Seasonal trading and refurbishment can make annual averages misleading.
| What to track | What the model connects | What it helps you understand |
|---|---|---|
| Room revenue | Available rooms, occupied nights, average daily rate and seasonal pricing. | How occupancy and room rates combine to produce the accommodation forecast. |
| Guest and ancillary spend | Guest numbers, service uptake and food, event or other service revenue. | Which additional services contribute to the property’s operating plan. |
| Operating contribution | Booking commissions, housekeeping, utilities, staffing and property costs. | The relationship between occupied rooms, service levels and operating performance. |
| Property cash requirement | Refurbishment payments, unavailable rooms, deposits, operating cash and financing. | How investment timing and seasonal trading affect the cash reserve. |
QUESTIONS I CAN HELP YOU TEST
How would your plan change?
Choose the uncertainties that matter to your business. I can connect alternative assumptions to the forecast and explain the differences in the plan or presentation.
Rooms return to service in phases
Connect the refurbishment timetable to available room nights, investment payments and the capacity to earn revenue.
The booking mix changes
Compare direct and intermediary bookings with their commissions, rates and payment timing. See how the mix affects contribution and cash.
