Hotel Budget Plan: Are you Ready for 2024?

No time to lose, the next year is almost here. And a good hotel budget plan isn’t made overnight.

How far are you with your targets, budget, and plan of attack for next year? What REVPAR and GOPPAR do you need to achieve? Have you gone over what next year will look like in terms of performance, and does it describe all actions in detail? Does everyone on the team know what the objectives are and which steps to take to get there? Did you make your new hotel budget already or are you right in the middle? What methodology are you using? Are you simply adding 3% to 5% each month based on last year’s performance? Or are you really putting your teeth into it and drilling down per segment, per channel, per account, and per day?

Now is the time to take action to build your hotel budget plan! Read through our step-by-step guide explaining how to get ready for 2024 with our hotel management company´s best hotel budgeting practices.

What is a hotel budget plan and when do you start.

A hotel budget is a plan that explains how revenue will be generated and spent each month for the upcoming year to reach the goals and objectives. It also helps hotels to make sure there’s enough money every month to pay the bills and reserve money for other expenses such as investments.

In other words, the budget shows you how much money you´re going to make and can be seen as a roadmap of how next year will look like in terms of performance.

Typically, the hotel budget season starts towards the end of August with presentations to management starting the following month. However, with trends ever evolving and Covid-19 impacting booking behaviour, it is important to take factors such as booking windows, cancellations trends, increasing room rates, and inflation into account. All of these factors can heavily influence the accuracy of your hotel budget plan. In practical terms, taking an agile approach and adjusting your budget later this budget season can be beneficial for any hotel.

The budget generally doesn´t change, this is where the hotel forecast comes into play where you start comparing your budget vs. your forecast.

Should Every Hotel Create a Budget Plan?

The answer is simple: YES Simply running a hotel on intuition doesn’t cut it anymore.

Whether your hotel is a boutique property with 15 rooms, or a 400 key large scale urban hotel, it is essential to have sophisticated planning and reporting in place to maximise results.

The hotel industry is a highly competitive industry. To compete, hotels need to be accurate with their budgeting to ensure financial results are aligned with the business objectives, and that their teams are organised and prepared to reach those goals.

Without giving your team the much needed goals, there´s no clear direction making it nearly impossible for them to know if they’re on the right track to reach the goals by the end of the year.

It’s A Team Effort: So Get Them Evolved!

So who should be involved in the budget-making process?

Understanding how each department contributes to the performance of the hotel is essential.

So, why not include all department heads in the process?

• Front Office Manager
• Rooms Director / Head of Operations
• Other departments: Spa, F&B, outlet managers, Golf, Housekeeping etc.
• Hotel Manager / GM
• Finance Team
• Revenue Managers

Where Many Hotels Go Wrong: The Budget Pitfall

It seems that not everyone goes into as much detail when making their budget. I have to share with you a funny story about budgeting with you. So we are working with many different hoteliers, and in this case, it pertains to the management of a resort. Hotels in vacation markets for many have been influenced (indoctrinated) by tour operators on how to manage their property. As a result, budgets are made per person rather than per room, meaning that the total revenue objectives become ‘flexible’ if the measurement of results does not incorporate enough factors.

In this particular case, the hotel’s management was under the impression the hotel was performing on target as the correct average rate per person was achieved. Unfortunately, the average occupancy per person per room was actually 20% lower than normal, which made it impossible to reach the total revenue target, because the average room rate was totally off.

Hold on, it gets even funnier. When we were working through the budget for each month, we noticed that several months had targets at revenue levels below last year. Upon probing the reasoning behind this, we were explained that some tour operators had informed them they were expecting 10% fewer bookings from a particular country. No one ever raised the thought to initiate partnerships with other distribution channels to offset this possible decrease in demand. Capturing more market share, or penetrating new markets was just not in their mindset.

Sorry, I just had to get this rant off my chest. But unfortunately, it is very typical for our industry. Especially in resort hotel markets, tour operators have for too long influenced hoteliers on how to run their business. Hoteliers need to get more strategic insight and understanding of the financial side of the business. Moreover, they have to become more creative in methods and revenue strategies to increase the performance of their property.

An industry colleague I respect highly called me last week, asking if I knew of any online tool which helps hoteliers develop a professional plan of approach. Not just a standard one, like most hotels, punch out, listing a few trade fairs and showing a % increase per segment. No, he was looking for a system that really guides you through every detail and forces you to look at all aspects that need to be incorporated. And he is right; marketing plans in general are too superficial. It is time they are taken to a more professional level, and become complete. Hotels are multi-million dollar or euro businesses and they demand an expert strategic and structural approach.

Step by Step Guide to Creating a Hotel Budget Plan

First, let’s talk about some ground rules before jumping into the specifications of budgeting. Make sure to consider the following points for improving accuracy and maximizing accuracy:

• Provide context around the numbers, not just enumerate – Telling the story of how revenue will be generated in the coming year, and which factors contribute to bringing in business will help your team to understand and contribute to the plan, benefiting the quality of the end result. 
• Multi-scenario – as we all know and have seen lately, trends can shift rapidly. Therefore, taking a proactive and agile approach is important to better navigate market fluctuations.
• Don’t overcomplicate – keep explanations and other overcomplicated jargon out of the reports. Again, simplifying allows for clear communication and will make it easier to get your team on board.

How to Get Started: Create a Breakdown per Hotel Department

Now we have cleared some ground rules, we can take a look at some of the elements you need to incorporate in the plan for next year. 

Taking into consideration the continuing growth of online sales and the quick adoption of mobile technology by consumers, we have put together some questions that will need your attention in the upcoming year:

Key Considerations per Hotel Department

The basis of the target or budget lies in a detailed demand calendar . Get a clear overview of what drove revenues each day. Map the events, conferences, expositions, trade fairs, concerts, holidays, vacations, long weekends, etc to the following year. You will start seeing a clear shift already.

Perform displacement calculations on all segments, channels, and accounts to uncover hidden revenue potential. Incorporate channel distribution costs like travel agent commission, agency fees, and marketing investments, payroll for sales, marketing, and reservation, to determine the true net value of each segment.

Here are some questions you should include in your budgeting process:

• How much revenue do we expect our hotel website to produce next year?
• What growth are we expecting from the current year?
• What is the balance between print and internet marketing?
• Are we shifting the budget from offline to online?
• What is our plan to attract more traffic to our website?
• What will we do to increase the conversion of our hotel website?
• What new online marketing initiatives will we launch next year?
• How will we collect more emails, mobile phone numbers, and FaceBook connections to be able to directly engage with our guests?
• How will we attract our different client target markets and niche guest segments?
• How will we measure the effect and ROI of all our marketing actions?
• Website Redesign or Optimization
• Links from local and travel directories
• Search engine marketing SEM / PPC
• Search engine optimization / SEO
• Banner advertising
• Advertising on Meta-Search, Review Websites, and Travel Forums / Communities
• Interactive campaigns/promotions (contests, games, quizzes, sweepstakes)
• Email marketing
• Mobile Website
• Mobile Search Engine Marketing SEM / PPC
• Social media marketing / Travel 2.0
• Online reputation management
• Blog output and maintenance 
• Backlink building
• Analytics / ROI tracking
• Webmaster tasks
• External hotel marketing agency
• Have you identified new local or international sales channels your hotel needs to be on?
• What are your key segments, niche segments, and feeder markets?
• Are there any travel agency channels or forums out there that can help you attract these customer target markets?
• How will you manage to keep a healthy balance between direct and indirect (third-party) sales online?
• What is your approach to protecting your hotel from brand hijacking by OTA?
• Are your FIT and wholesalers respecting the contract?
• How will you prevent wholesalers from distributing and publishing package rates as room-only deals on online travel agency websites?
• How will you control your cost of distribution?
• Will we use rate parity as a strategy to drive business through more cost-effective distribution channels?
• Will we guard against cannibalization by costly distribution channels like Flash, Group, and Lastminute sales websites?
• Will we let ourselves be caught up in website trends and hypes which only lead to an erosion of the hotel’s net rate?

Rooms Division

Just to give a few examples, here are some expenses to include:

Rooms/Housekeeping

• Cost of guest amenities
• Staff cost to clean rooms
• Cleaning products
• Complimentary/turndown gifts
• Uniforms (cost per uniform, laundry, reparations, tailoring fees)
• Printing costs
• Software & hardware tools
• Complimentary services (welcome drink etc.)
• Guest Relocation

Public Areas

• Cleaning supplies (public areas & rooms)
• Decorations
• Maintenance

Miscellaneous Income

• Resort Fees
• Package Breakage
• Commissions
• Business Interruption Insurance
• Foreign Currency Exchange
• Unused or Forfeited Gift Certificates
• Interest Income

Budgeting Approach: Is there a Best Way to Budget for Expenses?

Mainly, there are three ways to approach budgeting for hotels, and we´ve dived deeper into which key metrics are involved in our article about USALI (Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry), which is the standard system that any hotelier should familiarise themselves with.

In this article, we´ll briefly take you through the common methods used in hotel asset management and the hotel finance world, namely:

Let’s start with the most simple approach. This way of creating budgets can be easily performed by taking this year´s figures and adding a fixed percentage to each category, for example, to account for inflation or required revenue growth, and is a method to use if your costs are more predictable and have the tendency to be similar year over year (YOY).

• Simple, easy, and no complex calculations are required which reduces the chances of errors
• Saves time for your hotel
• Consistency – it can help to increase consistency of the budget over the years
• Discourages management to proactively look into savings and expenses
• External factors and unforeseen changes aren’t taken into account
• This might lead to unnecessary spending – some departments might not need a budget increase, leading to managers having the perceived freedom to spend more towards their budget even though no changes were required.

As the name suggests, the Zero-Based Budgeting approach starts with a zero starting point, and is a great way to identify essential expenses and eliminate unnecessary expenses. 

Without referring to last year’s numbers, this method requires managers to create and justify each budget item and category, pushing the team to review what´s most vital to running your hotel business.

• Accountability of managers – making them accountable for costs and overinflated budgets
• Works well for getting rid of unnecessary expenses
• A budget approach that minimises negative impact on operations in the efforts to control cost
• Time and resource consuming
• Possibility of short-term thinking to be rewarded over long-term thinking – initiatives that require a longer time to develop, for example, a brand awareness marketing campaign, requiring funds to ramp up impact, might be left with lower budget allocations in the short run as it is considered a long-term investment even though they´re needed to achieve the short term goals.

3. Cost per room occupied ( CPOR )

This method is not recommended as it doesn’t show you what key necessities are needed across each category.

The calculation for this budget approach is based on dividing each expense category by the number of rooms sold. 

• Quick and simple calculations to get an overview of expenses
• Only generic conclusions can be drawn with this approach, as it lacks granular insight into each category

As we all know, there are a million things on a hotelier’s mind. For this reason, setting clear deadlines for when deliverables should be handed in from each department is crucial both for getting the final budget ready in time, but also helping to alleviate some of the workload from your team by giving them proper planning.

Furthermore, provide your team with guidance during the budgeting season. In case deliverables are not of expected quality when deadlines are reached, our hotel consultants always recommended to set team meetings to discuss earlier drafts of the budget per department to avoid any delays or inaccuracies of data when closing in on the final deadline.

As you can see many things have to be considered and included in your hotel budget plan. We need to look at these aspects of the business, and many more, as they influence your financial results.

Most importantly, the budget is not only about the numbers, it needs to be combined with an action plan. The steps and investments that need to be taken to achieve the budgeted financial result. Without such a strategic roadmap, the numbers are merely some numbers put on paper … It’s the plan behind it that will make it stick and turn it into an achievable budget.

Hopefully, these thoughts from our hotel management company have helped you to make a more complete hotel budget plan of attack for next year!

Trending now view all, hotel budget guide for 2023: everything you need to know.

This guide will show you everything you need to know about hotel budgets and how to create your hotel budget for 2023. 

To create this, I worked with David Lund , “ The Hotel Financial Coach ,” who has 30+ years of operational and financial leadership experience, working with companies such as Hilton, Best Western, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, Coast Hotels, Watermark, Pacific Hospitality Group, Atlific Hotels, and many others. David Santos , Chief Financial Officer at Savoy Hotel & Beach Club, also contributed.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

Let’s get started! 

What is a hotel budget?

A hotel budget is a plan for how money will be generated and spent to achieve goals.

In Lund’s words, “A budget is a business plan focused on numbers.” He likens it to a map. “Before you go on a trip, you hopefully have a map of where you’re going so you can figure out your journey and changes you need to make to get to that final destination.” 

Why do hotels create budgets?

Hotels create budgets to stay organized and align their teams on delivering financial results for owners and investors. 

“The biggest challenge in the hotel business is when people aren’t organized enough to manage the operations and make changes they need to make to deliver the financial results that are possible,” Lund says.

The hotel budging process is essentially a goal-setting process, added Santos. “A budget is nothing other than a plan to achieve a goal. It shows your team where they need to go, and what they can get if they achieve that goal.” 

In his experience, the process of creating a budget gives leadership a look into how the hotel is being managed. “If the budgeting process is painful and complex, it’s a sign that the hotel is not organized, that the information does not flow through the team, and that ultimately, money is being left on the table.”

Does every hotel need a budget?

While many hotels don’t have a budget today, even small, independent hotels can benefit from having one.

“I am working with an independent family-owned hotel that does $15 million in revenue each year,” Lund shared. “It’s always been run by intuition alone, and they’ve been successful. But now they realize that they need better reporting tools to zero in on how to be more profitable and how to take the business to the next level.”

When is hotel budget season?

Hotel budgets are typically started in August, with the first presentations due in early September. 

“We typically aim to present the budget to a couple of different levels of management within the organization and then finally present it to ownership by November,” Lund said. 

How do you create a hotel budget?

Creating a budget involves having each department leader work out their resources, payroll, expenses, and revenues.

“The budgeting process typically starts by asking the revenue manager what they think room revenue will be in the coming year,” Lund said. “How many room nights do we expect to sell and at what rate? The rest of the team, including food and beverage leaders, will use rooms as a base to extrapolate what might happen in their area and the resources they’re going to need based on fluctuations and seasonality in the business.”

From here, others should be involved. 

Who should be involved in the budgeting process 

All department leaders need to be involved in the budget creation process, Lund says. This includes:

• Front office manager
• Guest services manager
• Housekeeping/Rooms manager 
• Maintenance manager
• The manager of every outlet on the property (food & beverage, spa, golf, etc)
• People/HR director
• Sales leader
• Marketing leader

Throughout this whole process, you will work closely with your finance team: the Director of Finance or Comptroller. 

Assign tasks and timelines 

Once you’ve identified all the people that will be part of this process, you need to assign tasks and deadlines for completion. 

“You need to let your revenue manager know that you need day-by-day rooms on the books, and average rates by August 15,” Lund shared as an example. “You need to tell your food and beverage manager you need all F&B revenues and banquet revenues done by August 22. And then you let everyone else know that these sets of information will be made available to all the other departments, with the expectation they create their payroll and expense projections for their departments.”

Translate forecasts to budgets

Each team needs to translate the forecasts from the revenue and F&B teams into budgets for their areas. 

“I would tell my teams that based on what we believe we can produce for revenue, I see about a 6% increase in the top line, which means we need a 50% flow through to GOP. So everyone can basically have a 3% increase on expenses and payroll,” Lund said. “This way we don’t spend all additional revenue and expenses and not make any more profit. As business leaders, we need to find ways to create profit.”

Provide your teams with guidance 

Guidance like this is helpful for team leaders, especially those who are new to the process, Lund advises.  

“Sometimes I would prepare a little cheat sheet which included the last five years in a column with key measurements, including the target for the year ahead, so we knew how things needed to be laid out to make sense in the budget.”

This combination of strategic guidance with zero-based budgeting (described later in this article) helps ensure that during times of high rate growth like we’ve seen this year, expenses don’t get out of hand unnecessarily.

Add qualitative reasoning for context

When creating your budget, Santos has found it is important to share context around the numbers.

“It is very important to add qualitative reasoning to the quantitative information. If things are forecasted to change, you need to present why they will change to your stakeholders.” 

Budgets don’t need to be overly difficult 

“Budgets don’t need to be terribly hard to prepare,” Lund observed. “While they are a big project involving a lot of people and departments, if everyone does their part you can pull it together relatively easily the first time. Things such as standardizing forms and Excel sheets help accelerate the process, but coaching and encouragement play a big role in streamlining and making this process as efficient as it can be.”

Who reviews and approves the hotel budget?

After the budget is prepared and presented initially, it’s ultimately approved by the owner of the hotel. 

For branded hotels, the brand approves the budget first and then ownership does.

Does a hotel budget change throughout the year? 

Not usually. “Once it’s done, it’s set in stone and we don’t make changes to it,” Lund says.

The 3 ways to budget for expenses

There are three primary ways to budget for expenses in a hotel.

Expense budgeting approach #1: Last year plus X%

This approach simply takes what you spent this year and adds a number such as 5% for inflation across each category. 

It’s the fastest and easiest approach.

Expense budgeting approach #2: Cost per room occupied (or cost per customer served)

This is where you divide each expense category by the number of rooms sold. 

For example, if you spent $60,000 on cleaning supplies in your Rooms department, and know that you sold 120,000 room nights, you spent $0.50 per room occupied on cleaning supplies.

People using this approach typically add for inflation as noted above.

However, neither of these approaches is very good, Lund says. “They don’t show you what really needs to be in each category.” That’s why he recommends a third approach. 

Expense budgeting approach #3: Zero-based budgeting 

Lund describes zero-based budgeting with the analogy of a grocery store. 

“If I give you $200 and sent you to the grocery store, you would come back with $200 worth of groceries. But if I sent you to the grocery store with a list of everything I want in detail, and provided $200, you would come back with everything I need on that list.”

Zero-based budgeting starts from scratch and goes category by category to figure out which expenses are essential. Nothing is assumed. By going through this exercise, everyone involved has more visibility into how much each thing costs, which is valuable in case costs need to be cut at some point.

 “If you don’t have that list of essential purchases, you don’t know where to start. That’s why a percentage of revenue or cost per room occupied approach is not that useful.”

Lund recalls reviewing budgets and asking team leaders where they got their numbers. “You can tell right away when people have done their homework because they can list exactly how much toilet paper or mopheads cost. If they don’t have that information, it might indicate they’re not operating as efficiently as they could be and might be wasting resources. People that do not use zero-based budgeting often end up ordering a lot of things that they don’t need or are over-ordering supplies. They’ll also be short on things all the time. They won’t be operating as effectively as they could be because they’re not organized.”

The Uniform System Of Accounts For The Lodging Industry

Lund recommends hoteliers reference The Uniform System Of Accounts For The Lodging Industry (USALI) when going through their budgeting and financial planning process. 

“I describe the USALI as basically our Bible that tells us where every expense goes in a budget.”

Lund is seeing how there’s often debate around expense allocation among hotel department managers. “Who is paying for cable TV – is that a Rooms expense or a Maintenance expense?“ 

The Uniform System Of Accounts answers questions like these and shows exactly where everything should go. “Using this removes a lot of friction that would otherwise be common in the hotel budgeting process.”

Surprisingly, Lund finds many hotels don’t yet use the USALI, and create unnecessary friction for themselves.

“Someone once told me the barrier to entry and hospitality is incredibly low, but the barrier to success is incredibly high. I found that those who focus on the details of their financial statements, accounting, and budgets are highly organized operators that tend to be the most successful.”

Getting into the details of financial planning with a budget is important because of the complexity of running a hotel. 

“If you’re running any other business like a corner store, you would get a financial statement from your accountant that lists revenues and expenses and profit. Hotels are completely different because there are so many revenue and cost centers. We have different room types, different food and beverage outlets, and various amenities on the property. We may have a golf department, a spa department, and a bowling alley. All of these are like little businesses that roll up into one financial statement, but we need the details for each of them to understand where we’re being successful or where we are lacking.”

What types of expense categories are there in a hotel budget?

Expenses are typically broken down into department expenses and general operating expenses. 

Rooms and Food & Beverage are typically the largest departments, with other departments summarized on the operating statement. 

General “undistributed” operating expenses include things such as administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and property operation and maintenance. 

Example expenses by department 

A good hotel budget goes beyond the high-level categories above to show details for each department. For example, the Rooms department of a hotel is often the largest expense category and includes the following sub-categories:

• Cleaning Supplies
• Cluster Services
• Commissions And Fees. 
• Complimentary Food And Beverage. 
• Complimentary In-Room Media Entertainment 
• Complimentary Service Services And Gifts 
• Contract Services 
• Corporate Office Reimbursables 
• Decorations 
• Dues And Subscriptions 
• Entertainment In-house 
• Equipment Rental
• Guest Relocation
• Guest Supplies
• Guest Transportation 
• Laundry And Dry Cleaning 
• Licenses And Permits
• Miscellaneous 
• Operating Supplies
• Postage 
• Printing and Stationery
• Reservations 
• Royalty Fees 
• Training 
• Travel 
• Uniforms 
• Uniform Laundry 

(You can see the full list for each department in The Uniform System Of Accounts For The Lodging Industry.)

Expense benchmarking for budget guidance

Whether you are creating a budget for the first time or simply want to know if your expenses are in line with industry standards, there are benchmarking tools that can help. 

“There’s a company called Hotstats that gathers all the profit and loss of data and organizes it by geography and by hotel type for people who want to know,” Lund said. 

He likens the approach to STAR reports. “Before STR, we would call around and get rates from all the hotels in our comps. STAR provides it to everybody now with a subscription. You get all the data and try to beat your competition every month.”

“Hotstats does the same thing with P&L data so that you can not only look at GOPPAR but you can break it down to all of its major components and then benchmark yourself against your competition. I think there’s going to be a big change in our industry in the next 10-20 years shifting to measuring profit performance rather than just revenue performance.” 

The difference between hotel operating expenses and capital expenditures

People often use the word “expenses” to describe everything that costs something. They often look at something like payroll as an expense. But that’s not accurate, Lund says. 

“Technically, when we talk about expenses, we’re not talking about payroll, we’re talking about goods and services. When we look at the goods and services a hotel consumes, there are two types of expenses: operating expenses and capital expenses. In larger organizations, typically the company defines which is which.”

At one company Lund used to work at, expenditures of $5,000 or more were considered capital expenses. “We needed to get approval and have a capital expenditure form signed that would list everything we wanted to buy.”

For example, if you want to buy five new point-of-sale terminals and they are $5,000 each, you can’t put that number through to your P&L – it’s too big. You need to list it as an asset and then amortize it over its useful life. But if you’re buying toilet paper for this month, that’s an operating expense that goes straight to your P&L. 

“Operating expenses are things that we can use on a current basis and can buy on a current basis. In contrast, I can’t buy a point-of-sale system on a current basis because that machine is going to last a while.”

Metrics that matter for hotels

When I asked Lund and Santos what metric they use to measure hotel performance, they both agreed: GOPPAR was the best.

Here’s a video that explains GOPPAR:

“RevPAR is for amateurs,” Lund told me – citing the often-used hotel performance metric. 

“RevPAR is only a starting point in understanding hotel performance. It’s like a car that goes really fast but can’t turn the corner. What’s the point? Yes, we want to generate lots of revenue, but we also want to be able to turn a profit.” 

“GOPPAR is the gold standard for telling you how good your management is compared to the competition.” 

Why involving your teams in creating budgets is important

If you think about all the people that need to be involved in the budget creation process, you might think it’s excessive – but involving these functional leaders is important, Lund says. He learned this through his own early experience.  

“I vividly remember the first time I was ever involved in the budgeting process,” Lund recalls. “I was an assistant controller and my boss told me he would be away for six weeks on vacation and that I would be creating the budget. I learned so much from that experience because I had to get into every single detail and figure out where we were spending money, and where money was coming from. After that experience, I was hooked.”

Lund also was surprised by how much he enjoyed the process. “I wasn’t that into math before that, but I learned the operational finances of a hotel are a completely different thing. They mean something for the day-to-day operations. Through budgeting, I learned a lot about our business and was much more capable of contributing to the conversation about strategy and where we can improve.”

Through this experience, Lund learned that involving his teams in creating the budget not only helped them learn about the business but made them buy into the strategy.

The big mistake hoteliers can make when creating a budget

The biggest mistake hoteliers can make when creating a budget is just giving their teams the budget as numbers for them to work off of without involving them in the process. “Without giving input, they won’t have ownership.“

For those new to the business, the budgeting process may seem intimidating – but Lund’s mantra of “the only thing we ever know about the budget is that it’s wrong” can provide some reassurance. 

“I’m working with a client right now who is creating a budget for the first time, and I keep repeating to them that their job is to share what they think will happen – and they don’t need to obsess about it being 100% accurate. The first objective is just to get things down on paper and create a first draft of the budget. From that draft, we can discuss and evolve it to where it needs to be. But I don’t want people thinking there needs to be complex algebra in creating the budget. I remind them that we’re just creating a business plan.”

How is a hotel budget used throughout the year? 

Hotel budgets are used throughout the year with a rolling forecast. “If we finish January, we would have our budget for the remaining 11 months and one month of actual performance. What we do with that is incorporate it into a 30, 60, 90-day forecast from that point in time,” Lund said.

“If I’m preparing a budget right now and it’s September and we make changes to that budget, it gets presented to ownership. But by the time January rolls around, the world could be a very different place.”

“The budget never changes. It gets locked up on approval. But once approved, we start using the actual results plus the forecast as we go. So in February, we have two months of actuals plus ten months forecasted. In March, it’s three months of actuals plus nine months forecasted. And as we get closer to the end of the year, we can really zero in on where we’re going to end up. So if we’re looking at 2022’s rolling forecast we would have eight months of actual performance and four months of forecasts – and a lot more certainty on where we will end up for the year.”

“The most important thing when I’m looking at next year’s budget is to look at where we are performing this year. Of course, the last couple of years have been difficult, but we can reference 2019 and 2018. Starting with what we know about the market and about our competition and then layering our budget on top of that with a rolling forecast is the key to being on top of the current operating conditions in your hotel.”

Incentives to align around profitability 

If GOPPAR is the key metric, how do you align your teams around this? 

Most branded, managed hotels have what is called a “management incentive plan.” 

It’s basically an annual bonus plan based on four or five different metrics, Lund said. “Typically, managers make up to 40% of their salary as a bonus depending on how successful the hotel is. The metrics the plan is based on might include things like guest satisfaction scores, employee satisfaction scores, health and safety scores, RevPAR Index, and productivity measures. But the most important is profit – and that metric is sometimes the gatekeeper. if the hotel doesn’t make a profit none of the other metrics kick in and the bonus won’t be paid out.”

“Ensuring your teams are compensated on the most important metrics is key to aligning them on delivering your ultimate business goals,” Lund recommends. 

Advice for the 2023 hotel budgeting season

The hospitality industry has seen unprecedented volatility over the past few years, which may make creating a budget for 2023 seem intimidating. But as Lund always advises “the only thing we know about a budget is that it’s wrong.”

Start with the end in mind

Lund suggests beginning by thinking about what a good year could look like. “What would a great 2023 look like? Over the past few years, most hotels have experienced a lot but also learned new things to help them control costs. So it’s good to start with a vision that typically comes from the general manager or someone with a view from the top. Someone who can see the entire operation and also the competitive market and other macro factors.”

From this perspective, you might tell your teams that you expect to increase room revenue by at least 7% based on what you heard from your revenue manager.

Get into the details with zero-based budgeting

From there, Lund recommends getting into the details with zero-based budgeting as described above. 

“If you’ve never done zero-based expenses before, you should start. If you haven’t created or use a staffing guide before, you should. These things will give you more detail on what’s going on in your business. They will help you operate much more effectively than if you just take expenses from last year and add a 5% cost increase to create your budget.”

This is especially important in a world that’s been highly volatile over the past few years with dramatic cuts and now high demand at many hotels.

“Because I’ve done these hundreds of times, I can guarantee you if you don’t create a zero-based budget, you’re paying for things you don’t even use because people just keep sending you invoices. I found things such as hotels paying for beepers that hadn’t been used in years. This is why it’s so important to get into the details.”

Create a day-by-day revenue budget 

After getting into the details of expenses, Lund recommends hotels create a day-by-day revenue budget. 

“If you don’t create a day-by-day budget, you’re missing out. A lot of people will just create revenue forecasts by the month and say things like July is their busiest month. But doing this day-by-day for at least your major market segments will help you understand rates and revenue potential in more detail.”

Create a marketing plan that generates demand 

Finally, Lund encourages hotels to ensure they’re investing in marketing to create demand that will be captured by smart revenue strategy. 

“Where will you be investing to generate the revenues that will pay for everything? It’s important to revisit this because markets are always changing – especially now. If you’ve been in a group hotel in the past, you can’t rely on that anymore because travel is changing quickly. Many hotels are seeing business travel at lower levels than they’ve been historically. But every market is different and you need to understand where the opportunity lies and how you create more demand for your property.”

Avoid These 3 Business Mistakes During the Holiday Season

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

A broken website. Sold-out items. Shipping delays. These conditions can be detrimental to small businesses during the holiday season, arguably the busiest time of year for retail sales .

“We see some of our clients in one weekend — like over Black Friday, Cyber Monday — make more money that weekend than they do for the entire year. It’s a huge opportunity,” says Sharon Lee Thony, founder and CEO of SLT Consulting, a boutique digital marketing agency, and a Verizon Small Business Digital Ready instructor.

Small-business owners may not be able to plan for every contingency, but identifying some of the more likely (and costly) possibilities, as well as having plans to prevent them, can help position businesses for success.

Here are three of the most common mistakes small businesses make leading up to and during the holiday shopping season, and tips to avoid them.

1. Failing to plan ahead

Planning ahead is key to running a small business, but it’s even more important during the holiday season when you’re anticipating an influx of sales.

This means having things in place operationally to be able to handle the greater volume of traffic to your e-commerce website or foot traffic in your stores, Thony says.

She recommends preparation strategies such as:

Making sure you have enough inventory.

Hiring additional, temporary staff.

Checking that your website is optimized and links are working.

Creating competitive promotions that offer value to customers.

If you have it, use historical data to anticipate your seasonal needs and guide planning decisions. In order to make sure you’ll have enough inventory , for example, you can create a sales forecast or inventory demand plan, says Hannah Shr, senior program manager at ICA Fund, a small-business accelerator based in California.

Performing these analyses ahead of time can help ensure that you’re not scrambling as the holidays approach, nor leaving “money and opportunities on the table,” Shr says.

2. Forgetting the customer experience

When you’re trying to manage your inventory, staff and marketing down to the smallest details, it can be easy to forget who’s on the other side of the sale.

But making your customers feel special — feel that you understand their needs — can help you stand out from your competitors during this busy time of year, said Oleg Donets, founder of marketing platform Real Estate Bees and SCORE business mentor, by email.

Investing in personalization is one way businesses can prioritize the customer experience. Donets recommends segmenting your customer base as granularly as possible so that you can precisely tailor your messaging and offerings.

Avoid a general offer, like “20% off all merchandise this holiday season,” he said. Instead, you might consider an exclusive promotion for those who opt in to your email list or a special sale for repeat customers.

Investing in your existing customer base, in particular, is a “great way to leverage this holiday shopping period,” Thony says. Customers who are already familiar with your brand are likely willing to buy more, share gifts with friends and spread the word about your business.

3. Overlooking collaboration

As holiday shoppers search for the perfect gifts, one way to amplify your business’s visibility is to connect with other businesses, specifically those that complement your own, Shr says.

For instance, if you run a small candle company, you might partner with a soap maker or local spa to create a “pampering” themed holiday basket. Similarly, a brewery with increased foot traffic during the holiday season might work with various food trucks to promote their businesses.

“There’s something really powerful in collaborating,” Shr says. Business owners who see each other as resources can help each other out and work together toward success.

Local business groups and nonprofits can also be excellent resources for collaboration during this time of year. Some of these organizations operate community holiday markets and promote small businesses in local media, as well as offer other opportunities for you to share your story with potential customers this holiday season.

You can find these groups through social media, your local Chamber of Commerce or a simple online search.

Workers say Gold Coast hotel is laying them off before shift to homeless shelter

Selina Hotel workers say they are being laid off because Chicago is turning their workplace into a homeless shelter.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Workers at Gold Coast hotel say they are being laid off because their workplace will soon become a homeless shelter.

Sixteen hotel workers said they are being laid off this Friday, saying management notified them just last week.

"When we got the letter from the hotel saying that my co-workers and I are out of work as of this Friday I couldn't believe it. I feel very betrayed," said employee Linwei Xiao.

Residents concerned as plans for controversial Brighton Park migrant camp move forward

Mayor Brandon Johnson has come under criticism for not doing enough for the city's unhoused, focusing instead on the growing migrant crisis. The mayor's office would not say how many people will be moving in, only that this is a temporary arrangement to last through the winter months when people experiencing homelessness are at their most vulnerable.

The Selina Hotel served as a migrant shelter at the beginning of the year, from December to March, then went back to booking guests. At that time hotel workers were able to keep their jobs.

But now, Unite Here Local 1 says management told the union that the hotel will operate under a contract to house homeless, triggering the layoffs.

The union says the hotel later wrote no such contract currently exists but Selina could enter into a sublease agreement whereby the hotel could be rented to a third party to house homeless for an extended period of time.

Reaction from people who live across the street was mixed on Wednesday.

"I feel badly. I really do. But no. Not for it. Not for it. I pay too much where I live," said Margie Roberts, resident.

"You see people on the street and you want to make sure everybody is OK. We also just want to know that there is a plan for everything," said resident Patrick Tham.

The shelter would be the second to open in the neighborhood over the last year. About 1,500 migrants currently live at the Inn of Chicago on Ohio Street. The shelter has been roundly criticized by both residents and the neighborhood's aldermen alike.

Ald. Brendan Reilly said Wednesday he was not consulted by the mayor about the Selina Hotel, adding in part, "The Johnson Administration's continued lack of transparency and communication regarding the opening of potential migrant and homeless shelter locations in wards throughout the city is neither acceptable nor good government. Simply put: it is wrong.

"I strongly oppose Mayor Johnson's bad decision to convert a revenue generating hotel property, just steps from Michigan Avenue, into a city shelter that will result in the loss of many good paying jobs."

The mayor's office would not provide an exact timeline for the shelter's functioning, but did say it could remain open up to seven months and will be financed through a state grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services.

By Lana Cook

Do you love connecting with people from all over the world who share your passion for travel? Don’t want to work a typical 9-5 job and instead want to build a business where every day is different, and you own your schedule?

Opening a hotel business is a dream many entrepreneurs have, but it can be a daunting venture to start. A hotel business plan is a critical first step for business owners to turn their dreams into reality. A strategic plan allows one to study the hotel industry, identify their hotel’s unique point of view, and outline how exactly they will reach their goals.

Read on to learn more about the  10 sections to include in your hotel business plan, tips for creating an effective plan, and key things you need to start your new hotel business.

What is a hotel business plan?

A hotel business plan is a detailed document that identifies your business’s goals, objectives, and strategies for success. It includes market research and a roadmap for building and operating your business.

Why do you need a hotel business plan?

Studies show that entrepreneurs who finished their business plan were twice as likely to succeed in growing their business than those with no plan. A hotel business plan:

• Helps you identify whether you have a viable business idea
• Provides a detailed roadmap on what you need to accomplish and why
• Gives potential investors insight into your business idea and confidence that you can be successful
• Keeps you on track as you start to execute the different tactics outlined in your plan
• Identifies critical milestones for you and your team to reach

Your plan does not have to be static and should change over time as your business grows and evolves. Your first draft is a starting point to help guide your strategy and instill confidence in potential investors.

10 sections to include in your hotel business plan

Whether you’re starting a small boutique hotel, a cozy B&B, or a 5-star resort, you will need to address the following sections in your hotel business plan.

1. Executive summary

An executive summary is the most essential part of your business plan. It should concisely explain the purpose of your business and why it will be a success.

Include your mission statement explaining why your hotel exists and its overall goal. For example, Capella Hotels & Resorts ’ mission is to combine tradition, discovery, individuality, and twist of the unexpected to create the perfect stay for each guest.

You should also include your vision statement that clearly describes your hotel’s purpose for being in a single sentence. For Capella Hotels, its vision is to embody excellence in the craft of hospitality.

We recommend writing your executive summary as the final stage, as it should summarize the goals and objectives laid out in your plan.

2. Company analysis

Your company analysis is where you can dive into your hotel’s competitive advantage. Ask yourself what makes your hotel unique. Why would guests want to stay with you instead of your competitors?

In this section, identify your brand’s identity and the goals and objectives you want to accomplish. Outline how many rooms and room categories your property will have. For example, will you offer a hybrid hospitality model with dorms, single rooms, and suites? Explain what ancillary revenue sources you’ll offer, like in-room food and beverage options, welcome drinks, or airport shuttles.

Use storytelling to communicate your excitement and passion and make it clear what your hotel will bring to the hospitality industry that hasn’t been done before.

3. Industry analysis

As a business owner, you must be prepared for forces outside your control. You will need to conduct a market analysis that looks at the hospitality industry to identify micro and macro trends that may impact your business. Look at:

• Economic trends
• Environmental trends
• Political trends
• Global health trend
• Technology trends

For each trend, identify how it will impact your business and ways to mitigate risk or take advantage of opportunities.

For example, digital check-in technology has increased across the hotel industry with the rise of tech-savvy guests, new innovative software providers in the market, and labor challenges. Therefore, you should consider what guest engagement solutions you’ll include at your hotel.

In addition to trends, look at the history of the hospitality industry, its current size, and how it’s expected to grow in the short and long term. This research will impact the rest of your plan, especially your marketing and finances.

4. Customer analysis

What type of hotel guests do you want to attract? It’s impossible to please every kind of guest, which is why it’s important to identify your target market . Once you know who you want to stay at your property, you can develop amenities, services, and marketing materials to attract these guests and deliver exceptional experiences.

Ask yourself:

• What type of guests do I want? Business or leisure travelers?
• What demographics? Age, gender, marital status, etc.
• What are my target market’s interests? Water sports, hiking, relaxation, museums, animals, etc.
• What does my target market value? Sustainability, contactless technology, personalized service, localized experiences, etc.

This section will help you formulate the guest experience to ensure that expectations meet reality .

5. Competitive analysis

The competition you face will vary depending on where your hotel is located. This section is where you should conduct in-depth competitor research to understand how your hotel will compare. Identify who your five major competitors are — ideally, three direct competitors who you will be competing with upon opening and two aspirational competitors that you can emulate as you grow your business.

Conduct a SWOT analysis based on your competitors to look at:

• Strengths – where does your property excel in comparison to competitors? Why would travelers pick you? Price, amenities, location, technology, etc.
• Weaknesses – where does your property fall short in comparison to competitors? Price, amenities, location, technology, etc.
• Opportunities – what industry trends can you take advantage of? What local events or partnerships can you capitalize on?
• Threats – what are the biggest threats facing your property? War, travel restrictions, recession, etc.

A thorough analysis can help solidify your competitive advantage and develop a contingency plan for how you will deal with your weaknesses and threats.

6. Marketing plan

Without demand, there is no business. A hotel marketing plan outlines the channels you’ll use to reach your target audience to drive bookings. Your marketing strategy should include 3 key channels:

1) Paid media — paid advertising to promote your property and drive bookings. This includes online travel agencies (OTAs) , search engine marketing (SEM) , retargeting, and metasearch advertising .

2) Owned media — content you create, like your hotel website , social media channels , blog posts, and SEO .

3) Earned media — user-generated content created by third parties like media coverage or online reviews.

7. Operations plan

How do you plan to run your day-to-day operations? This section of your plan will outline all of the key tasks and responsibilities of your team and what exactly your hotel will offer. Consider:

• The number of staff and supervisors required
• Job descriptions and responsibilities
• Your service standards (check out our downloadable SOPs for some inspiration)
• How you’ll manage your inventory
• What hotel technology solution(s) will you need? PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payment terminal, revenue management tools, guest engagement software, etc.
• What services and amenities do you want to offer?

Detail your short and long-term operational plans and the stakeholders involved for each area.

8. Management team

Whether or not you’ve hired your team yet, this section is one of the most important sections that potential investors will look at. Make sure to outline the key personnel you will require and their roles. 

In general, these are the following roles you’ll want to outline:

• Hotel management (general manager, front office manager, housekeeping manager, maintenance manager, revenue manager)
• Hotel sales team
• Housekeeping staff
• Front office staff
• Maintenance

Depending on the size of your hotel, your team will vary. Identify what team members you will need to open and your hiring plans over the next five years.

9. Strategic plan

Hoteliers must be strategic in optimizing occupancy rates across seasons to maintain revenue. As part of your strategic plan, identify how you will manage:

• Pricing – what room types will you offer, and how will the pricing vary?
• How will you maintain consistent occupancy throughout the high and low seasons? Will you adapt your pricing and marketing strategies?
• How will you conduct revenue management ? What type of rules/alerts will you use to adjust rates? Will you use technology to help with revenue management ?
• What will your online reputation management strategy be? How will you collect and respond to online reviews?
• What will your distribution mix look like? How will you drive reservations across a variety of channels?

10. Financial plan

Your financial projections are the most challenging but arguably the most important part of your hotel business plan. In this section, you should include the following:

• Start-up costs – how much money will you need from lenders to operate your hotel? Consider business licenses, furniture, down payments, etc.
• Operating costs – how much money will you need to keep your business running? Consider staffing costs, guest acquisition costs , mortgage payments, utilities, SaaS payments, etc.
• Income statement – what will your revenue, expenses, and profit be over the first 3-5 years of business?
• Cash flow projections – how will cash flow in and out of your business? Show what capital investment you’ll need to start.
• Balance sheet – identify your assets, liabilities, and equity.

If you’re looking for a potential investor, your financial plan will be the section they care about most. Here you must prove how your business will provide a return on investment. Don’t forget to include an Appendix that shows more detailed reporting and financial figures.

8 tips for creating an effective plan

1. Start with the section that excites you the most! Covering all the topics outlined above can feel overwhelming, so don’t feel pressured to go in order.

2. Reach out to a business owner you admire. No matter what type of business you’re starting, it’s always helpful to get advice from another business owner. Reach out to a successful local business owner to see if they’d be willing to share some insights they learned along the way.

3. Be concise. While there’s a lot to cover, you must be concise in each section of your plan. Include any additional research or documentation in the appendix to keep your business plan clean.

4. Try to avoid industry jargon. Depending on what type of investor is reading your plan, they may find jargon irrelevant and distracting.

5. Ensure you have a clear competitive advantage. You should be able to state in one sentence what makes your property unique. This selling point will be prominent in all of your marketing materials.

6. Set SMART goals. Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals is important to stay organized and on track to reach milestones.

7. Don’t forget about your plan. You will have spent hours developing your plan, so make sure you use it! Reference your plan as you build and grow your business , and remember that it’s ok if things change.

8. Illustrate your passion. Communicate why you want to be a part of the hospitality industry. Passion is contagious and gives investors more confidence that you will work hard to achieve your dreams.

What do you need to start a hotel business?

Ok, so you’ve read through this article and are now wondering — what’s next? Ensure you have the following items on your radar to start your business.

• A vision. Know exactly what kind of business you want to build.
• A business plan. Stay on track with a well-developed business plan.
• A location. Decide if you want to build a new property or renovate an existing hotel.
• Capital. Do you need to raise an upfront capital investment? Remember that new businesses usually aren’t profitable for the first few years and will need cash flow to pay for expenses.
• Business licenses & permits. Depending on the type of property and its services, you’ll need an occupancy permit, alcohol license, food service license, sales tax license, etc.
• Technology. Choose a hospitality management platform that can help you scale your business.
• Furniture & equipment. You must furnish your property with the proper furniture, electronics, appliance, etc.
• Staff. Take time hiring staff you can trust and who understand your hotel’s brand and vision.

Final thoughts

Your business plan provides the foundation for your new business and outlines the next steps in the journey. Ensure you fully understand the market and competitive landscape to enter the industry prepared for whatever is to come. Start slow and invest in the right people and technology to support the growth of your business.

Hotel Business Plan

Owning a hotel is a dream for many people, who like to organize and engage in multiple different activities. From having unique themes to beautiful decor, a hotel business gives you an ample amount of chances to showcase your creativity.

But the pandemic might have naturally left many of you doubting the viability of hotels.

With a vast variety of reasons a hotel serves, the hotel business is very less likely to become irrelevant.

The industry will see particularly strong growth in extended-stay hotels, boutique hotels, spa and health retreats and resorts segments.

What are the Steps To Start a Hotel Business?

Starting a hotel business can be an exciting endeavor. Having a clear roadmap of the steps to start a business will help you stay focused on your goals and get started faster.

1. Develop A Hotel Business Plan - The first step in starting a business is to create a detailed hotel business plan that outlines all aspects of the venture. This should include potential market size and target customers, the services or products you will offer, pricing strategies and a detailed financial forecast.  

2. Choose Your Legal Structure - It's important to select an appropriate legal entity for your hotel business. This could be a limited liability company (LLC), corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks so it’s important to do research and choose wisely so that your hotel business is in compliance with local laws.

3. Register Your Hotel Business - Once you have chosen a legal structure, the next step is to register your hotel business with the government or state where you’re operating from. This includes obtaining licenses and permits as required by federal, state, and local laws. 

4. Identify Financing Options - It’s likely that you’ll need some capital to start your hotel business, so take some time to identify what financing options are available such as bank loans, investor funding, grants, or crowdfunding platforms. 

5. Choose a Location - Whether you plan on operating out of a physical location or not, you should always have an idea of where you’ll be based should it become necessary in the future as well as what kind of space would be suitable for your operations. 

6. Hire Employees - There are several ways to find qualified employees including job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed as well as hiring agencies if needed – depending on what type of employees you need it might also be more effective to reach out directly through networking events. 

7. Acquire Necessary Hotel Equipment & Supplies - In order to start your hotel business, you'll need to purchase all of the necessary equipment and supplies to run a successful operation. 

8. Market & Promote Your Business - Once you have all the necessary pieces in place, it’s time to start promoting and marketing your hotel business. This includes creating a website, utilizing social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, and having an effective Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy. You should also consider traditional marketing techniques such as radio or print advertising.
