When to use it
Open this excel workbook while working through Chapter 4 of Hotel Budgeting and Forecasting in Practice, then revisit it when the same planning, review, or control question returns.
Prepare before you start
Before you start, have the relevant source reports, operating assumptions, supporting schedules, and owner or management notes available. Record the inputs you actually used, the conclusion reached, and the follow-up required so the companion becomes part of the working evidence rather than a disconnected download.
This landing page is public so the companion can be found, shared and reached through a QR code. The working file or tool is available after the matching purchase is verified.
Paperback and hardcover purchasers can upload a receipt, invoice or order screenshot. Once the book purchase is approved, all purchaser companions attached to that book use the same entitlement.
