Hotel Budgeting and Forecasting in Practice

Part IV close-outThe Hotel Operating Model Rolls Up to GOP

Gross Operating Profit is now a built number, not a subtotal that appeared at the bottom of a spreadsheet. Every dollar in it can be traced backward — through Chapter 21's consolidation, through the three undistributed expense groups in Chapters 18 through 20, through the three departmental profit figures Part III produced, back to the market evidence Part II built revenue from, and ultimately to the ownership and architecture controls Part I put in place before any number existed. That traceability, not the GOP figure itself, is what Part IV was built to deliver.
