Housekeeping budget plays a very important role in the operation of the hotel. Operational Expenses like guest supplies, cleaning supplies, printing and stationeries and other miscellaneous expenses are usually allocated to Housekeeping Department or Rooms Department.
Preparing yearly budget for the above mentioned items means calculating daily and yearly consumption of each item based on the occupancy percentage. Example:
Item: toilet paper roll
Consumption: 50/ day x 365 days = 18,250 rolls/year
Occupancy Percentage: 500 rooms at 50% occupancy= 250 rooms occupied
Budget is being prepared for next year's consumption, so if the forecasted occupancy percentage for next year is 75% occupancy then the calculation will be as follows:
50% plus 25% = 75%
18,250 plus (25% of 18,250) 4,562.5= 22,812.5 or 22,813 toilet rolls
22,813 x $0.50/roll = $11,406.50
Same procedure is done with almost all of the housekeeping operating supplies and sum them all up to have a total amount allocated for next year's budget.

Small property hotels are always in demand since the rate is not as high as large scale hotel properties. They also function same way such as weddings, family re-unions, school re-unions, birthdays and any other celebrations that need banqueting services as well as hotel accomodations. With this tough economy, this is were sales and marketing I strongly believe play an important role to improve business in their respective hotel.
