About this series
The Book, provides teaser to my upcoming comprehensive guide on "Mastering budgeting and forecasting for hospitality business"
You can pre-order that book.
Here's a summary of the key points covered in the guide:
Importance of Budgeting and Forecasting: Budgeting and forecasting are essential for planning and decision-making. They serve as a guide for marketing and operational decisions, helping businesses understand what actions they need to take to achieve certain financial targets. Budgets also act as a yardstick to measure performance, communicate goals and plans, and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Types of Budgets and Forecasts: The video discusses various types of budgets and forecasts, including traditional annual budgeting, zero-based budgeting, three-month rolling forecasts, and quarterly budgets and forecasts. Each type has its own purpose and is used under different circumstances.
Operational vs. Financial Budgets: Operational budgets focus on the volume of business, manpower, resources, marketing activities, and other operational aspects. Financial budgets, on the other hand, include revenue budgets, expense budgets, cash flow statements, and balance sheets. Both types of budgets are interlinked and need to be developed simultaneously.
Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Budgeting: In top-down budgeting, the board or top management sets the financial targets, and individual departments work out plans to achieve these targets. This approach is faster but can be short-sighted and detached from ground realities. In contrast, bottom-up budgeting involves individual departments or units developing their own budgets, which are then consolidated into a company-wide budget. This approach is more time-consuming but tends to be more realistic and inclusive.
Making Budgeting Useful: To make budgeting a useful exercise rather than just a paper exercise, businesses should have a strategic direction, understand the impact of each scenario on financial performance, dive into operational details, and measure performance regularly.
Scenario Planning: Scenario planning is crucial for budgeting. It involves brainstorming different potential future scenarios and planning how the business would respond in each case. This helps businesses evaluate different options and become more adaptable.
This summary can be used as a basis for creating a short eBook. However, please note that the video contains more detailed explanations and examples that would be beneficial to include in the eBook.
