How the math works

Revenue / sq ft = annual banquet revenue / banquet sq ft. F&B + AV = revenue × (F&B % + AV %).

$1.8M / 12,000 sq ft = $150/sq ft. 350 events × $5,143/event. F&B + AV attach: 72% × $1.8M = $1,296,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Banquet revenue benchmarks?

Full-service hotel banquet: $80–250 per available banquet sq ft per year is healthy. Resort: $150–500. Convention hotel: $300–800. Boutique: $40–150. Drivers: meeting space utilization, average daily revenue per booked event, F&B attach, AV revenue, and group rooms drag-through. Strong banquet teams target 35–45% of total food and beverage revenue.

How does this support hotel underwriting?

Hotel investors and operators use this calculator alongside RevPAR, GOP, and flow-through analysis to validate operating assumptions. Pair it with a comp set benchmark (STR or HotStats data), brand/franchise standards, and seasonal demand patterns. Output is most useful when triangulated against trailing twelve-month financials and a forward booking pace report.

Brand vs independent treatment?

Branded hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Choice, Wyndham) typically follow USALI 11th edition reporting which dictates how this metric flows through the P&L. Independent and lifestyle hotels have flexibility but most lenders still expect USALI-aligned reporting. Use brand standards or local CVB data when defaults aren't representative of your asset.

Seasonal sensitivity?

Inputs based on annual averages mask peak/shoulder/trough volatility. Resort properties may see 60–80% of annual revenue concentrated in 4–6 months. Urban transient is more even but dips for weekends. Model peak month, shoulder month, and trough month separately if seasonality exceeds 20% swing. Stress test with a 10–15% RevPAR shock for cycle planning.
