Frequently Asked Questions

Supplies budget benchmarks?

Per occupied room: $1.20–2.80 housekeeping supplies (chemicals $0.40, paper $0.50, amenities $0.60–1.50, linen replacement allowance $0.30). Annual: $25k–80k for 200-room hotel. Bulk procurement (Ecolab, Diversey, Sysco): 20–35% savings vs retail. Linen replacement reserve: $80–200/key/year. Eco-friendly chemicals: 5–15% premium but improves staff retention + GSS scores. Track monthly per occupied room.

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.
