TEMPLATE DESCRIPTION

Entering the hotel business requires a quite amount of capital allocation. It is quite possible that you would need to borrow from the bank in order to buy a property and renovate it. Because you want to meet the expectations of your target audience. That is when Hotel Feasibility Study Excel Template comes in because your financial projections are one of the first things your creditors would like to see.

Our Hotel Financial Plan template is meticulously crafted for hotels, motels, and hostels, providing accurate forecasting tools essential for sound management and operational planning. From small hostels to large hotels, this tool is designed to cater to various hospitality setups, offering a reliable foundation for developing a feasible and sustainable operating plan.

Hotel Financial Model Template Features:

Basically, this template consists of 3 main parts:

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S01-Flow-1

This is when our Hotel Financial Model would be of use. In general, you will be able to:

  • Create financial projections for up to 10 years and test them using a range of assumptions;
  • Account for various unit types, taking into account seasonal change and year-to-year fluctuations of prices and occupancy;
  • Analyze for different sources of income, such as accommodation, food, and beverages, retail, and use of amenities;
  • Manage different sales channels, such as direct reservations, booking engines, and travel agents.

Although being rather simple and user-friendly, this hotel feasibility study model offers a full range of the professional financial modeling tool’s features. Let’s dive into each section of this Hotel Feasibility Study Excel Template.

Dashboard

Firstly, start working from the Dashboard. Here you will find the links to all parts of the model, as well as a few settings and assumptions.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S02-Links-2

In summary, the Model Config section allows you to:

  • Set a length of the Projection Period (from 2 to 10 years) by picking from the drop-down list;
  • Enter the Start Date of the project;
  • Enter a code of the currency in which all monetary amounts will be displayed;
  • Show or hide instructions by using the drop-down list.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S03-Settings

There are two tables here as well:

  • The sales Channels table contains a list of the applicable sales channels with their assumed revenue shares and commission percentages that each channel entails;
  • Occupancy by Year’s table allows you to set maximum occupancy rates (not taking into account seasonal variations) which you reasonably expect to reach in each of the consequential years of operation.

Then, go to the Assumptions section which contains the most important projection, namely your expected sales.

Hotel Feasibility Study – Sales And Pricing Assumptions

In the first table Sales – Accommodation, enter the following information:

  • A list of accommodation units;
  • Regular nightly rates for each type of unit, before taking into account any discounts;
  • For each type of unit, number of units available;
  • For each type of unit, a number of persons per unit. These numbers will be used to calculate other incomes as specific amounts per guest;
  • For each month of the year, enter expected occupancy rates and average discounts. The ultimate occupancy rate for a month will be found as the product of the month-specific occupancy rate and year-specific maximum occupancy which you have entered in the Dashboard section.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S04-Accomadation

The study includes a detailed room forecast, incorporating factors like seasonality and Average Daily Rate (ADR), which are crucial for understanding demand and pricing strategies in the hospitality sector.

In the second table Sales – Other Revenue, enter the following:

  • Names of facilities with a relevant group of income lines (Food & Beverages, Retail, Amenities, Miscellaneous);
  • Percentage of variable costs that entails the income line;
  • A method for estimating income amounts: specific amount per guest or fixed amount;
  • For each month of the year, enter expected income amounts (either average per guest, or a fixed sum, depending on the previous setting).

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S05-Other-Revenue

In the next two tables, the expected numbers of booked nights for each unit, and expected numbers of guests will be calculated accordingly.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S06-Nights-Booked

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S07-Guests-Booked

Other Notes:

If you expect that prices will increase over time, enter the increase rate with its frequency into the Price Increase fields. After that, the price Evolution table will contain actual prices adjusted for both seasonal price changes and time-related price increases. Alike, other income amounts will be adjusted to accommodate an expected increase over time.

Ultimately, Sales Revenues from all lines of income will be calculated with sales channel commissions and variable costs (costs of goods and services sold). If you expect that costs will increase over time, enter the increase rate with its frequency into the Cost Increase fields. Variable cost amounts will be adjusted.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S15-Increase-Rate2

Your next step for your hotel financial model will be entering expected salaries and other fixed costs in the Fixed Costs section.

Hotel Feasibility Study – Fixed Cost

With a keen focus on operating costs, the product supports effective budgeting and staffing plans, allowing hospitality businesses to optimize their workforce and manage expenses proactively.

Start here from the Staff table. Enter names of employee positions with groups of income lines.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S08-Fixed-Costs-Staff

For example, maids and cleaners will be associated with accommodation, and cooks and waiters – with food and beverages income. For each position, provide the wage/salary level, as of the start date of the project. Furthermore, to account for seasonal variations in the workforce, enter the expected average number of employees for each month of the year.

Similarly, other Monthly Expenses table follows the same logic;

  • Enter names of expense items into the list, with the groups of income lines,
  • Enter expected monthly amounts of expenses for each month of the year.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S09-Fixed-Costs-Other-Monthly-Expenses

As it is reasonable to expect that expenses will increase over time, enter expected increase rates and frequencies into Salary Increase and Expenses Increase fields.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S10-Increase-Rate

Finally, the tool will calculate time-adjusted amounts of wages/salaries and other fixed expenses for each month of the projected period.

Start-up Cost

Last, but not least step will be entering your startup costs into this section. The usefulness of the model’s outcomes will greatly depend on the degree of accuracy in estimating the costs you will need to start your hotel business.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S11-Startup-Costs

Now as you have entered all necessary data, go to the reports which are available from the Dashboard section.

Hotel Feasibility Study Template – Reports

Financial statements summarize your hotel accounting info in a way that’s simple to understand.  Therefore, for most small hotel business owners, it can be either monthly or quarterly. And, this Hotel Financial Model provides monthly statements that flow into annual summaries easily including:

  • Income Statement
  • Balance Sheet
  • Cash Flow Statement

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S12-Financial Statements

Profit (EBITDA) is assessing basic day-to-day operational profitability. The elimination of expenses like interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization from the metric means that performance can be viewed away from accounting and financing. So you will easily present breakdowns of income and expenses by lines of income.

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S13-Profit

The P&L calculator embedded within assists in crafting a realistic budget, offering clear insights into potential profits and losses through advanced forecasting functionalities designed for the hotel industry.

Basically, Break-even reports will give you an idea of when you are going to recover your initial investments;

Hotel-Financial-Model-Excel-Template-Someka-S16-BreakEven-Analysis

Other Reports:

  • Yearly Financial Statements;
  • NPV & IRR Calculation;
  • Sales Report showing break-even of occupancy data;
  • Detailed Revenue report presenting income by unit types and facilities;
  • Gross Profit report for each income line, and overall;
  • Salary Breakdown report;
  • Marketplace Sales Breakdown, Revenue, and Profit reports.

Data Source

Finally, the Data Source will consolidate all data and inputs of your Hotel Financial Model. To emphasize, we do not recommend you make any manual changes in this section. However, if you are Excel-savvy to be able to modify the file structure, you can edit this section to create much more customized reports with your data.

Whether you’re planning promotional campaigns or anticipating seasonal fluctuations, the Hotel Feasibility Study provides a comprehensive analysis to guide your strategic and budget decisions.  Utilize our product to navigate the complexities of the hospitality market confidently, ensuring that your establishment is well-positioned for success, from room management to financial forecasting.

  9. Mona

  10. Mikkel Lysgaard

    Hi Someka

    First of all, thank you for your great website. I’m not sure if you can tell from my email, but i’ve used you many times to get ideas on self-improvement.

    Earlier this evening, I purchased your hotel financial model. Receiving process very smooth and easy.
    Unfortunately the excel returns me with some formula issues. I’m using “Numbers” from my Macbook. I have then opened it on my Windows PC, with the same issue.

    I can’t attach screenshots, but it’s 60% of the sheet has a mark in the corner, and when i change values or dates, it doesn’t update.

    My Excel versions are up to date. Maybe you have experienced this before and know how to solve it?
    Thanks

    • Someka

      Hi Mikkel,

      First of all, thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. Appreciated!

      It is hard to say something without seeing any screenshots or the file itself. To be able to understand where the issue is we need to see the file. Did you click the “Update Reports” button after you enter your data? This issue might be related to not clicking the Update Reports button so please try that first. If the issue continues, please contact us and send your file to be able to check it.

      By the way, we need to remind you that Numbers are not supported. So, you should use this template Microsoft Excel for Mac or Windows PC. Do your templates work at Mac?

      For further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

      Kindly regards,
