Abstract
A budget is defined as a tool, guide, or a standard to control expenses. Budgeting is one of the most important planning activities of an Executive/Head Housekeeper. The front office department is mainly responsible for room sales and generating revenue. The housekeeping department forecasts the expenses required to generate the anticipated revenue. It is important that careful and efficient budgeting is done to control the operational expenses as well as to meet the financial goals of the hotel.
