What it does

A small inn runs on room nights and food cost. The margin lives in the difference between what you paid the vendor and what you charged the guest. This workbook holds the room rate card, the reservation calendar, a guest CRM for repeat bookings, and a breakfast food-cost tab that tracks the actual plate cost by menu item. The monthly P&L ties it all together.
