Transform Hospitality Performance with Smarter Budgeting and Planning Software
Running a hotel, restaurant, or leisure venue can be unpredictable. Multiple locations, seasonal shifts, and fluctuating operational costs make keeping budgets and forecasts accurate a constant challenge. Spreadsheets break, numbers can go missing, and decisions sometimes take longer than expected.
Budgeting Solutions helps hospitality businesses turn financial planning complexity into clarity. Using IBM Planning Analytics, we consolidate data from across your organisation, creating actionable insights and giving teams the confidence to plan reliably and efficiently.
Why Hospitality Businesses Need a More Agile Financial Planning Approach
Hospitality operations rarely go exactly as planned. High or low occupancy, special events, and unexpected costs can make predicting revenue and staffing tricky. Have you ever tried reconciling multiple spreadsheets across locations, only to realise something was off? That’s a familiar frustration for many finance teams.
Visibility across sites is often limited, and testing “what-if” scenarios, like launching a new menu, running a promotion, or responding to seasonal demand, can be slow and error-prone. Traditional approaches simply cannot keep up. Accurate hospitality budgeting helps teams stay on track, react quickly to change, and make informed decisions. Modern tools unify data, enable scenario-based forecasting, and provide clear, real-time insights for confident planning.

A Purpose-Built Planning Solution for Hotels, Restaurants, and Leisure Groups
Our hospitality planning software is built for the unique challenges of hospitality. IBM Planning Analytics allows you to plan across multiple sites and departments, model revenues, costs, payroll, and capital projects, and align finance with operations.
Picture a hotel group forecasting occupancy for multiple locations or predicting staffing needs during peak periods. Imagine a restaurant trialling menu changes or scheduling events without disrupting overall financial plans. By combining scenario flexibility with integrated planning, teams can make faster, more confident decisions, turning complex data into actionable insight rather than guesswork.
Teams can also leverage FP&A hospitality software to streamline reporting, connect operational performance with strategic goals, and get a clearer picture of their business
Built on IBM Planning Analytics – Trusted Technology, Customised for Hospitality
IBM Planning Analytics is secure, scalable, and connects seamlessly with PMS, POS, ERP, and HR systems. Real-time reporting makes it simple to track occupancy, revenue, costs, and staffing all in one place.
Rather than spending hours reconciling spreadsheets, teams can explore “what-if” scenarios instantly. How would a sudden large booking affect your staffing? What’s the financial impact of a promotion? This combination of proven technology and hospitality-specific configuration ensures decisions are faster, more confident, and accurate. It’s the ideal solution for hotel budgeting software and integrated financial planning.
From Discovery to Proof of Concept – Reduce Risk and Build Confidence
Trying a new system can feel overwhelming. That’s why Budgeting Solutions offers a proof-of-concept phase. Teams can test the software with their own operational data, spot bottlenecks, and validate scenarios before committing to a full rollout.
Simulating real-world situations helps businesses reduce risk, confirm that functionality meets their needs, and make smarter investment choices. Modernising planning has never been safer or more practical.
Implementation and Ongoing Support - Beyond Traditional Consultancy
We take an implementation-first approach. IBM Planning Analytics is configured to match your business requirements, and our managed service ensures ongoing support for long-term success.
Finance teams remain self-sufficient while still benefiting from expert guidance whenever needed. This approach delivers immediate improvements and sustainable operational gains, helping hospitality businesses maintain accuracy, agility, and scalability.
