Department Dashboard for a Hospitality Company
Purpose of Departmental Dashboards Hospitality companies use Departmental Dashboards to give managers an easily readable and quick snapshot of the key revenue and expense indicators. When used as part of good business practices by FP&A and by Department Managers, a company can improve its cost - and profit center tactics, and it can reduce the chances that over- or under performance in any particular department go undetected.
