What specific assumptions are you struggling with?
Mostly some miscellaneous revenue like a spa and retail, then operating expenses. I know the expenses are based on either a fixed dollar amount, %, POR, or PAR of their revenue, but to really take a deep dive into things like housekeeping labor or A&G is where I get stuck. What sources do you use to predict things like staffing and wages?
