Entering the forecast is the first step of the process prior to building our your roster for the week.
- Using the menu, navigate to "Forecast"
- Using the calendar function, select the week you wish to add the forecast figures to
Alkimii will always default to Today's date
- You will see the revenue dashboard view with all departments.
- Enter the net figures into the blank fields with the blue lines.
The fields in grey calculate automatically based on data entered into the blank line items.
Different departments may have different data requirements including:
- Number of Covers
- Numbers of Rooms Sold
- Sales Channel Revenue Only
- If you are adding your figures for accomodation, the sleeper density will need to be calculated based on the number of sleepers per room divded by the number of rooms.
For example, 45 sleepers ÷ 40 rooms = 1.13 sleeper density - To include only the total net figure for a department with covers, enter the total amount in the average spend line item and set the cover count to 1. Then if your system allocates covers, you can add the specific number of covers into the actuals on Alkimii.
- Once you are happy with the forecast entries for your department, please click "Save department"
Please note that this is a working document which means multiple users can be updating their departments at the same time.
We would advise saving your data regularly as you go.
- A name, time and date stamp will appear when you click save department along the bottom.
- If you wish to print and/or export the forecast once saved, click on the relevant options in the top right corner of the screen.
