Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion  Food revenue is $287,690, while beverage revenues are $78,981, in a 300-room hotel that runs 62.5% occupancy in the month of April. Fifty-four percent (54%) of food revenue was generated in the F&B outlets, while the remaining 46% was generated in banquets. Outlet food revenue was anticipated to account for 60% of revenue at a 29.5% food cost, while banquets were anticipated to generate 40% of revenue at a 22.5% food cost.
