Introduction to Budgeting and Forecasting 377 Case Study: Budgeting-Planning, Preparation, and Implementation The owners of a large restaurant have decided to implement an operat- ing budget for the next business year. A hospitality consultant has been engaged to develop the budget. There is a three-week deadline. The consultant gathers the restaurant's historical data and brings it to his office to prepare the final budget. The consultant and his staff concentrate their full-time efforts to accomplish this task. The consultant then submits the budget to the owners for review and approval. Management approves the consultant's work. The monthly budget amounts are computed by divid- ing the annual budget amounts by 12. These monthly budgets are then forwarded to the department heads; these managers will be responsible for the budget's implementation and accountable for their department's performance within the budget plan. Critique this budgetary process. Cite any positives and negatives in the budget's planning, preparation, and implementation.
