Quick Summary
Hotel expenses like napkins, sign boards, umbrellas, housekeeping items and crockery are generally booked under maintenance or housekeeping expenses. Proper classification can be done by categories like kitchen, cleaning or room maintenance for better cost control.

All 1 to 6 will go towards the head > Hotel Maintenance Expenses.

You can bifurcate as per some criteria - Eg. Kitchen Maintenance Expense , Cleaning Expenses, Garden / Lawn maintenance expenses, Lift Maintenance expense, Room maintenance Expense. This shall serve as a base for future comparisons. You can create cost centres if required. This will help in knowing profit / loss cost centre wise.

I think Before you see Balance Sheet & P/L A/c of Previous year. this type expenses all ready  will be made. If have New Hotel, above Mr. Raj  c Doshi is right.

Thanks

Doormat purchase

Under which head of account it will go

This industry is conceptual under hotel management, 

Normal cost accounting will work out.

But find out your software requirements and books are maintained

Invoices are separated into many heads like Mr. Raj C Doshi is explaining.

But it is funny how they treat sales receipts as guest ledger accouning though. 

Hi Sambit, it falls under maintenance expenses 

Mr.Raj C. Doshi suggession is correct way. 

I HAVE PURCHASE WOODEN PALLETS 

CAN U TELL ME UNDER WHICH EXPENSE I HAVE TO TAKE IN TALLY

There are ways to categorise it. If it is a long lived asset, say 3 years

it is indirect expense if it is not used in production

it is direct expense if it aids in production

it is indirect expense if it is related to maintenance and repairs as consumables purchased will be expensed

it is also a direct expense if these wooden pallets are recognised initially in the PPE carrying amount, Thus, these will be treated as replacement part and recognition criteria will be met.
