  20. Traditional versus Revenue-Based Deployment • Employs the concept that room sales are unique and that food and beverage sales are separate. • In this revenue-based deployment, managers who work in a sales (proactive revenue) capacity report to one leadership team member, and those that work in an operational capacity (reactive revenue) report to another. • This deployment creates the need for a Director of Operations.

Are the salaries the same? Why or why not? Figure 5-22
