This will change on a weekly basis - do not keep it the same each week.
Budgeting is important but remember it is also estimating at this point of the project.
Try to have money in reserve for the unexpected
Be sensible with your amounts - research this to be accurate as possible (remember that hospitality often buys in bulk and therefore has large savings on items such as crockery/cutlery etc)
IF it appears you are going to go OVER the budget - review your amounts to ensure you stay within the allocated amounts.
At week 4 there is an area for notations of how you have made adjustments or corrections to the budget should you seem to be going OVER the budget. Use this.
