Profit from revised motel menu (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emolument

'profit' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Profit of employment' mean 'emolument' so perhaps 'profit' could also mean 'emolument')

'revised motel menu' is the wordplay.
'revised' is an anagram indicator.
'motel'+'menu'='motelmenu'
'motelmenu' anagrammed gives 'EMOLUMENT'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for emolument that I've seen before include "Compensation paid" , "profit results" , "Profit of employment" , "A fee received, salary" , "payment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
