Operational turnaround
A line by line audit of the P&L and balance sheet, isolating where revenue and margin leaks in labour, procurement, distribution and departmental cost, with a costed plan to recover it.
Services
Four connected areas of practice, covering the full life of a hotel asset. Owners engage us for a single piece of work, or for all four as one programme.
1
The running of the asset, and the oversight that protects it
A line by line audit of the P&L and balance sheet, isolating where revenue and margin leaks in labour, procurement, distribution and departmental cost, with a costed plan to recover it.
Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, TRevPAR and GOPPAR reviewed against budget and competitive set, covering market mix, distribution and pricing, plus cash flow and break even modelling.
Menu engineering, pricing and outlet positioning, with supplier, raw material and labour cost control, turning outlets that drain the P&L into outlets that carry their own margin.
Conference and function yield, labour cost and pipeline management, with a review of how the space is sold, priced and marketed.
Analysing capital expenditure and identifying areas for renovation based on what actually moves rate, occupancy and cost. We challenge brand mandated spend that serves the flag more than the owner, and plan delivery around a live operation.
Pre-opening budgets covering timing, expense and manpower, systems set up, staff training and brand standard readiness, ensuring the hotel runs smoothly from the first guest.
Monthly performance meetings with the operator, budgets scrutinised for manpower and productivity, OSE and FF&E planning, cash management and franchisor compliance.
Review, structure and negotiation of management and franchise terms, covering fees, performance tests, control and exit rights, including operator and brand selection.
2
Making the operation faster, leaner and more consistent
Review of property management, point of sale, booking and distribution systems for gaps, duplication and unnecessary cost, then mapping where automation and AI systems can improve the operations of the hotel.
Sourcing, supplying and implementing hotel service robots, under our brand or the property’s own, with software, staff training and implementation support.
Workflows mapped end to end to expose bottlenecks and throughput time, tightening standard operating procedures, speed of service, waste and rostering efficiency.
3
Where the asset sits in its market, and where it should be heading
Market demand and feasibility work covering demand drivers, competitive set and viability, so a decision to build, buy or reposition rests on evidence rather than optimism.
Concept, positioning and priorities refined into a plan stakeholders can align behind, with customer experience audit and input into design and layout decisions.
Positioning advice so the property competes on product, segment and service rather than discounting rate, including which brand genuinely suits the asset.
Performance benchmarked against comparable properties by class, size and location, with the KPIs and loyalty measures that make progress visible month to month.
4
Support through the largest financial decisions in the life of a hotel
Operational due diligence covering trading performance, cost base, management agreement terms and CAPEX status, working alongside your lawyers, valuers and inspectors.
Advice on purchase structure, data room set up, financial modelling and the acquisition checklist through to completion, so ownership changes hands without guests noticing.
An indicative view of what a hotel asset is likely to be worth, giving owners an informed starting point. Indicative only, and not a replacement for a certified valuation.
A dedicated platform for listing, discovering and transacting hotel assets, with our team supporting the process from first interest through to settlement.
