Alaa Elhadi and the Revenuenaire team are working revenue management experts, not analysts with a slide deck. They audit your pricing, distribution and forecasting, write a strategy your team can run, and stay on if you want them to run it. Remote, worldwide, fixed scope.
Revenue management is led by Alaa Elhadi, a hotel revenue management consultant with 18 years in the role: first inside international five-star hotel chains, then for independent hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in 79 countries, with a master certificate in Revenue Management from Cornell University. The team around him are revenue management experts who still set rates every day for the hotels and portfolios Revenuenaire manages.
That matters because a consultant who no longer prices rooms drifts toward theory. We test every recommendation on live inventory before it reaches your strategy document, and we built Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing, the engine our own clients use, so the advice comes with the tools to run it.
Who we consult for
Consultant credentials
Six areas of work. Take one as a fixed-scope project or combine them into a full revenue strategy.
The consultant reads 12 to 24 months of reservations, rates, restrictions and channel costs, shops your comp set and interviews whoever prices rooms today. You get every revenue gap ranked by value.
Rate architecture per room type, BAR ladders tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars, lead-time and day-of-week rules, and length-of-stay pricing your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what net rate, with which promotions. Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Trip.com, Google Hotel Ads, GDS, wholesale and direct, planned as one mix that protects margin.
A 12-month demand forecast by segment, an annual budget, weekly pace and pickup reports, and an owner and GM reporting pack showing occupancy, ADR and RevPAR against budget and last year.
Independent advice on revenue management systems, channel managers, rate shoppers and booking engines, then configuration once you choose. No vendor pays us, so the advice is only about fit.
Workshops for your revenue manager, front office or sales team, standard operating procedures, and an interim consultant who runs revenue while you hire or during an opening.
The six things that separate a consultant who improves RevPAR from one who writes a report.
Alaa held the revenue manager seat in five-star chains and still sets rates daily for the hotels the team manages. We recommend only what we have run ourselves.
You know the deliverables, the timeline and the fee before work starts. No hourly meters and no scope creep.
Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing was written by our revenue management experts. Few consultants have shipped the software as well as the strategy.
No commissions from RMS, channel manager or OTA partners. When we recommend a system, it is because it fits your hotel.
Hotels in 79 countries, all served remotely with read-only system access and working sessions scheduled around your team.
The audit report states the expected revenue range for your property. Across clients the average RevPAR lift is 38 percent in the following year.
The four steps we recommend whether you hire us or someone else.
Flat RevPAR, no revenue manager, an opening, a renovation, or an owner who wants an independent view. The problem sets the scope.
Day 1
Ask which hotels they have priced daily, in which markets, and what changed. Ask for reviews you can verify, not case studies you cannot.
Before the call
A good consultant writes down what you will receive, when, and for how much. We do this after a free scoping chat, in the chat or by email.
Week 1
PMS, channel manager and extranets in read-only mode. The audit runs two to three weeks and the strategy follows in week four.
Weeks 2 to 4
The answers separate people who have priced hotels from people who have read about it. We answer all six in the first call.
Three ways to get revenue management expertise into a hotel, compared on the things that decide the outcome.
| Option | People | Scope | Systems | After the engagement | Cost model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance consultant | One person, availability varies | Often hourly, open-ended | Depends on the individual | Ends when the contract ends | Hourly or day rate |
| In-house revenue manager | One hire, one skill set | Daily decisions, limited strategy time | Learns your stack over months | Leaves when they leave | Salary, benefits, recruitment |
| Alaa and the Revenuenaire team | A team led by an 18-year, Cornell-certified revenue manager | Fixed scope, written deliverables | PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, Cloudbeds, SiteMinder and our own engine | Trained team, SOPs, optional managed plan | Fixed project fee or monthly plan |
Need daily decisions made for you rather than a project? The same team runs revenue on a monthly plan through hotel revenue management plans.
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

A hotel revenue management consultant audits how a hotel prices, restricts, distributes and forecasts its rooms, then delivers the strategy, calendar, reports and training needed to earn more from the same inventory. Typical deliverables are a revenue audit with gaps ranked by value, a rate architecture per room type, a 12-month pricing and restriction calendar, a distribution and OTA strategy, a forecast and budget process, and team training. Alaa's team also runs revenue day to day through managed hotel revenue management plans.
Freelance consultants usually charge an hourly or day rate. Alaa quotes a fixed project fee after a free scoping chat, based on room count, room types, channels and the scope you choose. A revenue audit with strategy roadmap for an independent hotel is one fixed fee; training days and monthly check-ins are priced separately. Managed revenue management is a monthly plan priced by hotel size, from $650, with no long lock-in.
Look for someone who has held the revenue manager seat and priced hotels daily, not only advised. Ask which markets and property types they have worked in, whether they take vendor commissions, what you will receive in writing, and who trains your team afterwards. Verify reviews you can check yourself. Alaa Elhadi has 18 years across five-star chains and independent hotels, a Cornell revenue management certificate, takes no vendor commissions and has 1,463 verifiable five-star reviews.
They solve different problems. An in-house revenue manager makes daily decisions but rarely has time for a strategic reset, and the knowledge leaves when they do. A consultant delivers the audit, strategy and training in a fixed engagement and leaves your team stronger. Many hotels use both: a consultant to build the strategy and train the team, then either an in-house manager or a managed plan from Alaa's team to run it.
Yes, and they are the majority of our hotel clients. A 20 to 120 room independent hotel rarely has a revenue manager, so pricing is done by the owner or GM between other duties. A one-off audit and strategy typically finds 10 to 25 percent of rooms revenue, and the calendar we leave behind keeps working without a monthly fee.
Every engagement is remote. The consultant works with read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and OTA extranets, shops your comp set online and holds working sessions on Zoom in your time zone. Alaa has consulted for hotels in 79 countries this way and it removes travel from the fee.
Your audit report states the expected revenue range before you commit to implementation. Across clients the average RevPAR lift is 38 percent over the following year, driven by rate architecture, restrictions and channel mix rather than discounting. Results depend on how much of the strategy your team runs, which is why training and SOPs are part of every engagement.
