Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Bend. Bend has two seasons, summer outdoors and Mount Bachelor skiing, with quiet shoulders. Guests are mostly Pacific Northwest families and groups on short stays. The city limits short-term rentals through permits and spacing rules, so permitted homes should be priced as scarce inventory.
If you own a Bend or Sunriver home, I start with the permit and the zone, then look at how your two seasons and your shoulders are priced. Together we set a year plan that protects winter holidays and summer weekends without leaving spring and November to chance.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Bend.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Mount Bachelor drives the weekends, so I keep Friday and Saturday firm, offer softer Sunday to Thursday rates and watch snowfall before releasing any late discounts.
Spring skiing overlaps with the first warm weekends; I allow two night stays, lower the midweek floor and price the Pole Pedal Paddle weekend a step above its neighbours.
I hold rates for river floating, the Cascade Lakes and outdoor concerts, and I keep a little flexibility in late August in case wildfire smoke slows short-notice demand.
Clear autumn weekends still sell to couples and beer travellers, so I keep weekend rates healthy and use midweek discounts rather than cutting the whole month.
Before the mountain opens, I go to one night minimums midweek, protect Thanksgiving as its own short peak and avoid dropping weekends below my set floor.
Once the lifts spin, Christmas to New Year becomes the top winter block, so I set longer minimums there and leave early December weekdays open for flexible ski trips.
Price June to September as the main season with 2 to 3-night stays.
Add Mount Bachelor holiday weeks as winter premiums.
Price Sunriver homes separately from Bend city homes.
Set April, May and November floors with short stays.
Confirm the permit before listing.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

Strong work!

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the home sits relative to Century Drive and the Old Mill District, since winter guests want the mountain road and summer guests want the river.
Busiest in Bend: June to September and the Mount Bachelor ski season from December to March. December: Once the lifts spin, Christmas to New Year becomes the top winter block, so I set longer minimums there and leave early December weekdays open for flexible ski trips. January to March: Mount Bachelor drives the weekends, so I keep Friday and Saturday firm, offer softer Sunday to Thursday rates and watch snowfall before releasing any late discounts. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Dual-season pricing, shoulder floors, and Bend's STR permit zoning. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Bend calendar before I make it. October: Clear autumn weekends still sell to couples and beer travellers, so I keep weekend rates healthy and use midweek discounts rather than cutting the whole month.
Guests are mostly Pacific Northwest families and groups on short stays. The city limits short-term rentals through permits and spacing rules, so permitted homes should be priced as scarce inventory. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Bend.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bend the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Mount Bachelor holiday weeks as winter premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Bend sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to May: Spring skiing overlaps with the first warm weekends; I allow two night stays, lower the midweek floor and price the Pole Pedal Paddle weekend a step above its neighbours. For hotel revenue management consulting in Bend, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Bend, not the city. Price Sunriver homes separately from Bend city homes. Next: confirm the permit before listing.
Sunriver: A resort community south of town with bike paths and pools; I price it for week-long family summers and follow its owners association rules closely. Old Bend and Drake Park and Northwest Crossing and the westside get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Bend, not the market average.
