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 Brisbane. Brisbane is a corporate and events city growing toward the 2032 Olympics, while the Sunshine Coast and Noosa are family beach markets. Noosa is full over Christmas, and Queensland school holidays drive the coast. I price the city for business and the coast by the week.
Whether you own a Brisbane apartment, a Noosa holiday home or both, I review how each is priced against its own competitors, check permits and building rules, and build a year plan that treats the city and the coast as separate businesses with their own targets.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Brisbane.
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.

Coastal homes stay full until Queensland schools go back, so I keep seven-night blocks on the Sunshine Coast and avoid breaking them up for a single late enquiry.
Once school resumes the coast goes quiet, so I open shorter stays, target couples from Brisbane for weekends and let city apartments lean on returning corporate weekdays.
I load Easter and the autumn school break as a single holiday band with a four or five night minimum on the coast, and price it early because families plan around it.
I trim weekday rates on the coast, offer gentle weekly discounts for retirees and drive-market visitors, and keep Brisbane rates steady for conference and business guests.
Dry, mild weather brings winter escapees from the south, then spring holidays and Noosa event weekends. I price those weekends individually instead of letting a flat shoulder rate cover them.
Noosa and Mooloolaba book out well ahead, so I set firm minimums from mid-December and never offer last-minute discounts that the market simply does not need.
Price Noosa Christmas and school holidays with minimum stays.
Use weekly stays on the coast.
Set weekday corporate rates in Brisbane.
Add Noosa Triathlon and Food & Wine weekends.
Lower February and May to June floors.
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. 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!

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 a Brisbane apartment's weekday rate compares with nearby serviced apartments in the CBD, South Brisbane and Fortitude Valley, since corporate bookers compare those first.
Busiest in Brisbane: School holidays, Easter, and September to November events, with Noosa at capacity over Christmas. December: Noosa and Mooloolaba book out well ahead, so I set firm minimums from mid-December and never offer last-minute discounts that the market simply does not need. January: Coastal homes stay full until Queensland schools go back, so I keep seven-night blocks on the Sunshine Coast and avoid breaking them up for a single late enquiry. 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.
School-holiday premiums, weekly coastal pricing, and corporate midweek rates. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Brisbane calendar before I make it. May to June: I trim weekday rates on the coast, offer gentle weekly discounts for retirees and drive-market visitors, and keep Brisbane rates steady for conference and business guests.
Noosa is full over Christmas, and Queensland school holidays drive the coast. I price the city for business and the coast by the week. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Brisbane.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Brisbane the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use weekly stays on the coast. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Brisbane sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Stayz (Vrbo). February to March: Once school resumes the coast goes quiet, so I open shorter stays, target couples from Brisbane for weekends and let city apartments lean on returning corporate weekdays. For hotel revenue management consulting in Brisbane, 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 Brisbane, not the city. Set weekday corporate rates in Brisbane. Next: lower February and May to June floors.
Fortitude Valley and South Brisbane: Close to concert venues, the convention centre and Southbank, so I price weekdays for business and weekends for event crowds as separate patterns. Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach and Mooloolaba and Maroochydore get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Brisbane, not the market average.
For hotel revenue management consulting, consulting gives you an independent view and a plan your own team can run, without handing the daily decisions to anyone. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Brisbane and work remotely in Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10).

The scope of hotel revenue management consulting is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Brisbane I would start from December: Noosa and Mooloolaba book out well ahead, so I set firm minimums from mid-December and never offer last-minute discounts that the market simply does not need.
