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 Charlotte. Charlotte is a banking city first. Corporate travel fills weekdays, and conventions add more. Weekends come from Panthers games, NASCAR race weeks and outdoor visitors to the Whitewater Center. The Coca-Cola 600 over Memorial Day weekend is the standout. I build strong corporate weekday pricing and treat race and game weekends as events.
For Charlotte owners, I review how your rental balances corporate weekdays, event weekends and monthly stays, and how your big race and golf weeks are priced. Then we agree a plan that protects weekday business, lifts event weekends and keeps summer and winter from going flat.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Charlotte.
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.

Corporate weekdays carry the season, so I protect weekday rates near Uptown and South End and lower weekend floors for leisure visitors.
Spring conventions and warmer weekends at the Whitewater Center bring more guests, so I firm up Saturdays and keep weekday rates aimed at business travel.
The Quail Hollow golf tournament and the Memorial Day race weekend make May the city's strongest month, so I price each event individually and open them early.
Heat slows leisure, so I keep weekday corporate rates firm, add weekly offers for interns and relocations, and ease weekend floors.
Football, the autumn race and the December college championship games fill weekends, so I price each date by the schedule and keep holiday weeks separate.
Set weekday corporate rates for homes near Uptown and South End.
Price Coca-Cola 600 weekend and the October race as event premiums.
Add Panthers home games as date premiums.
Offer monthly rates for corporate projects and relocations.
Lower January and February weekend 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.

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. Whether the listing offers clean invoices and work-ready features, since banking and corporate guests need both before they consider the rate.
Busiest in Charlotte: Panthers season, NASCAR race weeks in May and October, and spring and autumn conventions. May: The Quail Hollow golf tournament and the Memorial Day race weekend make May the city's strongest month, so I price each event individually and open them early. September to December: Football, the autumn race and the December college championship games fill weekends, so I price each date by the schedule and keep holiday weeks separate. 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.
Race-week premiums, corporate rate cards, and weekend event pricing. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Charlotte calendar before I make it.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
