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 Chattanooga. Chattanooga and Knoxville are regional weekend markets with big football and outdoor events. Tennessee home games fill Knoxville, while Chattanooga sells outdoor tourism, Ironman and Riverbend. Some Knoxville demand also spills over from the Smokies. I price each city on its own event calendar.
For owners in Chattanooga or Knoxville, I review your city's rules, how your event and game weekends are priced and how the quieter months are handled. Then we build a plan that follows each city's own calendar rather than one regional average.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Chattanooga.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Visitors thin out, so I lower floors in both cities, allow one night stays and keep weekly rates for travelling workers.
Spring outdoor trips and Knoxville's Dogwood Arts festival lift weekends, so I price those dates and keep weekdays flexible.
Riverbend fills Chattanooga's riverfront, so I price festival nights highest near downtown and keep summer weekends strong in both cities.
Heat slows demand, so I keep weekend rates for river and lake visitors and use weekly offers for families heading to the mountains.
Volunteer home games, Ironman and the Head of the Hooch regatta fill weekends, so I price each event date individually and open them early.
Holiday visits create a few good weekends, so I price those and keep midweek rates low for the rest of the month.
Price Tennessee Volunteers home games as premiums in Knoxville.
Add Ironman Chattanooga and Riverbend as event premiums.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in the outdoor season.
Price Knoxville homes near the Smokies for overflow demand.
Lower January and February 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.

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 close a Knoxville home is to Neyland Stadium, since walk-to-game homes can price game days far above homes that need a drive and parking.
Busiest in Chattanooga: April to October, with Tennessee home-game weekends, Riverbend Festival and Ironman. June: Riverbend fills Chattanooga's riverfront, so I price festival nights highest near downtown and keep summer weekends strong in both cities. September to November: Volunteer home games, Ironman and the Head of the Hooch regatta fill weekends, so I price each event date individually and open them early. 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.
Game-day and event premiums, outdoor-season weekend rates, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Chattanooga calendar before I make it. July to August: Heat slows demand, so I keep weekend rates for river and lake visitors and use weekly offers for families heading to the mountains.
Chattanooga and Knoxville are regional weekend markets with big football and outdoor events. Tennessee home games fill Knoxville, while Chattanooga sells outdoor tourism, Ironman and Riverbend. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Chattanooga.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Chattanooga the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Ironman Chattanooga and Riverbend as event premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Chattanooga sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to May: Spring outdoor trips and Knoxville's Dogwood Arts festival lift weekends, so I price those dates and keep weekdays flexible. For hotel revenue management consulting in Chattanooga, 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 Chattanooga, not the city. Use 2-night weekend minimums in the outdoor season. Next: lower January and February floors.
Knoxville Fort Sanders and the Old City: Close to campus and the stadium; I price home game weekends highest and keep weekday rates for university visitors. Chattanooga North Shore and Southside and Lookout Mountain get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Chattanooga, not the market average.
