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 Cody. Cody is Yellowstone's east gateway, and its season is short and intense. Guests stay one to three nights before entering the park, watch the nightly rodeo and move on. July and August are full, winter is nearly dormant. I price summer tightly and plan winter with monthly rates.
For a Cody owner I look at the whole season as roughly sixteen weeks that pay for the year. Together we set target rates for each of those weeks, plan how to handle the Stampede and holiday dates, and decide what winter should look like, whether that is monthly tenants or a planned closure.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Cody.
