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 Cornwall. Cornwall and Devon are school-holiday markets. Late July and August sell out Saturday to Saturday, May half-term and Easter are strong, and the shoulders belong to couples and dog owners. Second-home council tax premiums and the end of the holiday let tax regime have raised costs. I price summer weeks well and build short breaks for the rest of the year.
For a Cornwall or Devon owner I check the business rates position and running costs first, then build pricing around school holidays, Boardmasters and the long shoulders. We set changeover days, short-break rules and a winter plan, so the cottage earns beyond the six summer weeks everyone fights over.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Cornwall.
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.
I keep a sensible floor and offer three-night breaks for couples, walkers and dog owners, with February half-term priced as a small lift rather than a peak.
Easter and May half-term sell first. I price those weeks as premiums and keep the weeks between them open to short breaks and flexible changeovers.
Couples and families with pre-school children fill June, and the Falmouth sea shanty festival adds a weekend. I lift weekends and keep short stays available midweek.
School holidays and Boardmasters in early August around Newquay drive the peak. I hold fixed changeover days and refuse short stays that would break a week.
Surfers, couples and dog owners keep the coast alive. I move to short breaks, price October half-term higher and sell Christmas and New Year as one block.
Price late July and August weeks with fixed Saturday turnover.
Price Easter and May half-term as premiums.
Offer 3 and 4-night short breaks from September to June.
Price dog-friendly homes as a clear tier.
Review pricing against higher council tax and tax costs.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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

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!

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