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 Graz. Graz is a compact culture city with styriarte and Steirischer Herbst festivals and Advent markets in December. Conference guests and city-breakers from neighbouring countries fill weekends. I build festival and Advent premiums on a steady base. Visitors from Slovenia, Hungary and nearby regions often come for weekends, so Friday and Saturday pricing matters more than a general seasonal curve.
If you own an apartment in Graz, I map the year around styriarte, Steirischer Herbst, Advent and the university calendar, check your registration and tax setup, and then agree on a simple weekly and weekend rate plan you can actually run without second-guessing every booking.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Graz.
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.
Quiet weeks for leisure, so I lean on university visitors and midweek business guests, keep a sensible floor, and allow one night stays rather than blocking short bookings.
Spring city-breakers from Slovenia and Hungary return, so I lift weekends first and watch trade fair dates at the Messe Graz for midweek premiums.
styriarte concerts and long summer evenings push weekends up. I set two night minimums on festival weekends and keep midweek nights open for single-night culture visitors.
The Styrian wine harvest and Steirischer Herbst bring a second autumn wave. I raise weekends from September, especially for homes that suit guests heading south to the wine roads.
Advent turns the old town into a weekend destination. I price Fridays and Saturdays from late November as their own band and open them early for groups.

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!
Airbnb host
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 far it really is from the Hauptplatz and the tram lines, because Graz guests walk everywhere and a flat across the Mur in Lend competes differently from one in the Innere Stadt.
Busiest in Graz: May to September for the old town and the styriarte and Steirischer Herbst festivals, plus December for the Advent markets. November to December: Advent turns the old town into a weekend destination. I price Fridays and Saturdays from late November as their own band and open them early for groups. June to July: styriarte concerts and long summer evenings push weekends up. I set two night minimums on festival weekends and keep midweek nights open for single-night culture visitors. 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.
