Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Kraków: Old Town and Kazimierz tourism; Auschwitz and Wieliczka day trips; Stag and group travel; Conferences and student calendar. Guests I price for: UK and European travellers on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Weekend and group premiums, winter floors, and per-bedroom positioning in a high-supply Old Town.
Kraków hotels juggle leisure city-breakers, coach tours heading to Wieliczka and Auschwitz, and congress delegates. Drawing on my five-star hotel years, I help them plan group allotments, set rates for congress weeks at ICE Kraków and TAURON Arena events, and protect summer weekends for higher-paying guests.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Kraków.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Kraków has a lot of Old Town supply and strong weekend demand from UK and European visitors, including groups. Day trips to Auschwitz and Wieliczka keep visitors coming all year. Per-bedroom positioning and weekend rules matter most. Many visitors combine the city with day trips, so they value a central base and easy early departures. Location near transport to those trips is worth reflecting in the price.”

I keep the floor stable, add weekly rates and lean on weekend city-breakers from the UK, since cutting weekday rates too far rarely brings many extra bookings.
Easter and the May long weekend give me strong dates, so I price them individually and allow two-night stays on ordinary spring weekends.
The Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz and summer tourism push demand up; I price weekends and festival dates firmly and keep group rules clear.
Conferences at ICE Kraków and the student year bring weekday demand, so I hold weekday rates and keep weekend premiums for city-breakers.
The Christmas market on the Main Square lifts December weekends, so I price them above November and keep New Year's Eve as a separate premium.
Price weekends above weekdays with 2-night minimums.
Set group rules and pricing for larger flats.
Price Christmas markets and May long weekends as premiums.
Position flats by bedroom count against Old Town comps.
Hold winter floors.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

Busiest in Kraków: April to October and the Christmas markets, with Easter and long weekends in May. June to August: The Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz and summer tourism push demand up; I price weekends and festival dates firmly and keep group rules clear. September to October: Conferences at ICE Kraków and the student year bring weekday demand, so I hold weekday rates and keep weekend premiums for city-breakers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How the listing compares with flats of the same bedroom count in the Old Town or Kazimierz, since guests in Kraków filter by bedrooms and location before price.
Price Christmas markets and May long weekends as premiums. Next: hold winter floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Kraków property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Kraków: January to February. January to February: I keep the floor stable, add weekly rates and lean on weekend city-breakers from the UK, since cutting weekday rates too far rarely brings many extra bookings. March to May: Easter and the May long weekend give me strong dates, so I price them individually and allow two-night stays on ordinary spring weekends.
Old Town and Kazimierz priced from one comp set and winter discounts too deep. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Kraków, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Kraków, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Kraków sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. March to May: Easter and the May long weekend give me strong dates, so I price them individually and allow two-night stays on ordinary spring weekends.
Old Town (Stare Miasto): The Main Square and Floriańska Street, with many competing flats; I price by bedrooms and position strong weekend rates rather than discounting in a crowded market. Kazimierz and Podgórze get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Conferences and student calendar, Old Town and Kazimierz tourism and Auschwitz and Wieliczka day trips are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Kraków. November to December: The Christmas market on the Main Square lifts December weekends, so I price them above November and keep New Year's Eve as a separate premium.
