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 Lake of the Ozarks. Lake of the Ozarks is a summer lake market for Kansas City and St. Louis. July 4th is the peak, and dock access, boat slips and lake views decide most of the price difference between homes. Winter is long and quiet. I price summer by features and weekends, and keep winter simple.
For Lake of the Ozarks owners I value the dock, the cove and the mile marker before anything else, then plan summer weeks, event weekends and the long winter. The result is a calendar that charges properly for water features and keeps the off-season from sitting empty.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake of the Ozarks.
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.

The lake is still and many restaurants close. I keep weekend rates low, offer weekly and monthly discounts, and target contractors, remote workers and eagle-watching weekends.
Docks go back in and weekends start to fill. I shorten minimum stays, open Memorial Day as a three-night block and advertise boat slip access before summer searches begin.
July 4th is the top week, and the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in late August is a separate spike. I run Saturday-to-Saturday weeks on large homes and two-night weekends elsewhere.
Bikefest and Labor Day carry September, then golf weekends follow. I lower midweek rates once schools are back and keep event weekends priced as events.
Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings suit big lake homes. I price those weeks up and leave the rest of the season on low floors with short stays.
Price July 4th week as the top band with long stays.
Charge clearly for docks, boat slips and lakefront access.
Use weekend and weekly summer pricing.
Shorten minimum stays in spring and autumn.
Set low winter floors with weekend stays.
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.

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!
