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 Leeds: York Racecourse meetings; York Christmas market; Leeds Festival; Yorkshire Dales and Moors summer. Guests I price for: UK weekend visitors and groups on 1 to 3 night stays, families on Dales weekly stays. Where I start: Race-day and festival premiums, group minimums in York, and cottage weekly pricing.
For hotels and serviced apartments in Leeds and York I work on corporate rate structure, race-day and Christmas rate fences and group handling, drawing on my years in five-star chain hotel revenue to balance business and leisure demand week to week.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Leeds.
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.
“Leeds and York are three markets: York races and Christmas, Leeds Festival and city events, and Yorkshire Dales cottages. York attracts weekend groups, especially on race days. I price race days and festivals, and run Dales cottages by the week.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
York keeps a trickle of weekend history lovers and the Jorvik Viking Festival in February, so I price that week up and use simple midweek offers for the rest.
Racing returns to the Knavesmire in May with the Dante meeting, and Headingley cricket starts; I price those days as individual premiums and keep ordinary weekends steady.
The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city.
University return and graduation fill Leeds and York with parents, so I price those weekends to that guest, who books early and wants calm, comfortable stays near campus.
St Nicholas Fair and the York Christmas market make December weekends the strongest of the year in York, so I set two-night minimums and sell Friday and Saturday together.
Price York Racecourse meetings as premiums with group rules.
Add Leeds Festival weekend in August.
Price York Christmas market weekends.

Lower January and February 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 |
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!

Busiest in Leeds: York Races and Christmas market, Leeds Festival in August, and summer in the Yorkshire Dales. July to August: The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city. November to December: St Nicholas Fair and the York Christmas market make December weekends the strongest of the year in York, so I set two-night minimums and sell Friday and Saturday together. 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 race-day bookings are handled, including deposit, occupancy and noise rules, because Knavesmire groups can fill a house quickly and the owner needs clear protection before the date opens.
Price York Christmas market weekends. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Leeds 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 Leeds: January to February. January to February: York keeps a trickle of weekend history lovers and the Jorvik Viking Festival in February, so I price that week up and use simple midweek offers for the rest. March to June: Racing returns to the Knavesmire in May with the Dante meeting, and Headingley cricket starts; I price those days as individual premiums and keep ordinary weekends steady.
Groups without rules in York and cottages priced like city flats. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Leeds, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Leeds, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Leeds sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Sykes. March to June: Racing returns to the Knavesmire in May with the Dante meeting, and Headingley cricket starts; I price those days as individual premiums and keep ordinary weekends steady.
York inside the city walls: The Minster, the Shambles and the station within walking distance make this the premium York area; I hold weekend rates firm and price race and Christmas dates highest. Leeds city centre and Headingley 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.
Yorkshire Dales and Moors summer, York Racecourse meetings and York Christmas market are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Leeds. November to December: St Nicholas Fair and the York Christmas market make December weekends the strongest of the year in York, so I set two-night minimums and sell Friday and Saturday together.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Leeds I would start from July to August: The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city.
