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 Manchester, UK. Manchester is priced by fixtures and concerts. United and City home games, Co-op Live and Old Trafford shows can turn an ordinary Saturday into one of the best nights of the month, and many guests stay just one or two nights. Midweeks rely on business and conference travel. I build the calendar from the fixture list and the concert schedule.
For Manchester owners I check building rules, transport links to each venue and weekday demand, then build a calendar that covers football, concerts, conferences and Christmas. I look at which apartment blocks the property genuinely competes with and set out a plan the owner can follow week by week, including what to do when fixtures move for television.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Manchester, UK.
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.
Fixtures and arena shows still create good nights, so I price those individually and give the plain weeknights a corporate floor instead of chasing leisure guests who are not travelling.
Cup runs and the end of the league season can add fixtures at short notice, so I review the fixture list weekly and lift any new home date the moment it is confirmed.
Parklife at Heaton Park, summer stadium tours at the Etihad and Old Trafford, and Pride over the August bank holiday drive the season, with each weekend priced on its own events.
Students return, conferences fill Manchester Central and European nights add midweek demand, so I price Tuesdays and Wednesdays more confidently than in most UK cities at this time.
The Christmas markets around Piccadilly Gardens and Exchange Square fill weekends from mid-November, so I raise Saturday floors and offer Friday and Saturday together as a package.
Load Premier League and European fixtures as soon as they are published and price each match day.
Add Co-op Live, AO Arena and stadium concert dates individually.
Allow 1-night stays on event nights, priced to cover turnover.
Set midweek corporate rates in the city centre.
Price Parklife and Pride weekends as premiums.
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

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the apartment block allows short lets and how the concierge handles late arrivals, since many city-centre buildings have strict rules that can cause problems on busy concert nights.
