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 New Braunfels. New Braunfels is a river town with a hard summer edge. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Texas groups arrive to tube the Comal and the Guadalupe, ride Schlitterbahn and two-step at Gruene Hall, and then the season stops almost overnight. Wurstfest gives early November a second peak and Canyon Lake adds boating demand. I price access to the water as the main product, hold weekend minimums firmly, and check river flow and lake levels every week in summer.
With a New Braunfels owner I start by sorting the home into river, Gruene or Canyon Lake, then we agree summer minimums, group pricing and extra guest fees together. We map Wurstfest, spring break and fair dates, and I hand you a plan you can run yourself, with notes on what to check each week when flows change.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in New Braunfels.
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.
In a New Braunfels hotel review I often find summer Saturdays sold out weeks ahead at rates that left money behind, and Wurstfest priced like any November weekend. I look at length-of-stay controls, group contracts for sports teams and how the hotel competes with properties along I-35 in San Marcos and Schertz, which usually shows where pricing has been too cautious.
My first recommendations cover summer Saturday restrictions, a Wurstfest pricing plan and a comp set that matches where guests really choose between hotels.
Spring break and warm April weekends bring early tubers to the spring-fed Comal, which stays cool all year, so I lift those Saturdays without opening full summer rates.
I hold weekend minimums, price Saturdays for parties of eight or more, and charge for extra guests above a set number so larger groups pay for the cleaning and wear they bring.
Tubing outfitters and cypress-lined banks below Canyon Dam make this the summer group product; I price weekends hard and protect larger homes with three-night minimums in July.
My full New Braunfels calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for New Braunfels.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.

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!

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 the listing handles group size, parking for several cars and river rules, since friend groups from Austin and Houston often arrive in three vehicles and neighbours notice quickly.
Busiest in New Braunfels: Memorial Day to Labor Day river season, plus Wurstfest in early November. Memorial Day to Labor Day: I hold weekend minimums, price Saturdays for parties of eight or more, and charge for extra guests above a set number so larger groups pay for the cleaning and wear they bring. November: Wurstfest crowds fill homes near Landa Park and downtown first, so I price walkable homes highest that week, then let Thanksgiving carry family stays around Canyon Lake. 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.
River-season premiums with weekend minimums, Wurstfest pricing, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the New Braunfels calendar before I make it. September to October: Once school starts, river weekends shrink to couples and small groups; I shorten stays, lift the Gruene Music and Wine Fest and Comal County Fair dates, and price weekdays for remote workers.
New Braunfels is a river town with a hard summer edge. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Texas groups arrive to tube the Comal and the Guadalupe, ride Schlitterbahn and two-step at Gruene Hall, and then the season stops almost overnight. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in New Braunfels.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In New Braunfels the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use 2 or 3-night weekend minimums from Memorial Day to Labor Day and hold Fourth of July week for full stays. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
New Braunfels sells mostly through Vrbo, Airbnb and Booking.com. Memorial Day to Labor Day: I hold weekend minimums, price Saturdays for parties of eight or more, and charge for extra guests above a set number so larger groups pay for the cleaning and wear they bring. For hotel revenue management consulting in New Braunfels, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in New Braunfels, not the city. Price the ten days of Wurstfest in early November as a separate event, with Friday and Saturday nights highest. Next: price Canyon Lake homes on ramp access, lake level and room for a boat trailer, not on distance to Gruene.
Canyon Lake: Lake homes northwest of the city that depend on ramps, coves and water levels; I price them for families who bring boats and adjust quickly when the lake runs low. Gruene Historic District and River Road on the Guadalupe get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of New Braunfels, not the market average.
