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 New Braunfels: Tubing on the Comal and Guadalupe rivers; Schlitterbahn waterpark; Gruene Hall and the historic district; Wurstfest and Canyon Lake boating. Guests I price for: Texas families and friend groups from San Antonio, Austin and Houston on 2 to 4 night summer stays. Where I start: River-season premiums with weekend minimums, Wurstfest pricing, and winter floors.
New Braunfels hotels serve I-35 travellers, Schlitterbahn families and Wurstfest crowds, and summer Saturdays compress the whole corridor. Using my five-star hotel revenue background, I help set length-of-stay controls for peak weekends, rates for youth sports and corporate groups, and a comp set that includes San Marcos and the I-35 cluster rather than only the hotels downtown.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in New Braunfels.
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.
Running revenue for a New Braunfels hotel means planning around summer river weekends, Schlitterbahn families, Wurstfest in November and steady I-35 traffic between San Antonio and Austin. Summer Saturdays compress fast, while winter weekdays depend on business and sports groups. I manage rates, restrictions and group quotes around those patterns, so the hotel stops selling peak weekends too early and too cheaply.
My first task is a calendar with river season, Wurstfest, youth tournaments and Texas school breaks marked, so stay controls are in place before demand arrives.
Wassailfest downtown and Christmas weekends give early December some life; otherwise I quote weekly and monthly stays for relocating families and remote workers and keep floors that still cover cleaning.
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.
Cottages near Gruene Hall and the Gristmill sell music weekends to couples all year, so I price them with steadier rates and fewer deep winter cuts than river houses.
My full New Braunfels calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for New Braunfels.
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. Prices below are for a hotel of up to 20 rooms; larger hotels move up the size bands on the hotel plans page. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Pricing Strategy Setup | One-time, done first: market, comp set, room types and rates turned into your strategy | From $750 |
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | From $900/mo |

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 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 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 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.
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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels: December to February. December to February: Wassailfest downtown and Christmas weekends give early December some life; otherwise I quote weekly and monthly stays for relocating families and remote workers and keep floors that still cover cleaning. March to May: 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.
Accepting single Saturday nights in summer that block a whole weekend for a group and advertising Canyon Lake views or waterfront when the lake is far below normal. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in New Braunfels, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in New Braunfels, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. New Braunfels sells mostly through Vrbo, Airbnb and Booking.com. March to May: 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.
Gruene Historic District: Cottages near Gruene Hall and the Gristmill sell music weekends to couples all year, so I price them with steadier rates and fewer deep winter cuts than river houses. River Road on the Guadalupe and Canyon Lake 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.
Wurstfest and Canyon Lake boating, Tubing on the Comal and Guadalupe rivers and Schlitterbahn waterpark are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in New Braunfels. 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.
