Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Omaha, United States, one to one, remotely and in Central Time (UTC-6). In Omaha, I price June (College World Series) as the peak and January to March as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

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 Omaha: The Men's College World Series at Charles Schwab Field; The Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting; CHI Health Center conventions and concerts; Henry Doorly Zoo and Old Market tourism. Guests I price for: Baseball families and fans on stays of up to two weeks, shareholders for the Berkshire weekend, and midweek business travellers. Where I start: College World Series pricing that follows the bracket, Berkshire weekend premiums, and winter floors.
Omaha hotels juggle group blocks for conventions, team and media rooms for the College World Series and a shareholder weekend that sells out downtown. From my five-star hotel revenue background I help with release dates for team blocks, length-of-stay controls for both peaks and a comp set that separates downtown from the western business corridor.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Omaha.
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 an Omaha hotel means planning around two very different peaks. The Berkshire Hathaway weekend in early May fills downtown with shareholders, while the Men's College World Series brings teams, media and fans for most of June. Weekdays depend on conventions at the CHI Health Center, UNMC visitors and corporate travel. I manage each segment separately.
My first step is to review last year's Berkshire and College World Series performance by day, then set length-of-stay controls for both peaks.
Creighton basketball at the CHI Health Center, conventions and medical travel keep weekdays alive, so I protect a winter floor and offer 14 and 28-night rates near UNMC.
Spring conventions build toward the Berkshire Hathaway weekend, which I price as its own block; the Friday shopping day and Saturday meeting usually mean shareholders want two or three nights.
Walkable to the ballpark, the arena and the riverfront parks, so this is where I set the highest College World Series and Berkshire rates.
My full Omaha calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Omaha.
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 |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | From $1,150/mo |
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!

Busiest in Omaha: June for the Men's College World Series, early May for the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, and summer event weekends. April to early May: Spring conventions build toward the Berkshire Hathaway weekend, which I price as its own block; the Friday shopping day and Saturday meeting usually mean shareholders want two or three nights. June (College World Series): Opening weekend and the championship series carry the most value; I price the middle week flexibly, because eliminated teams' families check out and new nights appear without warning. 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. Whether the listing is set up for eight-day and longer bookings in June, with weekly pricing and laundry details, because baseball families compare total cost for the whole series.
Release nights quickly when teams are eliminated and their families leave town. Next: offer weekly rates near the medical centre and Offutt Air Force Base all year. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Omaha 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 Omaha: December to February. September to December: Autumn conventions, Nebraska football overflow and holiday events downtown carry the season; I lift dates around the busiest arena events and step down before Christmas. January to March: Creighton basketball at the CHI Health Center, conventions and medical travel keep weekdays alive, so I protect a winter floor and offer 14 and 28-night rates near UNMC.
Leaving the Berkshire weekend open at normal rates until the last month and forgetting that Council Bluffs homes compete for the same event guests from across the river. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Omaha, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Omaha, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Omaha sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to early May: Spring conventions build toward the Berkshire Hathaway weekend, which I price as its own block; the Friday shopping day and Saturday meeting usually mean shareholders want two or three nights.
Downtown, Old Market and North Downtown: Walkable to the ballpark, the arena and the riverfront parks, so this is where I set the highest College World Series and Berkshire rates. Blackstone, Midtown and Dundee and Aksarben and West Omaha 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.
Henry Doorly Zoo and Old Market tourism, The Men's College World Series at Charles Schwab Field and The Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Omaha. September to December: Autumn conventions, Nebraska football overflow and holiday events downtown carry the season; I lift dates around the busiest arena events and step down before Christmas.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Omaha I would start from June (College World Series): Opening weekend and the championship series carry the most value; I price the middle week flexibly, because eliminated teams' families check out and new nights appear without warning. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Omaha.
