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 Ruidoso. Ruidoso is a mountain escape for Texans, with three peaks: summer cool weather, winter skiing at Ski Apache and the All American Futurity on Labor Day. Recent wildfires and floods caused demand swings, so I review pace more often and keep rules flexible.
For Ruidoso owners I review how your cabin is priced across all three seasons, check how it presents after the recent fire and flood years, and set a plan that covers summer, ski weekends and the Futurity. You get clear targets for each period and rules for when demand swings unexpectedly.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Ruidoso.
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.
Ski Apache weekends, Martin Luther King weekend and Texas spring break drive this stretch, so I price by snow and school calendars and keep weekday cabins inviting for longer ski trips.
Once the lifts close, I shorten minimums to one or two nights and target couples and Inn of the Mountain Gods visitors with modest rates before summer reopens the Texas market.
Texans escaping the heat book cabins for most of the week; I use three or four night minimums in Upper Canyon and Alto and price July 4 as its own band.
The All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs is one weekend I open early and protect, with longer minimums, and I avoid letting a single night split it.
Aspenfest and autumn colour in the Lincoln National Forest keep weekends useful into October; by November I lower floors and focus on Thanksgiving families from Texas.
Christmas and New Year sell as a full holiday block for families, so I price those nights well above the rest of winter and require longer stays across the holiday week.
Price June to August as the main season for Texas families.
Price All American Futurity weekend as a top premium.
Price ski weekends and holidays in winter.
Use 2-night weekend minimums for cabins.
Review demand often and offer flexible cancellation after natural disasters.
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
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

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 addresses recent fire and flood history, including clear current access information, since nervous Texas families check this before they ever compare nightly rates.
Busiest in Ruidoso: June to August for the Texas summer escape, the winter ski season, and the All American Futurity on Labor Day. Labor Day weekend: The All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs is one weekend I open early and protect, with longer minimums, and I avoid letting a single night split it. December: Christmas and New Year sell as a full holiday block for families, so I price those nights well above the rest of winter and require longer stays across the holiday week. 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.

Midtown and Sudderth Drive: Walkable to shops and restaurants, these condos and small cabins sell to couples and short stays, so I allow single weeknights and price weekends in moderation.
