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 Walla Walla Wine Country. Walla Walla is a wine-weekend market with two big release periods. Spring Release and the Balloon Stampede in May, and harvest with Fall Release in autumn, fill the town. Weekdays are quiet. Visitors mainly come from Seattle and Portland for a couple of nights. The difference between a good and a poor year here is usually how well the release weekends and harvest are priced.
For a Walla Walla owner I review the permit and the home's position near tasting areas, then rebuild release weekends, harvest pricing and midweek floors. We agree on minimum stays and seasonal plans together so the calendar works across spring, autumn and the quieter months when Seattle and Portland visitors stay home.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Walla Walla Wine Country.
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.

Tasting rooms are quiet, so I keep floors modest, allow single nights and offer midweek stays for business visitors and couples.
Early spring tasting and Whitman College events bring couples and families; I price event weekends higher and keep midweek offers attractive.
Spring Release weekend and the Balloon Stampede fill town; I open these dates early, use two-night minimums and price them as the top spring band.
Summer tasting, weddings and Sweet Onion season bring steady weekends; I price weddings separately and keep weekdays priced for road-trip travellers.
Harvest, crush and Fall Release are the strongest weeks of autumn; I open them early, protect weekends and keep midweek rates attractive for couples.
Holiday events and family visits bring some demand; I lower floors, allow short stays and focus on weekend getaways for couples.
Price Spring Release and Fall Release weekends as top premiums.
Add the Balloon Stampede.
Use 2-night weekend minimums.
Discount midweek.
Lower January and February floors.
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!
