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 Walla Walla Wine Country: Over a hundred wineries and the Spring and Fall Release weekends; The Walla Walla Balloon Stampede; Whitman College events; Harvest-season crush tourism. Guests I price for: Seattle and Portland couples on 2 to 3 night wine weekends downtown and in the airport and Southside tasting districts, plus release-weekend groups. Where I start: Release-weekend and harvest premiums, two-night wine-weekend minimums, and midweek floors that steady a spring-and-autumn-weighted tasting calendar.
Walla Walla hotels and inns serve wine tourists, college visitors and business travellers. With my five-star hotel background I help set release-weekend restrictions, wedding and group blocks, winery packages and a comp set chosen by downtown or vineyard location, not just room count.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Walla Walla Wine Country.
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.
“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.”

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.

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. 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.

Busiest in Walla Walla Wine Country: May for Spring Release and the Balloon Stampede and September to October for the harvest and Fall Release. May: 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. June to August: Summer tasting, weddings and Sweet Onion season bring steady weekends; I price weddings separately and keep weekdays priced for road-trip travellers. 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 close it is to downtown tasting rooms, the airport district or Southside wineries, since guests book by which tasting areas they plan to visit.
Use 2-night weekend minimums. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Walla Walla Wine Country 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 Walla Walla Wine Country: January and February. January to February: Tasting rooms are quiet, so I keep floors modest, allow single nights and offer midweek stays for business visitors and couples. March to April: Early spring tasting and Whitman College events bring couples and families; I price event weekends higher and keep midweek offers attractive.
Midweek priced like weekends and single-night Saturdays. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Walla Walla Wine Country, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Walla Walla Wine Country, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Walla Walla Wine Country sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January to February: Tasting rooms are quiet, so I keep floors modest, allow single nights and offer midweek stays for business visitors and couples.
Downtown Walla Walla: Walkable to tasting rooms and restaurants, so I price release weekends highest here and keep midweek offers for couples. Airport District and Southside and the Rocks District 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.
