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 Wichita: Aviation manufacturing and business travel; Wichita Riverfest; INTRUST Bank Arena concerts and tournaments; Wichita State University events. Guests I price for: Aviation-industry contractors on weekly and monthly stays, event visitors on weekends, and families on tournament trips. Where I start: Monthly contractor rates, event-weekend premiums, and winter floors.
Wichita hotels depend on aviation business travel, military visitors and training groups during the week, with events at weekends. From my five-star hotel revenue background I help set corporate rates for the aviation employers, long-stay pricing for training groups and event pricing for Riverfest and arena dates.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Wichita.
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.
Revenue management for a Wichita hotel starts with aviation. Engineers, contractors and trainees visiting Textron Aviation, Spirit AeroSystems and the other manufacturers fill weekdays, often for weeks at a time, while McConnell Air Force Base adds military travel. Weekends depend on INTRUST Bank Arena events, Riverfest and Wichita State athletics. I manage corporate and event demand separately.
My first task is to review negotiated rates with aviation employers, making sure they include blackout dates or limits for Riverfest and major arena events.
Aviation contract work and McConnell travel continue through winter, so I hold monthly rates firm and only soften nightly prices for short leisure stays.
Tournament dates at INTRUST Bank Arena, Wichita State events and spring weddings lift selected weekends; I price each one as it appears and keep weekdays for contractors.
Close to Riverfront Stadium, the Keeper of the Plains and the arena; I price these homes highest for Riverfest, concerts and Wind Surge games.
My full Wichita calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Wichita.
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 Wichita: June for Riverfest, March tournament weeks and summer event weekends. June (Riverfest): Riverfest spans more than a week along the Arkansas River, so I price the two weekends highest, add minimum stays and keep the middle weekdays slightly lower. July to August: Summer concerts, youth baseball and the National Baseball Congress World Series bring weekend demand; I price family-size homes higher and allow shorter weekday stays. 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 owner understands the Kansas and Wichita transient guest tax and how long stays are treated, so that monthly pricing is built on the correct net figure.
Lift weekends for INTRUST Bank Arena concerts and March tournament dates. Next: hold winter floors and fill with weekly stays. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Wichita 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 Wichita: December to February. January to February: Aviation contract work and McConnell travel continue through winter, so I hold monthly rates firm and only soften nightly prices for short leisure stays. March to May: Tournament dates at INTRUST Bank Arena, Wichita State events and spring weddings lift selected weekends; I price each one as it appears and keep weekdays for contractors.
Pricing Riverfest week like an ordinary June week and over-discounting winter when contractors still need housing. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Wichita, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Wichita, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Wichita sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to May: Tournament dates at INTRUST Bank Arena, Wichita State events and spring weddings lift selected weekends; I price each one as it appears and keep weekdays for contractors.
Delano and Downtown: Close to Riverfront Stadium, the Keeper of the Plains and the arena; I price these homes highest for Riverfest, concerts and Wind Surge games. College Hill and Riverside and East Wichita and near the airport 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.
Wichita State University events, Aviation manufacturing and business travel and Wichita Riverfest are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Wichita. September to December: Autumn concerts, Shocker athletics and holiday visitors carry this stretch; I lower floors after Thanksgiving and keep contractor monthly rates unchanged.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Wichita and work remotely in Central Time (UTC-6). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Riverfest week in early June as the main leisure premium, highest for homes near the Arkansas River and downtown.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Wichita I would start from June (Riverfest): Riverfest spans more than a week along the Arkansas River, so I price the two weekends highest, add minimum stays and keep the middle weekdays slightly lower.
