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 The Yorkshire Dales. The Yorkshire Dales are a classic cottage market with walkers, cyclists and families on week-long summer stays, boosted by the All Creatures Great and Small effect in Grassington and Wensleydale. Winter is quiet. I hold seven-night summer stays and switch to short breaks in the shoulders.
For Yorkshire Dales owners I review how each cottage compares with nearby villages, whether summer and shoulder rules work together, and how events are priced. I then build a plan that keeps summer weeks full and the shoulder months moving with short breaks.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in The Yorkshire Dales.
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.
Walkers and couples come for quiet winter breaks, so I offer two and three night stays and keep a floor that covers heating and cleaning in stone cottages.
Easter and the May bank holidays open the season, and the Three Peaks challenge begins in earnest, so I price those weekends up and offer short breaks in between.
Families, cyclists and walkers fill the Dales, and events like the Grassington Festival and the Great Yorkshire Show nearby add demand, so I sell full weeks early and price event weeks up.
Autumn colour, half-term and the Grassington Dickensian Festival in December keep some weekends busy, so I price those dates up and run short breaks the rest of the time.
Use 7-night minimums from June to September.
Price Easter and bank holidays as premiums.
Offer 3 and 4-night short breaks in spring and autumn.
Price Grassington and Hawes homes by their own comps.
List on UK cottage channels.
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.

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!
Airbnb host
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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing describes distance to the Settle to Carlisle railway and the start of popular walks, since guests often plan their whole stay around them.
Busiest in The Yorkshire Dales: June to September for the fells and long light evenings, with busy Easter and bank-holiday weekends. June to September: Families, cyclists and walkers fill the Dales, and events like the Grassington Festival and the Great Yorkshire Show nearby add demand, so I sell full weeks early and price event weeks up. 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.
Pricing a strongly seasonal cottage market with seven-night summer minimums, then softening to short breaks in shoulder months to keep the calendar moving. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the The Yorkshire Dales calendar before I make it. October to December: Autumn colour, half-term and the Grassington Dickensian Festival in December keep some weekends busy, so I price those dates up and run short breaks the rest of the time.
Winter is quiet. I hold seven-night summer stays and switch to short breaks in the shoulders. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in The Yorkshire Dales.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
