YOUR INVITATION TO ACCESS OUR CROWN JEWELS

Welcome to our blog! We’ll break down industry data, offer profitability tips and share expert advice to benefit hotel owners and operators alike.

Our third Crown Jewel is all about Improving Operational Performance which involves three steps – study, streamline and focus. To get the most out of your hotel’s operational performance, you have to study your current operations. Be intentional about rooting out any and all challenge areas, inefficiencies, and guest pain points. After identifying those key areas to streamline operations and improve efficiencies, next you must develop tactical objectives and update or create new processes. Finally, it’s time to focus! Focus your efforts on the top three tactical objectives that will deliver the most significant cost savings. At this point, you want to turn to your team to solicit feedback. Getting them involved in the process will lead to buy-in which is critical for building morale and improving the likelihood of successful execution resulting in real cost savings … and improved financial performance!

The next time we meet, we’ll take a look at driving Gross Operator Profits (GOP). See you then!

US Hotel Data Update

A natural disaster has taken a toll on industry data in the last week. Negative year-over-year results in the three key performance areas were reported during the week of 9-15 September. In comparison to 2017, the industry recorded the following:

  •  Occupancy:  -3.3% to 69.8%
  • Average daily rate (ADR):  -0.3% to US$131.03
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): -3.7% to US$91.47

The data dips are noted in several major markets impacted by Hurricane Florence. Additionally, an earlier Rosh Hashanah may have contributed to the fluctuations.
