Custom Systems Built for Your Specific Operation
Every hotel is different. Your consulting shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. We assess your unique challenges, diagnose root causes, and build customized systems that address what actually matters to your operation—from staffing and revenue optimization to guest experience and operational efficiency. Explore our three core service areas below.
Operations & Staffing Strategies
Our consultants work with you to identify staffing needs based on occupancy trends, not guesswork. We assist in recruiting reliable talent and designing shift schedules that match your seasonal peaks and valleys reducing burnout and improving coverage.
We also develop comprehensive standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety manuals, and emergency response plans tailored to your property. These documents become living tools for your team, not just binders that collect dust.
From onboarding to advanced skill development our in-house training programs equip staff with the confidence and competence they need. We also facilitate access to industry-recognized certifications, ensuring compliance and professionalism across departments.
The result? A cohesive, accountable team that operates smoothly—no matter how busy it gets.
Revenue Management & Digital Strategy
Our OTA Optimization service includes full setup and ongoing management of platforms like Expedia, Booking.com, and Airbnb. We ensure your listings are complete, accurate, and competitively positioned while helping you regain control of direct bookings through smart funnel design.
We conduct in-depth Rate & Market Management analyses, reviewing local competitors, seasonal demand, and booking pace to implement dynamic pricing strategies that maximize RevPAR without sacrificing occupancy.
We also specialize in Occupancy Optimization using psychology-based tactics such as limited availability messaging, early-bird discounts, and bundled packages to drive conversion and reduce reliance on high-commission channels.
Our Online Presence Evaluation reviews your website, photography, SEO, and guest review responses. We ensure your digital storefront matches the quality of your guest experience because first impressions start online.

Guest Experience & Front Desk Mastery
Our Front Desk Training programs focus on elite customer service, efficient check-in/check-out workflows, and proven upselling techniques to increase ancillary revenue. We customize training to your property’s style, ensuring a natural, authentic guest experience.
We tackle operational friction head-on with specialized Reservation Management and Overbooking Avoidance protocols. Prevent costly errors before they happen.
Our On-Site Evaluation includes a complete guest journey audit, from curb appeal and lobby ambiance to room readiness and staff greetings. We identify subtle friction points that guests notice but rarely complain about.
A great guest experience isn’t accidental, it’s engineered. Let us help you build it.
FAQ
How is your consulting different from generic business coaching?
We don’t apply software company solutions or retail strategies to your hotel. Our team has deep, hands-on experience in hospitality operations. We’ve managed front desks, navigated peak seasons, handled staffing crises, and solved the specific problems you face daily. Every recommendation is rooted in real hospitality experience, not generic business theory. Additionally, we customize everything. Your property is unique, and your consulting should reflect that. We assess your specific situation, diagnose your actual challenges (not assumed ones), and build solutions tailored to your operation, budget, and goals. We’re not here to implement a template, we’re here to solve your problems.
How long does a typical consulting engagement last?
It depends on the scope and complexity of your needs. Some clients engage us for a specific service, like OTA optimization or front desk training, which might take 4-8 weeks. Others work with us on a broader Operations & Staffing overhaul which typically takes 8-12 weeks. Many properties find ongoing quarterly or annual check-ins valuable to maintain momentum and address seasonal challenges. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your needs and outline a realistic timeline and investment. There’s no one-size-fits-all engagement, we work on your schedule and based on your priorities.
What if we've already tried consulting and it didn't work?
You’re not alone. Many properties have had consulting experiences that felt disconnected from their reality or required constant owner involvement to execute. We hear this often and it’s usually because the previous consultant didn’t understand your specific operation or didn’t build systems your team could actually own and operate. Our approach is different: we assess your unique challenges, work with your team (not just advising from the sidelines), and create documentation and systems your staff can follow and improve over time. We’re accountable to results and we measure impact. If you’ve had a bad consulting experience give us a chance to show you what customized, hospitality-specific consulting looks like.
How much does your consulting cost?
Our pricing varies depending on the scope of services, your property size, and the complexity of your needs. A focused service like front desk training might be $2,000-$5,000. A comprehensive Operations & Staffing overhaul could be $8,000-$15,000+. Revenue optimization and digital strategy services are often structured based on scope. Rather than quote a generic price we prefer to have a conversation about your specific challenges and goals, then outline options with transparent pricing. Our first step is always a free 30-minute consultation where we can discuss your needs and give you a realistic sense of investment. We believe good consulting pays for itself many times over and we’re transparent about costs upfront.
Will consulting disrupt our daily operations?
Minimally. We understand you’re running a business and can’t afford major disruptions. Our on-site work is typically scheduled during slower periods or off-hours when possible. Most of our assessment and training happens during regular operations in a way that integrates naturally. Documentation and system-building happens largely behind the scenes. We work with your team, not at them. And here’s the key: Our whole goal is to reduce operational friction and chaos, so even while we’re assessing and improving you’ll likely notice things getting smoother, not more disruptive. We’re not here to overhaul everything at once. We prioritize based on impact and feasibility.
What if our team is resistant to change?
This is actually a common concern, and it’s valid. Change is hard, especially in hospitality where staff turnover is already high. Here’s how we handle it: First, we involve your team early. We don’t recommend changes that staff had no input on, we listen to their feedback and concerns. Second, we focus on solving their problems, not just management’s. When front desk staff see that new procedures make their jobs easier or safer, they buy in. When housekeeping understands why a new checklist exists, they use it. Third, we provide comprehensive training and support. New systems only fail if people don’t understand them or don’t see why they matter. We make sure both are clear. Resistance usually comes from unclear communication or systems that feel imposed. We handle both.
How do you measure success?
We measure what matters to you. For Operations & Staffing, that might be staff retention rates, training completion, or reduction in scheduling errors. For Revenue Management, it’s usually RevPAR, occupancy rates, direct booking percentage, or OTA commission reduction. For Guest Experience, we track online review scores, guest satisfaction, and repeat booking rates. At the beginning of our engagement we agree on 2-3 key metrics that reflect your priorities. Then we establish baseline data, implement changes, and measure improvement over time. You’ll see the difference, month after month. We don’t just advise and disappear, we remain accountable to outcomes. That’s what separates us from consultants who hand off a report and call it done.
What happens after the consulting engagement ends?
That depends on what you want. Some clients prefer a clean exit, they implement what we’ve built and manage it themselves (which is our goal: sustainable systems your team can own). Others prefer quarterly or annual check-ins to maintain momentum, address seasonal challenges, or optimize based on what’s working. Some engage us for a specific service and might work with us again later on a different area. The important part is this: Everything we build is documented and designed for your team to manage long-term. You don’t become dependent on us. You become more independent and capable. If you decide you want ongoing support or have new challenges down the road, we’re here. The systems we build are meant to run without us.
