Hotel operations and revenue management advisory

Hotel Radisson, Sagar — operation advisory engagement

Overview

Making operating hotels perform

An operating hotel has a different set of problems to a development. Revenue is leaking through the wrong rate strategy, cost is running ahead of forecast, the food and beverage concept is not drawing covers, or the guest scores are dragging down distribution. These problems have specific fixes, and finding them requires someone who has run hotels, not just modelled them.

Kaviaan's operation advisory work is short-term, focused and measurable. We come in, identify the issues across revenue, cost and guest experience, and leave the team with a clear action plan and the support to execute it. We do not manage the hotel — we advise the owner and the team on what to change.
