The Title and Role of Revenue Manager Should Be Transitioned to “Revenue Generation Manager”

Doug Kennedy | May 18, 2022

By Doug Kennedy If you asked most hoteliers to write up a job description for the position of Revenue Manager (RM), chances are the responsibilities listed would focus on controlling and “managing” revenue, as opposed to generating it.  For example, the first tasks that most will think of would likely be setting rates and restrictions for transient segments, determining channel mix, calculating revenue-per-guest opportunities by segment, managing OTA’s and other electronic distribution channels, and providing sales staff with quotes for groups and functions. It is time for the lodging industry to reimagine both the title and role...

For Hotels, Revenue Is the Sprint, Profit Is the Marathon

HotStats | April 18, 2022

Usain Bolt is a sprint legend. At 9.58 seconds, he holds the world record in the 100 meters, making him the fastest human to ever put on running shoes and garnering the well-deserved nickname “Lightning Bolt.” The short time it takes to go 100 meters differs vastly from the longer time it takes to run a marathon. The 26.2-mile stretch is typically completed in a little more than two hours by champion distance runners. In the hotel industry, revenue is a sprint and profit is a marathon. For a runner like Bolt, all that matters is running fast—the revenue. So when the gun sounds, all he cares about is getting to the finish line as q...

Hospitality Financial Leadership: Why Your Hotel Needs a Daily “Pick-Up” Report

David Lund | April 18, 2022

By David Lund You might be reading this and saying to yourself, “Well, for sure every hotel needs a daily pick-up report.” But I bet you would be surprised how many hotels do not use their pick-up report and or they do not use it properly. They are missing the financial opportunity that a good strategy around the daily pick-up represents. I have never and will never profess to being any kind of an expert at hotel revenue management. I strictly see myself as a novice. The purpose of this piece is to point out how to use the daily pick-up report to inspire and invigorate your leadership team around the financial aspects of your busine...

Rating Rate: How Hoteliers Made the Right Decisions This Time Around

HotStats | April 7, 2022

One of the bright spots for the hotel industry amid the pandemic was the ability to hold—if not drive—average daily rate, particularly in leisure-led, drive-to markets. It is something that evaded hoteliers during prior calamities, including 9/11 and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, when hotels slashed rates in an attempt to win back demand. It proved a faulty strategy. But understandable: The knee-jerk, common-sense reaction to depletion of demand is to do whatever it takes to offset that reduction. That means filling rooms by any means and the biggest lever hoteliers have at their disposal is rate. The problem with that move is t...

Leading Through Change – Be the Spark!

Jeff Bzdawka | April 7, 2022

Inspiration for Global Meetings Industry Day By: Jeff Bzdawka, CEO Knowland To recognize Global Meetings Industry Day, it seemed appropriate to speak about our industry recovery and the importance of embracing a leadership style that offers encouragement, especially during periods of ongoing uncertainty. We kicked off 2022 with great hope of a return to a near-normal year. Unfortunately, as world events unfolded around us, we found ourselves once again wondering if things would ever return to normal. Or even what “normal” means today. As industry leaders, however, it is our job to avoid getting caught up in the onslaught of negat...

What Hoteliers Can Learn About Revenue Management From Shark Tank

Steve Lapekas | April 5, 2022

By Steve Lapekas   In any industry, the measure of a brand’s success can be attributed to a number of factors, but perhaps none more important than revenue. In simple terms, a business is either profitable – or it’s not, and the ability of a company to consistently drive profit will, in many ways, determine the likelihood of its success and staying power. Let’s take, for example, Shark Tank, the popular reality TV show in which bright-eyed entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of venture capitalists in the hope of securing investments and business advice from them. Throughout each episode, viewers are intro...

Hospitality Financial Leadership – Top 10 ‘MUST DO’ Separation of Duties and Controls

David Lund | March 28, 2022

By David Lund In your hotel internal controls are a mission critical element you must have up and working well to adequately safeguard your assets. If you forgo these controls, you leave yourself wide open for – and I hate to use this word – fraud. That is right. People who work for you are much more likely to steal from you if you do not protect what is yours with proper and effective controls. That fact is just the reality of being in business and the world is full of horror stories of those who trusted too much. As Theodore Roosevelt said, “Risk is like fire: If controlled it will help you, if uncontrolled it will reach up a...
