How On-Demand Support Can Increase Hotel Performance

Analytics & Insight

Our hospitality consultants have the very best analytics software at their disposal. For you to be able to make informed and factual real-time commercial decisions, you need to understand your hotel’s performance inside and out. Some of the tools we use include BMI (baseline market index) and PMS (price sediment matrix). Both of these tools can help a hotel understand at the point of purchase their positioning compared to competitors, be that for fair share or retail price, respectively.

This intelligence is vital, and to continually stay ahead of competition, you will also need to know up-to-date information about the market; our team gathers frequent intelligence, as and when you need it. This includes industry updates, mystery shop programmes and benchmarking spot-checks. If you identify an area that needs improvement within your business, or are unsure of where to focus, on-demand support has the capability to provide reliable analytics and insight to remedy it.

Training & Commercial Checks

Your team is only as strong as their knowledge. Hotels that want to thrive ensure that their staff members have up-to-the-minute understanding of modern commercial management. Here at Michels & Taylor, we offer eight courses that can be implemented on a bespoke basis for your team. This training will target areas that have been identified as needing improvement such as ‘how to increase room revenue’, ‘e-commerce skills’, ‘customer journey’ and ‘food & beverage revenue management’. By offering this on-demand training, you can stay up to date with not only the industry, but with what your guests expect in today’s ever-evolving environment. This targeted training can help individuals and entire teams flourish.

Moving on from training, an ultimate aim for all those working in hospitality is to generate more profit. On-demand support can also extend to a Commercial Health Check that looks at all areas of commercial activity and provides an opportunity to identify ways of increasing ROI. This three-step process produces a plethora of results that will let you know if your hotel has optimal protocols and procedures in place by department, is correctly positioned, if all risk and opportunity has been identified, whether your booking channels are being managed effectively and much more.

“On-demand support is imperative for hotels that want to improve not only their performance, but also their offering on a regular basis. Michel & Taylor’s expert team of hospitality consultants are on-hand to offer unique insight and can guide you towards analytics best suited to serving your business. Cutting-edge commercial reporting and highly advanced tools can identify areas of improvement and help your team understand your property’s performance better.”
