Streamlining your hospitality business (and regenerating value) post lockdown.
A message for hotel and accommodation operators
Whether you are working towards a 26th April or a 17th May reopening, you are of course deep into the planning process for re-opening safely to benefit from the customers who are keen to be freed upon the world, subject to the myriad of rules imposed from the powers that be.
Stricter cleaning and hygiene routines and processes will no doubt need to be implemented, which will require additional time from your staff, you may even be considering the need to employ extra staff to cover the workload?
What if you could streamline your accommodation booking service so that part of the business is handled externally by a remote team who know your business and property in detail and can deal with all bookings, from initial inquiry to when they walk through your front door? You may be surprised at the cost this service can be outsourced for, and depending on the size of your operation can often be much less than the cost of employing additional staff to cope with anticipated levels of demand this summer will (hopefully) bring.
One of the quickest ways to add value back to your business is by increasing profit levels, the principal metric that drives valuations in the hospitality sector. This obviously requires an increase in both turnover and people through your door, and this can be achieved by outsourcing your accommodation booking system, allowing your core staff to focus on customer service and the increased safety and cleaning regimes that will be expected as we come out of lockdown.
Outsourcing could be the shot in the arm (!) your business is looking for, and if you are considering your short to medium term options it may be a solution for boosting profit levels and the value of your business as you prepare for a sale.
