Love to share what our clients say - So proud of IDeaS Revenue Solutions and of course what Radisson Hotel Group have been able to achieve. “RevPlan has freed up almost one day a week of our revenue managers’ time,” said Gianni Di Fede, Radisson Hotel Group’s Senior Vice President of Revenue Management, BI & Distribution in EMEA. "RevPlan empowers revenue managers to be the guardians of total revenue optimization, applying data-driven, dynamic forecasting to all revenue streams, including rooms, food and beverage and meetings and events.” Read how Radisson Hotel Group transitioned from spreadsheet-based forecasting to automated revenue management with IDeaS Revenue Solutions. #RevenueManagement #HotelManagement #Hospitality

Thought of the day for my fellow hoteliers! Curious to know your thoughts? The landscape for hotel casinos and resorts has shifted its focus to monetizing experiences, marking a significant transformation in customer behavior in places going back to 2015 during my time at Caesars Ent. The city has transitioned from a gaming-centric to an experience-driven destination, evident in the fact that 60% of paying customers in Vegas are now identified as non-gamers, this was stated back in 2015 and I am positive that has gone up. This shift has led to hotels competing to offer diverse and appealing experiences, prompting proactive approaches like Caesars establishing a dedicated department to adapt to this evolving consumer behavior and drive incremental revenue. I know this firsthand because I created that department. A key contributor to success has been the strategic use of technology, exemplified by partnerships such as the one with UrVenue at the time. This collaboration has not only resulted in substantial revenue growth but has also streamlined operations. By prioritizing customer focus and leveraging technology, teams can excel in customer development, making tasks like handling reservations, check-ins, and facilitating payments seamless. As the industry continues to evolve, the question arises: do you observe hotels maintaining a focus on creating unique experiences, and what tools or strategies do you think would further facilitate operators in effectively monetizing and enhancing customer service in this dynamic environment? We live in a social media world and that computes to consumers wanting experiences so that they can say "I did it for the Gram" #pxms #hotels #experiences #vegas #hospitality #urvenue

Three reasons why hotel F&B isn't profitable. ➡️ It's seen as a service function to the rooms. ➡️ The concept is too 'safe' and predictable. ➡️ Process kills innovation and agility It's time to change that And I am on a mission to help hoteliers Look at F&B differently Because after 15 years in hotels And 9 in independent restaurants I have seen that by acting like independents You can make your F&B team 🚀🚀🚀 Who's with me? 🙋🏼♂️ #innovation #success #future #hospitality #hotels

Love this guy! Scott Turner right there with you. Hoteliers making bold choices for their restaurant concepts only strengthens the eco system in which it resides. You can be a hotel with a destination restaurant, it’s time to change the old narrative, it’s a limiting belief which is restricting profitability and creating a profit centre rather than a p&l drain. Yes, it means more labour overhead and certainly marketing and associated costs but with that comes increased spend, increased covers, importantly increased occupancy (if you get it really right!) and ADR when you have a point of difference in your market space.

A very impressive couple of quotes here from Radisson's own Gianni Di Fede, Radisson Hotel Group’s Senior Vice President of Revenue Management, BI & Distribution in EMEA. “RevPlan has freed up almost one day a week of our revenue managers’ time." "RevPlan empowers revenue managers to be the guardians of total revenue optimization, applying data-driven, dynamic forecasting to all revenue streams, including rooms, food and beverage and meetings and events.” Check out how Radisson Hotel Group is leading the charge in adopting technology. They transitioned from spreadsheet-based forecasting (something that I still have nightmares from) to automated revenue management with IDeaS Revenue Solutions.
