Revenuenaire
Hotel revenue management consultants

Hotel revenue management consultants who have run the numbers themselves.

Revenuenaire consultants are working revenue management experts, not analysts with a slide deck. They audit your pricing, distribution and forecasting, write a strategy your team can run, and stay on if you want them to run it. Remote, worldwide, fixed scope.

Meet the consultants

Revenue management experts first, consultants second

Revenuenaire consultants are hotel revenue management experts with more than 18 years in the role: first inside international hotel chains, then for independent hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in 77 countries. They still set rates every day for the hotels and portfolios we manage.

That matters because a consultant who no longer prices rooms drifts toward theory. Ours test every recommendation on live inventory before it reaches your strategy document, and they built Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing, the engine our own clients use, so the advice comes with the tools to run it.

  • Independent hotels
  • Boutique hotels
  • Resorts
  • Serviced apartments
  • Small hotel groups
  • Owners and asset managers

What our consultants do

What a hotel revenue management consultant does for your property

Six areas of work. Take one as a fixed-scope project or combine them into a full revenue strategy.

Diagnosis

Revenue audit and gap analysis

The consultant reads 12 to 24 months of reservations, rates, restrictions and channel costs, shops your comp set and interviews whoever prices rooms today. You get every revenue gap ranked by value.

  • Rate and restriction decision review
  • Net RevPAR by channel after commission
  • Comp-set positioning and rate shopping
  • Written report with expected revenue range
Pricing

Pricing and rate strategy

Rate architecture per room type, BAR ladders tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars, lead-time and day-of-week rules, and length-of-stay pricing your team can run.

  • Room-type rate architecture
  • 12-month pricing calendar
  • Group, corporate and package rules
  • Setup in your RMS or PriceLabs
Distribution

Distribution and OTA strategy

Which channels to sell on, at what net rate, with which promotions. Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Trip.com, Google Hotel Ads, GDS, wholesale and direct, planned as one mix that protects margin.

  • Channel mix and net-rate plan
  • OTA programme and promotion strategy
  • Metasearch and direct booking plan
  • Rate parity and channel manager mapping
Forecasting

Forecasting, budgeting and reporting

A 12-month demand forecast by segment, an annual budget, weekly pace and pickup reports, and an owner and GM reporting pack showing occupancy, ADR and RevPAR against budget and last year.

  • Forecast by month and segment
  • Budget and re-forecast process
  • Weekly pace, pickup and displacement
  • Owner and asset manager reporting
Systems

RMS, channel manager and tech selection

Independent advice on revenue management systems, channel managers, rate shoppers and booking engines, then configuration once you choose. We are not paid by any vendor, so the advice is only about fit.

  • Requirements and shortlist
  • Vendor demos and scoring
  • Configuration and go-live
  • Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing where it fits
People

Training and interim revenue management

Workshops for your revenue manager, front office or sales team, standard operating procedures, and an interim consultant who runs revenue while you hire or during an opening.

  • Revenue management fundamentals workshop
  • SOPs and daily, weekly, monthly checklists
  • Interim or fractional revenue manager

Why Revenuenaire

Why hotels choose our revenue management consultants

The six things that separate a consultant who improves RevPAR from one who writes a report.

Practitioners, not presenters

Every consultant has held the revenue manager seat and set rates daily for hotels. We recommend only what we have run ourselves.

Fixed scope, fixed price

You know the deliverables, the timeline and the fee before work starts. No hourly meters and no scope creep.

We built our own pricing engine

Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing was written by our revenue management experts. Few consultants have shipped the software as well as the strategy.

Independent of every vendor

No commissions from RMS, channel manager or OTA partners. When we recommend a system, it is because it fits your hotel.

Worldwide, in your time zone

Hotels in 77 countries, all served remotely with read-only system access and working sessions scheduled around your team.

Results stated before you commit

The audit report states the expected revenue range for your property. Across clients the average RevPAR lift is 38 percent in the following year.

Hiring guide

How to hire a hotel revenue management consultant

The four steps we recommend whether you hire us or someone else.

  1. 01

    Define the problem

    Flat RevPAR, no revenue manager, an opening, a renovation, or an owner who wants an independent view. The problem sets the scope.

    Day 1

  2. 02

    Check the track record

    Ask which hotels they have priced daily, in which markets, and what changed. Ask for reviews you can verify, not case studies you cannot.

    Before the call

  3. 03

    Agree scope, deliverables and price

    A good consultant writes down what you will receive, when, and for how much. Ours do this after a free 30-minute discovery call.

    Week 1

  4. 04

    Give read-only access and start

    PMS, channel manager and extranets in read-only mode. The audit runs two to three weeks and the strategy follows in week four.

    Weeks 2 to 4

Six questions to ask any hotel revenue consultant

The answers separate people who have priced hotels from people who have read about it. We answer all six in the first call.

  1. 01How many hotels have you priced day to day, and in which markets?
  2. 02Will you show me the data behind every recommendation?
  3. 03Do you receive commissions or referral fees from any RMS, channel manager or OTA?
  4. 04What exactly will I receive, in writing, at the end of the engagement?
  5. 05Who trains my team and what happens after you leave?
  6. 06Can I speak to a hotel you have worked with, and read reviews I can verify?

FAQ

Questions about hotel revenue management consultants

What hotel owners and general managers ask before hiring a revenue consultant.

What does a hotel revenue management consultant do?

A hotel revenue management consultant audits how a hotel prices, restricts, distributes and forecasts its rooms, then delivers the strategy, calendar, reports and training needed to earn more from the same inventory. Typical deliverables are a revenue audit with gaps ranked by value, a rate architecture per room type, a 12-month pricing and restriction calendar, a distribution and OTA strategy, a forecast and budget process, and team training. Some consultants, including Revenuenaire, also run revenue day to day as an outsourced revenue management team.

How much do hotel revenue management consultants charge?

Freelance consultants usually charge an hourly or day rate. Revenuenaire quotes a fixed project fee after a free discovery call, based on room count, room types, channels and the scope you choose. A revenue audit with strategy roadmap for an independent hotel is one fixed fee; training days and monthly check-ins are priced separately. Ongoing outsourced revenue management is a monthly retainer with no long lock-in.

How do I choose a hotel revenue management consultant?

Look for someone who has held the revenue manager seat and priced hotels daily, not only advised. Ask which markets and property types they have worked in, whether they take vendor commissions, what you will receive in writing, and who trains your team afterwards. Verify reviews you can check yourself. Revenuenaire consultants are led by a revenue manager with 18+ years across hotel chains and independents, take no vendor commissions, and publish their reviews.

Is a consultant better than hiring an in-house revenue manager?

They solve different problems. An in-house revenue manager makes daily decisions but rarely has time for a strategic reset, and the knowledge leaves when they do. A consultant delivers the audit, strategy and training in a fixed engagement and leaves your team stronger. Many hotels use both: a consultant to build the strategy and train the team, then either an in-house manager or Revenuenaire outsourced revenue management to run it.

Do your consultants work with small independent hotels?

Yes, and they are the majority of our hotel clients. A 20 to 120 room independent hotel rarely has a revenue manager, so pricing is done by the owner or GM between other duties. A one-off audit and strategy typically finds 10 to 25 percent of rooms revenue, and the calendar we leave behind keeps working without a monthly fee.

Can hotel revenue management consultants work remotely?

Every Revenuenaire engagement is remote. The consultant works with read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and OTA extranets, shops your comp set online and holds working sessions on Zoom in your time zone. We have consulted for hotels in 77 countries this way and it removes travel from the fee.

What results can I expect from a hotel revenue consultant?

Your audit report states the expected revenue range before you commit to implementation. Across Revenuenaire clients the average RevPAR lift is 38 percent over the following year, driven by rate architecture, restrictions and channel mix rather than discounting. Results depend on how much of the strategy your team runs, which is why training and SOPs are part of every engagement.

Who are the Revenuenaire consultants?

The Revenuenaire consultants are revenue management experts with more than 18 years across international hotel chains, independent hotels, resorts and short-term rental portfolios, who still set rates every day for the properties Revenuenaire manages. The same team built Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing, the software our clients price with, and has optimized more than 20,000 properties in 77 countries.
