Hotel Consultancy

Hotel Consultancy

With experienced consultants in a range of disciplines, Premier Cru is positioned to offer objective, expert analysis and advice. For hotel management teams it may be that you simply don't have the time to step back and look dispassionately at the issues holding the business back. For investors and property owners, there may be areas of the hospitality industry in which you don't have specific expertise. We'll work with you to pinpoint the problem and help solve it with practical action plans.

Operational and financial performance review

Operational and financial performance review

Our aim is to provide hotel stakeholders with financial information that clearly demonstrates the performance of the business as a whole and each revenue-generating centre within it. We provide industry-specific key performance indicators and detailed analysis of profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow using our own Management Information pack. Additional Premier Cru services include forecasting, payroll and accounting advice.

Whether you are at the feasibility stage and you require expert opinion on a potential project, or you require some extra muscle in the lead-in to opening we can help. We have strong relationships with a range of practitioners such as architects, surveyors, interior and graphic designers and can help you to appoint a proven team covering all the bases. Or we can supplement your management to ensure that your launch is right first time.

If you need additional management resource or a specific insight or expertise for a project or to bridge the gap between permanent appointments, why not bring a Premier Cru consultant in. We can bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the widest range of hospitality projects.

Food and beverage gross profit improvement

Food and beverage gross profit improvement

Sourcing the best suppliers, negotiating the best prices, minimising waste, managing inventory. There are many ways to improve your gross profit on food and beverages. Sometimes it might be even simpler than that though. When was the last time you checked how your bar prices compare to your nearby competition, for example? We can undertake a top-to-toe review of your food and beverage operation. We'll use all of our experience to recommend ways to benchmark and improve your gross profit, as well as bringing the benefit of our volume buying power.

Spa and leisure club

Spa and leisure club

We recognise that maximising the potential of a spa and leisure facility is very different to the day to day running of a hotel and requires a range of skills and competencies. We can assist with such specialist areas as product focus and development, membership marketing and management, and other more closely related areas such as personnel management, marketing, systems and gross profit improvement.

Revenue management

Revenue management

The constant evolution of distribution channels and the associated technology and partnerships means we have a dedicated focus on hotel revenue management, and always look to introduce an integrated rate matrix and yield system. We are also able to look at the entirety of the property, identify revenue-centres, such as weddings, functions and business meetings that are under-performing and propose strategies for maximising revenue.
