2. The Grand Hotel issue
• Was a Sheraton Four Points did very well
• New owner practiced nepotism – hired her
unexperienced children to be managers at
the hotel
• Managers have other jobs and do not
have time to manage effectively
• Lessened the quality of goods to save
money
• Has declined in occupancy by 30%

minutes of your time?

Editor's Notes
I am Abdulmohsen and the owner of Almohanna Holding Group, my expertise is in Food & beverage more than 2 years. My plan is to hire new chef and cooks who are experienced. We will train the current servers to improve their skills to provide high service. We will see if hiring more severs is necessary for both PT and Ft. the most important thing is hiring an events coordinator who will be responsible to deal with banquet events, suppliers, and the chef to make sure that we are providing high quality service.
I am Franky Fiordimondo and have been the Director of Rooms at The Village Inn in Bradford, the Village Inn in Windsor, and the McLeod House in Ridgway Ontario, for a combined experience of 15 years. I plan to retrain the staff to excel in guest satisfaction, and work closely with maintenance and engineering to take care of the deferred maintenance issues the hotel is experiencing.
I am Lynn Bakieh and I have been an HR manager for 2 years in Victoria. I want to help the Grand Hotel and recruit the best quality employees to start managing your hotel to become a real competitor in the market. I am aware you have hired your sons to manage your hotel and they are not effectively doing their job because they have other responsibilities to attend to. I want to develop and maintain a human resources system that meets top management information needs. I will administrate performance review program to ensure effectiveness, compliance, and equity within organization. A training program will also be implemented to ensure the highest standard of service possible.
I am Stephanie Vorleitner and the director of finance of Almohanna Holding Group. My experience in finances are very strong and a it started a long time ago when I have worked for Citi Group financials. I want to help the Grand Hotel to enhance their financials with hiring a few people to create a finance department as well a General Manager who has the financials under control. They need to improve their occupancy, so it is necessary to rise the cash flow and the cap rate. We will fix the problem and have a deep look into the finances of the Grand Hotel.
