With an hotelier career spanning for more than over 30 years, I have specialized in
challenging, high risk and diverse assignments in difficult environments which have
demanded complete focus, due diligence and a large dose of common sense. Whilst the
majority of my assignments have been to set up new enterprises and to assess and
move forward existing concerns, my focus has always been to provide a quality customer
experience, increased profits and a happy, hard working and accountable team of
professionals delivering a consistent brand. analytical skills, day to day management
experience and immense passion for delivering quality and increased revenues to good use.
Service standards, I would always reassure my self, in the decisions of the total product value
of the hotel, whether it has the potential to scheme the prices are only a gradual increase in
effective increase in prices , an effective increase
Means an impact on the the value of The Gross operating margins
Commercial policy should enunciate an increase in prices should be compatible to the service
standards and facilitations--- a mark up in price should not detoriate the intangible portion of
the product value, as also should not affect the competitive pricing policy , operators ,
corporates would always insist on, with sufficient pricing AVERAGE ROOM RATES/REV PAR
,with sufficient facilitations , although rooms are the main contributors to total revenue its
food and beverage support is necessary to obtain room revenue targets
Revenue penetrations and occupancy ratios are significant factors
The breakfast board which nowadays is inclusive of room tariffs, an elegant
Break fast buffet increases the product strength and the capacity to sell is obvious its not that
guests are hogs but guests look at their appetites and the palate, the same is true of the
lunch and dinner buffets, out door catering and take away food

2. Standardization of service is usually made from SOPs, these collectively makes guideline to all
service staff on the hotel standards the guests are given
These SOPs are hotel manuals which standardize the service
I was always insistent that in my jobs that we should maintain a GOP of 40 To 45% around
55% on departmental margins ,and around 30 % on net margin.
These are magic figures I would like to achieve takes a lot of team effort , training associates
on changed management strategies and Business Process Re-engineering management style
should be adaptive for an effort increasing Revenue Generations , profit center management,
effectively would decisively increase GOP and cash flow , break even analysis, would
determine the contribution generations and as it indexes the gross margin, with variable cost
and fixed cost decisions, lower fixed cost, would set low break even points thereby increasing
the GOP margins , GOP- realistic- are figures ,which maintains our standard profitability ,
surplus –profit again after taxes should be deployed
Business plan –KRA s And KPI
The hotel Ambience setting up the hotel ambience and façade gives the product value
impetus setting up the business plan always gave me the satisfaction that it is the goal setter
for achieving the business targets without affecting the business policy of the hotel every
sales and marketing plan is drawn and phased out , while negotiating sales contracts, its quite
sensitive on the mode of payments terms should clearly spell out the deposits ,advances
interest on delayed payments cancellations etc are aspect one should look into , if there is a
centralized marketing and reservations system , this would advance sales strategies more
emphatically and effectively segments like Travel agents ,Corporate , leisure , airlines crew ,
non crew , internet , groups , walkins ,others are market leaders tour operators , corporates
and group contribute as follow
A report on market shares
SHARE 2008
AIRLINE NON CREW 0.7%
AIRLINE CREW 6.3%
CORPORATE 28.7%
INTERNET 9.9%

3. TOUR and TRAVEL 52.1%
OTHERS 2.3%
TOT % 100.0%

5. Whilst as per the market segment report done by me I have Analyzed the fact that Travel
and Trade and corporate formulates 80% of the market segment All the other segments are
also equally important
Modern managements appoint revenue managers to explore new avenues of revenue Thus
the thrust for increased revenue are the priorities of the general manager , what is my vision
of selling is to standardize the product and product line is to satisfy the clients , the tour
operators and corporate are demanding on the guest services , generally guest always look
for classy hotel stuff , like the deluxe room executive floor suites now a days are marketable
at high competition levels , reaching the room banquet and outlet sales thru advertisement
,sales calls , complimentary , taking care of tour operator ,corporate clientele are all the
assets of the company , every year throwing a corporate sales party , conducting a tour of the
house are all nowadays sales gadgets , training of staff on the eticacies of the hotel, on
speaking to guests salutations to the guest, telephonic conversations are all guest services ,
speaking in world languages are essential features of the upfront selling
Discounts promotions are looked upon by guests for as incentives
Country tours side trips, airlines and travel desks, shopping arcades ,drug stores doctors and
medical aid spa discos and package tours are revenue management
I have made a sales and marketing business plan prepared by me for the hotel service
hospitality industry – a brief document
On the marketing strategies focusing relevant events statistical inputs , justifications, profile
and history of the company the objectives the planning strategy of the company , I did this
report to support the budgetary implications as how to arrive at the financial targets , the sale
and marketing can be prepared more elaborative based market research and made a
voluminous in exposing the product to all facets of the market , develop the key message for
relevant advertisement strategies , timing of advertisement, the media selection key message
development timing and the segment targets , the cost involved and the results measured
leasing is a new form of business enterprise these days
modeling and brand managers are the prospective marketing strategy to the company, our
company can undertake advertisement
Consultant Business to a certain profitable proposition, we can have a team of staff to develop
copy writing, message, key words, selection of media , timing strategies for the
advertisement or promotions , target market segments , make advertisement films and have
royalty rights on all our advertisement business promoted , the success of this business
would be the models and brand managers whom we can deploy
Front office accommodations management –computerized reservations check in
checkouts Foreign currency systems handled Fidelio and protel , infront systems at the front
office House keeping and accommodations systems, making up of beds cleaning Minibar

6. management and clearances, check out clearances, guest supplies, lost and found
management , occupancy reports guest amenities , computerized I have made many SOPS
on managing the hotel , It is essential that the guest are given the best housekeeping
services , reservations are handled with minimum discomfort to guests , guest complaints are
handled with immediate attention daily briefings of staff , checking of arrival departures
arranging airport pick ups , VIP status reports , complimentary drinks and fruit baskets
special attention of suite guests lift handling concierge servicing group handling , VIP
treatment of tour operators
Staff with well spoken English, Telephone eticacies
Revenue management –is a product mix segments markets and allows the guest inflow in a
structured manner taking into accounts market fluctuations
Revenue Management is based on complex optimization methodologies developed from
advanced statistical and analytical models Therefore, the most critical challenge facing the
hotel industry is predicting potential capacity, and developing a pricing strategy that will
encourage maximum capacity and revenue, The statistical tools of least square methods, can
determine the effective demand for room s segment wise it’s a forecast demand analysis
side trip tour conducted by hotels , Dolphin park, casinos , Deep sea diving , sea sports ,pearl
diving training ,trip to wild life sanctuary parks trips to historical places ,safari s in Africa ,
queen Elizabeth national park, Queen Victoria park ,Kazinga channel the zero equatorial
points amusements parks in the middle east are all scope for additional revenue , the
inventory of rooms , Raw material ,overbooking management in reservations are all revenue
management techniques hence constant exploring of additional revenue for the hotel is
revenue management , the break even sales analysis gives the maxim as to how much of
sales you should generate for the breakeven and how sales volume you can generate above
the break even sales .
AIRLINES MANAGEMENT –worked in Qantas airways as Manager
In the role of a district manager , built up a good clientale and promoted the frequent flyer
programme , was incharge of the QANTAM –operating system and had control of many travel
agents, Sub Agents , , IATA approved , had total ticket stock under control , Managed Tour
Operators for INBOUND and OUTBOUND TOURS .
FOOD and BEVERAGE –the setting up of buffets in coffee shops , menu and menus
planning multi cuisines chefs caliber in serving to the guest palate organizing events wedding
, conferences setting fine dine , make or buy , to produce pastries ice creams to identify
specialty restaurants knowledge of working of Arabic, Chinese-Dim sum , Lebanese food, Thai
food, Indian south chettinad , Biriyanis , Tandoori, Indian currys various type , chat food ,
continental , Italian pizza and pastas , the steaks ,
Fast food ,Desserts, salads ,Grills , Liquors , wines , French wines Cocktails Mocktails ,
barbeques , fast food concepts food festivals ,food promotions sponsorship events , In my
experience the coffee shop and room service usually 24 hours , round the service menu ,
have been responsible for opening many restaurants , in Kuwait I was responsible for the
opening of two franchise restaurants , Richoux , Specialty restaurants with English Gourmets
in Africa I had set up ,tree top restaurants ,the matoki is a special recipe , in Maldives sea
food restaurants , the Gardia menu in Maldives is a superb Maldivian cuisine , so also their
cuts, Among the desserts we have the black forest , an exclusive Pastry , in Afghanistan and
Iran the bread the local made of wheat flour is a recipe ,the omlettes and the Conji are quite
popular so also the breads , ice creams , soft beverages
Bars the liquor sale of beers and wines are the most popular beverages , we have whiskies ,
brandy’s also sold bloody Marys screw drivers are all cocktails Draught beers ,

7. In Iran I was in charge of the dolphin’s park also a property of the owners in Bahrain and
Saudi Lebanese restaurant was very successful, Lebanese salads were the most popular food
of the Arabs apart from their Dumba –Meat lamb of 9kgs weight
Apart from the revenue from Rooms Food and Beverage, we have entertainment and other
utilities revenue, such from health clubs, spa. Karaoke. Discos,laundry , telephone , business
centre - internets video conferencing facilities , hotline , mobile telephone , landlines , valet
services , shopping –arcades , banking facilities
PROMOTIONS –are usually Indented to Increase Revenue with Discounted sales ,It assumes
futuristic sales , New Year Events , Diwali celebrations , Christmas celebrations the German
Oktober festival, exhibitions , sponsorships
Its an expense on Complimenatries and a credit to raw material cost
Business plans now have as a back up tool to astute Revenue Management to assess future
sales-or deferred income , but modern managements do not accept too many expenses on
this , however opportunity cost plays a major role to reascertain Expenses which are not
proportionate to revenue
SAVINGS
The hotel industry a service oriented facilitative industry –the product is now having a
tough competition in economic analysis we call this the perfect competition, where the supply
and demand are Analyzed, The price settles at the point where the supply is Equal to
Demand, the profit on the price depends upon the average cost the difference between the
price and average cost is the profit –surplus
The Budget Document of the business plan makes guideline for Revenue and Expenses, The
Revenue are the targets set and the Expenses are the cost incurred to meet the Revenue ,
the costs are operational and fixed cost ,
As much as we concentrate to increase sales as a manifest of our budgeted analysis its
equally imperative to cut down cost and effect savings, the profit center outlets with an
uniform system of accounting the international standard system of accounting, would provide
a realistic view of the targets set and achieved and expenses set and expenses realized and
saved , ie the budget with realistic figures are compared and the variances analyzed
Materials procurements
The food and beverage management is governed by cost Boards, as also there are cost board
for any other profit centers –like laundry ,telephone and for cost centres such as electricity
consumptions
The cost board make rigid expenses –some are hidden expenses like complimentaries to
guest which are evaluated on the cost board daily market purchases are monitored , Material
procurements standardize material with specifications-contracts
Value analysis An important tool for savings and reducing costs
: The answer for to this is inappropriate as the guru of management is not alive but his
conceptual frame work exists in all facets of ,management where Peter s Drucker has
emphasized the costs AND CONTROL OF COST as the mechanism for modern sound
management practice s where he feels sales is hardcore selling and insists that the marketing
concept of the product is selling by itself -Marketing the product ,the next phase of the
question Any person could become a potential client in the market if you could convince him
of the value and added values concept of your product , you should demonstrate to the
decision makers who would decide on your product or services By analyzing to them the
product characteristics, the product line , the definition of your product in terms of its value,

8. the convincing abilities of your demo should be brief brisk and effective , the communication
should be clear and the presentation should really add value to the product
Water leaks , gas leaks are some factors of mitigating costs
