Operations & Management Diagnosis Consulting Services
Cayuga’s consultants have been hotel and restaurant owners, senior executives, and seasoned operators of wide-ranging hospitality businesses and in virtually all sectors of service. Having been where their clients are gives our advisors a clear understanding of the challenges facing today’s hospitality industry.
From evaluating hotel market positioning to analysis of sales, marketing, hotel receivership and service delivery, Cayuga’s experts can identify and guide owners to stabilize current operations and reveal opportunities to impact revenues streams and profitability.
Do you have the right hotel management company operating your property? The right management team? Is product delivery and customer service at the top end of the scale? Is the facility being operated and maintained sufficiently and efficiently? Each of these will affect property value.
Hotel Management agreements include an Illusory Performance Test which allows the hotel owner to terminate a management company that does not meet the standards of the performance test. If the owner is genuinely interested in having a meaningful performance test, the owner must think long and hard about what performance it wants to use as the test standard and what constitutes a failure of the test, and then negotiate hard to make the test meaningful and not an illusory cosmetic.
Cayuga consultant’s impressive performance history in asset management assignments, managing dramatic turnarounds at underperforming properties, positioning properties for recovery or for disposition, and experience in receivership and foreclosure allow for reliable guidance to effectively navigate a myriad of issues for owners to make informed decisions regarding their asset.
