Providing service, or serving guests is what we consider the job of every person that is working in the hospitality industry. To take something that has been taken for granted in the mentioned industry for years now, to the highest level, we need to analyze every step of what we call ‘’service’. Does the service start and end when we decide or when the guest decides? How do guests' expectations arise and how are they important for creating superior service? Is top-notch service possible only in prestigious restaurants and hotels or can a local coffee shop also achieve this?

Through this training, in addition to the answers to these questions, the participants will also get the knowledge needed to develop the skill of creating an ordinary service into a superior service.

What drives the competitive advantage of any business, in particular in the service industry? You may know it, but you still need to acknowledge it through compelling evidence: People. It is people who are at the core of the service-profit value chain. In the context of a war for talent, people management is a critical key to a company’s profit. 

Ask yourself what is the basic formula of profit.

The answer is simple; Revenue minus costs = Profit.

What is your hospitality business worth? Do you know how to go about estimating the value of your business? 

Value adding is a key driver in today‘s hospitality and restaurant business. Besides satisfying customers and having happy employees, a hotel manager must add value to the bottom line of its operation. The owners expect a return on investment and a certain level of profitability and this can only be achieved if managers know how to monitor their operations and control costs. Managers must be experts and acrobats in taking financial decisions, very often with only limited information and resources, and still be able to forecast the consequences of their choices. Mastering figures will give managers the competitive advantage and will put them in a position to influence the bottom line of their operations.

Managementul Veniturilor (MV) se referă la o modalitate diferită de a gestiona afacerile, bazată pe o idee foarte veche. Fiecare vânzător din istoria umanității s-a confruntat cu decizii de tip MV. Ce preț să ceară? Ce oferte să accepte? Când să ofere un preț mai mic? Și când să-și "strângă cortul", ca să spunem așa, și să încerce să vândă la un moment ulterior sau într-o piață diferită?

In today's highly competitive world, creating value is a key success factor. But in order for this to happen, it is vital that managers understand where to find the information that will allow them to assess if they are creating value (or not), and how their day-to-day decisions will have an impact on it.

This programme requires a prior understanding of financial statement and accounting concepts.

Today’s highly competitive environments demand that managers think ahead and develop plans to manage evolving challenges. This process of thinking ahead and developing responses to the future environment is the essence of strategic behavior. All businesses develop plans to manage the future but the plans are often informal, unstructured, or sporadic in their application. In this module, participants will understand the importance of developing appropriate strategic plans to ensure the organization’s competitiveness and success.

Owners, Operators, Lenders and Consultants tend to scrutinise the investment decision according to their own constituent criteria rather than look at the totality of the whole project and other ownership priorities. So what if the shareholder level of return is not commercial against 10 year norms? Does a brand automatically deliver enhanced value? What if hotel occupancy is forecasted to be no more than 60% after a 2 year trading build up? Should a uniform debt service cover ratio determine the gearing for all types of hotels? How subjective is the professional valuation process?

Diferențele sunt inevitabile într-o organizație care are membri cu experiențe, atitudini și așteptări diferite. Cu toate acestea, unele conflicte pot susține obiectivele organizaționale. Într-adevăr, prea puțin conflict poate duce la apatie, lipsă de creativitate, indecizie și termene limită ratate. Ciocnirile de idei despre sarcini ajută de asemenea la alegerea unor sarcini și proiecte mai bune. Acestea sunt ‚conflictele funcționale‘. Cele mai dificile conflicte sunt cele care apar din diferențe de valori. Problema cheie este să înțelegem cauza reală a diferențelor.

Modulul va aborda cum să facem o utilizare mai bună a diferitelor canale de distribuție pentru a crește potențialul de venituri și profit din astfel de surse. Vom folosi studii de caz din lumea reală pentru a vedea cum s-a evoluat marketingul de-a lungul anilor și cum au răspuns companiile hoteliere. Vom lega marketingul strategic de știința de azi a prețurilor (adică sincronizarea tarifelor), managementul veniturilor (disponibilitatea fără întrerupere a inventarului), oportunitățile disponibile de a ținti și vinde indivizilor în loc de mase, și conexiunea cu obiectivele CRM (Customer Relationship Management). Vom stimula un mediu de discuție deschisă (interactivă) unde vederile și paradigmele tradiționale pot fi contestate și unde optimizarea distribuției este numele jocului.
