Hotel Management

Few areas are as important to planning and decision making as efficient accounting systems. Up-to-date information on occupancy; room rates; food and beverage costs; and revenue, are frequently analyzed to allow management to more efficiently guide the operations of a property.

Our expertise in financial planning for the owner is reflected in our commitment to develop accurate operating forecasts, cash flow projections, capital expenditure plans and recommendations enabling each owner to make timely and well-informed investment decisions.

SHG submits a monthly, detailed profit and loss statement showing the results of operations for the preceding calendar month, the operating year to date and a comparison with the same month of the preceding year. All such profit and loss statements are prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Hotel Accounts.

SHG handles all aspects of operating a successful and efficient hotel. This includes recruiting, hiring and training all on-site staff; designing and installing all operating, control and reporting systems; preparing pre-opening and first-year operating budgets, as well as cash flow projections; and creating comprehensive sales action, pre-opening marketing and advertising plans.

For a new hotel opening its doors, operational planning starts early. Staffing needs are evaluated; efficient operating procedures are developed; food and beverage service is planned; costs and revenues are projected and analyzed; and on-site management is selected. When the property is in final stages of construction, operational testing begins.

And, by the time the hotel opens its doors, it can begin to operate efficiently and profitably.

Our commitment to excellence is supported by comprehensive training programs, based on our belief that every hotel employee must be sales oriented. Sales goals are uniquely established for each sales associate. From the moment of hiring and ongoing, we provide strategic training to our sales teams that incorporate our company's sales and marketing philosophies on building business. We believe in the "back-to-basics" of calling on our customers, personally, so we may capture and retain their business.
