Private Hospitality Operations Advisory
Helping Independent Hotel and STR Owners Make Faster, More Profitable Decisions
A private advisory for owners who already have revenue but need faster, clearer operational decisions.
The Core Problem
The real problem isn’t lack of effort or intelligence.
It’s decision friction.
Most independent operators are blocked by:
• Too many tools with overlapping roles
• Unclear operating leverage
• Revenue signals that conflict with operational reality
• No external pressure to decide and move forward
• No one accountable for calling “this matters, that doesn’t”
This compounds quietly.
And it is expensive.
What I actually help you do
I help owners identify, pressure-test, and resolve the 2–3 decisions that are actively suppressing profit, capacity, or momentum in their business.
Not eventually.
Not hypothetically.
In real time.
Examples of outcomes:
• Clarity on whether to add units, raise rates, or simplify operations
• Clear yes/no decisions on software, staffing, or process changes
• A defensible operating model that stops constant second-guessing
• Fewer decisions overall, executed faster and with confidence
How This is Different From Consulting
Most consulting delivers:
• Frameworks
• Deliverables
• Recommendations without accountability
This advisory delivers:
• Ongoing decision pressure
• Real-world context from someone actively operating
• Clear prioritization, not more options
• Bias toward execution, not analysis
You are not paying for ideas.
You are paying to stop being stuck.
Who this is for
This advisory is for you if:
• You own or operate a small hotel or STR portfolio (roughly 10–100 units)
• Revenue exists, but profitability and clarity lag behind effort
• You are constantly reacting instead of executing deliberately
• Decisions feel heavy because everything is interconnected
• You do not need tactics. You need judgment, sequencing, and tradeoffs
This is not for early-stage operators, course seekers, or anyone looking for templates.
How it works
This is designed to integrate into an already full operating life.
Monthly engagement
• Limited number of active clients
• One primary operating conversation per month
• Ongoing async discussion and decision review as needed
• No decks, no fluff, no busywork
Engagement structure
This is a private, ongoing advisory retainer designed for operators already managing real scale and complexity.
Engagements typically begin at $5,000 per month, depending on scope and fit.
This is not priced for access.
It is priced for focus, seriousness, and leverage.
If this fee feels heavy, the advisory will not work.
If it feels proportional to the cost of indecision, it likely will.
The outcome
Operators typically use this engagement to:
• Reduce operational blind spots
• Avoid expensive or unnecessary mistakes
• Make decisions faster and with more confidence
• Clarify what actually needs attention versus noise
• Build operating structures that hold up under pressure
The goal is not growth for growth’s sake.
The goal is operating a business you trust.
Who I Am
I’ve spent over two decades operating in hospitality across luxury hotels and short-term rentals.
I currently run Recreation Stays, a hospitality management company operating real properties, with real staff, real owners, and real consequences.
This advisory exists because I kept seeing the same pattern:
capable operators stalled by too many unresolved decisions, not lack of knowledge.
How to Start
I do not accept every inquiry.
