I am a novice and want to run a hotel. How can I start from scratch?

If you join a hotel, you generally need to check whether there is a direct store in the headquarters and its operation.

Shops usually pay rent in the first quarter or half a year. After three months of operation, if there is no hope of profit, the direct store may stick to it for another three months, but if it fails to achieve profit for half a year, it will choose to give up. Therefore, the length of continuous operation of direct stores can determine the basis of profit and affirm the feasibility of the project.

The more direct stores a brand owns, the longer the direct stores operate, and the richer the accumulated practical experience.

First, investment decisions.

Novices, whether hiring professional consultants or having relevant knowledge, should plan well in the initial investment decision of opening a hotel. First of all, we should do a good job in market research.

(1) Beginners need to know the basic economic indicators such as city, hotel area, population, industry, business structure, etc., and make an understanding of potential tourists in the future.

(2) Novices need to make a judgment on the level of the current industry, so they need to analyze the average data of each star in the local hotel industry, and then locate their own hotel level according to their needs.

(3) The hotel industry is varied, and the brand culture, design style and service level of each competitive hotel are different, which requires novices to have an overall view of competitors and make clear their own hotel direction.

Secondly, clear product planning. Novices who want to return to their profits as soon as possible must plan their products well. On the one hand, we should analyze the current customer demand and establish the product positioning and concept; On the other hand, novice operators should have business philosophy, that is, clear hotel style, facilities, brand culture output and so on. Good product planning is a favorable support for good marketing in the hotel industry.

Finally, make a good financial analysis. How a novice opens a hotel must be estimated well in the early stage. Investment is nothing more than a return, and all expenditures can be clearly defined. Combined with the calculation of future operating profit and loss, the risk of novice hotel opening can be well controlled.

Second, the project implementation

Now that the preliminary plan has been determined, the implementation of the landing work will begin. Because this requires a strong overall coordination ability, it is a test for beginners. Of course, you can also hire a full-time project manager to share your work pressure. In the early stage of planning and design of project implementation, operators should intervene as early as possible to avoid serious planning injuries and affect future operations.

Therefore, first of all, novice operators need to determine the location problem, at least to ensure that the selected lots can be used in the hotel industry; Secondly, starting from the design planning and construction scheme, novice operators need to review the designer's design scheme and cooperate with the construction party; Finally, the relevant business license is essential for the opening of the hotel. Next, operators need to make management preparations, from department formulation to personnel preparation, as well as pre-procurement and marketing. Planning the workflow is very important.

Third, post-operation management

For a novice hotel owner, a well-prepared, well-planned and well-prepared hotel can determine its future success. However, although the preparatory work of a hotel is very heavy and complicated, it is only the beginning, and the later operation management is what novices need to worry about. Therefore, the hotel management system is also an indispensable part of the hotel industry, which can help novice operators to better coordinate the hotel and layout planning. With the continuous development and progress of the Internet, cloud hotel management system has been applied more and more. For novices, it can further control hotel costs and improve work efficiency.
