Why you should listen to me

Four hotels, back to back, and no playbook.

I opened four hotels for the same owners. Then they asked me to fill them. There was no revenue manager and no sales office, so I built the system myself.

I learned when guests actually book and how far out. I learned what the market will pay on a given night, and that there's a price where bookings start to flood in. I rebuilt the websites so they booked instead of just looking nice. I put real pricing software in so the rates moved every day. I wrote the group proposals and answered the RFPs.

"The ownership group provided the capital and the real estate. I built the systems, the teams and the operations, from the ground up."

Then I watched the same thing happen around me again and again. Small hotels sell, run for a couple of years, and go right back on the market. The owners never changed a rate, never had a sales process, never heard of an RFP. That's why I built Ramirez Hospitality Group, and it's what The Modern Hotel System fixes.

The four engines

Where the revenue goes when one is missing.

Engine one

Pricing

Revenue management software, a rate strategy for every room type and season, and rates worked every day.

Missing it: the same rate on a sold-out Saturday and an empty Tuesday.
At the LincolnPricing scored 10. Seven weeks after the new rates went live, bookings were coming in $40 a night higher.
Engine two

Distribution

A website that books in one screen, built so AI travel assistants can book it too, and channels sending the guests you want.

Missing it: your rate is the same everywhere, so nobody books direct.
At the LincolnDistribution scored 60. Now 73% of new revenue books on the hotel's own site.
Engine three

Sales

Group rates, proposals, RFP responses, planner listings and a follow-up process.

Missing it: "we told them to email us." They booked somewhere else.
At the LincolnSales scored 20. Group rates and buyouts were part of the $55K to $185K the audit found.
Engine four

Systems

The right cloud property system, set up correctly and connected to everything else.

Missing it: rates changed in three places by hand, and one is wrong.
At the LincolnSystems scored 60. The cloud system was there; connecting pricing software to it is what let rates move every day.

The system on a real hotel

The Lincoln, Marfa. Read, built, and running.

A Marfa boutique with a guest reputation most hotels would kill for, and two flat years: $442K, then $444K, with 270 more room nights of work to get the extra $1.5K. This is the same process your hotel would go through, with the real numbers.

Guests scored it 90, an A. Pricing scored 10. The hotel's own website sold rooms for $164 that its Expedia listing sold for $223, so its own website was the cheapest place to book it.

All four engines, set up for this hotel.

  • PricingA rate strategy for every room type and season, loaded into Duetto and live September 11.
  • DistributionExpedia mobile rates set up and tracked, with the hotel's own site kept as the main channel.
  • Rate ladderEvery room priced above the one below it, from the bunker room to the Pink House.
  • Run with the ownersA review every two weeks, and every one of 183 future nights re-checked in October.

This year Same day last year

$90.5K of room revenue on the books for November to April, against $50.8K at this point last year. October bookings came in $40 a night higher than the October before, with more nights, not fewer.

Cloudbeds and Duetto data, booked by October 27, 2026 against the same date in 2025. Results with the new pricing in place, alongside a strong Marfa fall.

4What the owners did next

"Now's the time to take advantage of this. I couldn't have come in a better time, and I appreciate the work you do."

Clark Childers, co-owner, The Lincoln

Then they asked for the next build: a new direct booking website, a loyalty program for their repeat guests, and training so their team can run it.

The Lincoln is one hotel. The process is the same for every property we take on, built around your own numbers.

  3. 3
    Run with you

    Rates worked every day, and a review with you every two weeks on the same kind of report the Lincoln owners get.

  4. 4
    Your numbers

    Room nights, average rate and direct share on the books against the same day last year, so you can see what changed and when.

Your part: answers, approvals and one call a week during the build.

The questions that decide it

Before you book.

01Is my hotel the right size for this?

If you're doing $500K or more a year as an independent boutique, lifestyle or resort-style property, yes. Revenue is the only line we draw.

02I already have a website. Why rebuild it?

Most boutique sites look good and book badly. We rebuild around one-screen booking and a direct rate that's set on purpose. If yours already books well, we say so on the call.

03Do I have to switch my property system?

Only if it isn't cloud-based. Pricing software can't connect to a desktop or legacy system, so that's when the PMS add-on applies.

04Which pricing software will I end up on?

Duetto, Lighthouse or Hotelitix, chosen for your property. The account is yours and stays in your name.

05Won't this just push me off Expedia and Booking.com?

No. The big sites are a cost of finding guests, and a useful one. The goal is to send the right guests through the right channel at the right rate, not to switch anything off.

06I've been burned by a consultant before. Why is this different?

Everything we build lives in your accounts and belongs to you. You can take it over any day.

07Can't I just do this myself?

You can, and the No Vacancy game and our free guides will teach you a lot of it. Most owners find the problem isn't knowing what to do. It's doing it every day while also running the hotel.

08I'm already slammed. How much of my time does this take?

Mostly answers, approvals and one call a week during the build. We do the work.

09Do you do group sales for me?

We build the sales process: rates, templates, listings and follow-up. After the build, we can run the group desk with you.

10Do you run my ads?

[OPEN: paid media stance]

11What if I leave after the build?

You keep the website, the software accounts and their settings, the rate strategy and the sales templates.

12What happens on the call?

Thirty minutes. We go through your last twelve months one engine at a time. You leave knowing which engine is costing you the most, whether or not you build.
