FAQs

Find answers to common questions and learn more about how we can help you.

Why are my guest numbers fluctuating despite good reviews and strong demand?
Guest numbers fluctuate because bookings depend heavily on pricing strategy, channel mix, guest segmentation, and loyalty rather than just reviews.
Stratefix Consulting helps hospitality businesses develop data-driven yield strategies, channel optimisation, and guest segmentation so occupancy becomes more stable and less vulnerable to market swings.
Why is my hotel/restaurant team turnover so high, and how is it hurting service consistency?
High staff turnover is one of the top HR-challenges in hospitality recruiting skilled, committed staff, scheduling shifts, training and engaging them are ongoing problems.
Stratefix Consulting supports you in building team stability, clear role definitions, performance management, and retention systems so service consistency improves and guests feel the difference.
Why is guest experience inconsistent across different locations or service zones (rooms, F&B, events)?
In hospitality, the guest journey spans multiple touch-points check-in, room service, food & beverage, events, housekeeping and if these don’t follow a unified standard, the experience drops.
Stratefix Consulting helps hospitality brands set service benchmarks, cross-department coordination, and guest-experience review systems so every location and service zone aligns with your brand promise.
Why is expanding into new regions, formats or service lines so challenging in hospitality?
Expansion in hospitality often stalls because operational, brand, guest-service and team readiness aren’t synchronised for the new format or geography.

Stratefix Consulting helps evaluate market fit, brand alignment, team readiness, operational templates so your expansion works without diluting your guest promise or brand equity.
Why do costs keep creeping up even when occupancy and revenue are increasing?
Many hospitality businesses experience growing costs from labour inefficiencies, over-staffing, energy use, inconsistent service levels, and procurement waste even while revenue grows.

Stratefix Consulting assists you in establishing cost-efficiency systems that retain guest quality, reviewing staffing models, service cycles and energy/resource usage so revenue growth translates into improved profit.
When should a hospitality business engage consulting support beyond routine operations?
When you find that growth is creating complexity, guest experience is inconsistent, teams are overloaded, costs are rising despite high demand, or expansion feels risky that’s the time to consider consulting.
Stratefix Consulting helps hospitality operators build scalable systems, aligned teams and execution discipline so growth becomes controlled, brand promise is maintained and guest loyalty deepens.
