General Consulting
HVS/American Hospitality Management Company provides consulting services covering a wide range of subjects including operations, marketing and financial structure. We also coordinate consulting assignments with major international firms and members of the International Society of Hospitality Consultants, with which we enjoy special relationships, so that our clients get the maximum benefit for their dollars invested in consulting.

Operational and Marketing Analysis
We conduct operational and marketing reviews of hotels for the purpose of identifying shortcomings in marketing efforts, operational inefficiencies, service deficiencies which may be inappropriate for that particular hotel, improper and wasteful payroll scheduling and other waste. These reviews are very useful for increasing cash flow, developing workout plans or analyzing budgets and cash flow forecasts for hotels.

Demand Studies, Market Overviews and Impact Analysis
We conduct services for owners finding themselves in situations where they must respond to their franchisor locating an affiliate within the competitive area or for situations where either new construction is underway or a major refurbishing will drastically change the distribution of demand within the market. We also prepare abbreviated Market Overviews and Demand Studies which consist of a five to ten page report discussing the potential hotel market, how the proposed property should be positioned within it and include estimates of annual Occupancy Percentage and Average Daily Rate. Estimates of operating results over the first five years of operation are prepared. In cases where a full market demand study is required by a lender from an independent consulting firm, we coordinate and supervise the engagement to insure its accuracy and cost effectiveness.

Litigation Support and Expert Testimony
Our staff is experienced in assisting attorneys with hotel industry information, practices and analysis so as to support litigation involving hotels. That litigation experience includes operations, contract practices, marketing, financial structure, mortgage reviews and financial statement reviews, among others. We have staff who are experienced in both courtroom and administrative hearings.
