Hotels — Data Analyst

A senior data analyst for hotels

A hotel pays commission on every room sold through an online travel agency, yet most guests discover and book there because the hotel's own booking path is slower, less clear, or harder to trust. At the same time the front desk juggles check-ins, housekeeping updates, special requests, and messages across several channels, and a single missed note becomes a bad review that future guests read first.

The fixable losses in a hotel are coordination losses: rates and availability that disagree between channels, a guest request recorded in one system and invisible in another, housekeeping status chased by phone, and guest data scattered across the property management system, the booking engine, and email. The work below is about making the guest journey and the staff workflow run on the same facts.

What you get

What this engagement covers for hotels

Weekly reporting on occupancy, direct booking share, and the handful of numbers that actually drive profit here.
Item and offer analysis: what sells, what wastes, and what only looks popular because it is discounted.
Demand patterns by day, hour, and season, so rotas and ordering match reality instead of habit.
Channel analysis: which booking and ordering channels earn their commission, and which only look busy.
Lapsed and repeat guest analysis, so win-back effort goes to guests worth winning back.
A short, plain-language report each week, with one recommended action, not a dashboard nobody opens.

Working in hotels

Built for how hotels actually operate

Operations. In a hotel, the property management system is the centre of gravity, with the channel manager, booking engine, and housekeeping tools around it. Anything new must respect that: no double entry at the front desk, no rate change that has to be typed into three places, and no guest-facing promise the housekeeping team cannot see. Engagements are scoped with the front desk and housekeeping in the room, not just management.

Tools and systems. Hotels commonly run Cloudbeds, Mews, or Oracle OPERA Cloud as the property management system, SiteMinder as channel manager, and Booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb as distribution channels, with Stripe for payments and Duetto or similar tools for revenue analysis. Guest messaging and reviews often sit in Revinate or the PMS itself. The job is to keep rates, availability, and guest information consistent across those systems, and to make direct booking genuinely easier than booking through an agency.

Outcomes. Expect decisions backed by the venue's own numbers: quiet periods staffed sensibly, weak items removed with evidence, and marketing aimed at guests who actually return.

How it works

From kickoff to delivery for hotels

Agree the five numbers that matter
With the owner, the few metrics that drive decisions here are chosen, and everything else is parked.
Clean the data for those numbers
Till, booking, and review data are checked for gaps and duplicates, and the limits of the data are stated plainly.
Build one weekly report
A single report, tested with the owner for two weeks, replaces ad-hoc spreadsheet digging.
Review actions, not just charts
Each week one action is agreed from the report, and next week checks whether it worked.

Why Omer

Why hire Omer

Senior-only delivery: one person owns the work, its decisions, and its handover, for hotels specifically.
Built around your existing systems, not a rip-and-replace: the tools your team already trusts stay in place.
Measured on bookings, orders, and hours saved, not on activity reports or vanity metrics.
Plain-language reporting: what was done, what it returned, and what comes next, in terms an owner can act on.
No lock-in theatre: your data, your accounts, and your documentation, handed over properly.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Our data is messy. Is that a problem?

Usually it is normal, and it is stated plainly rather than hidden. The work starts with the slice of data one decision needs, and cleans that, instead of promising a perfect dataset.

Will we get a dashboard?

Only if it will be used. Most owners get more from a short weekly report with one recommended action than from a dashboard they open twice and forget.

Will this disturb the front desk during check-in peaks?

No. Hotel work is planned around check-in and check-out peaks, and nothing is changed live during them. Changes are staged, tested on a small set of rooms or rates first, and only rolled out once the front desk team has used them in a quiet period.

Do you work with our property management system?

Yes. The PMS, whether Cloudbeds, Mews, or OPERA Cloud, stays the system of record. New work connects to it through its supported integrations or the channel manager, SiteMinder in many cases, rather than building a second source of truth beside it.

Can direct bookings really compete with the big travel sites?

They can win a share of them, not all of them. The realistic goal is a better direct path: clear rates, no confusing extras at checkout, and a reason to book direct such as flexible terms or a small perk. Even a modest shift in direct share is worth more than it looks, because it repeats on every stay.
