Cost & Expense control

1834 Hotels specialises in the management and providing visibility and analysis of hotel costs and expenses.  Cost control and expense management is often where the profit is made or lost within the business and we give this area our full attention. If high costs and expenses sound like a familiar story, don’t worry it’s not too late – see more on our cost controls here 

Wage control

Wage and employment cost control is absolutely critical to your business.  Hotels, motels, apartments and resorts must control and effectively manage their wages & rosters to ensure profitably. Often a Manager just doesn’t have the ability to effectively execute a strategic rostering system to reduce overall employment expenses. This is where we shine. see more on wage controls here
