back to work

James and I worked with reorganizing the hotel's reservations system to work better with our current marketing channels. Its been fun, because I've also been helping Jay and James create promotional offers to help raise sales in some of our slower time frames.

After RevMax meeting today, my little project was to fix a spreadsheet that the night auditor uses. Every night, the night auditor enters the day's final numbers ranging from the number of guests to amount of different market segments' revenue. After these numbers are entered in, the excel sheet then links the numbers to different reports for different managers to use all over the hotel. Unfortunately the last two nights, July's spreadsheet has not been working correctly and it was my job to find the problem and fix it. After a little excel detective work (jeez that sounds cheesy), I figured out the problem and fixed it. It was one of those moments where I was on my own and able to help out James. Not sure exactly what tomorrow has in store, but I bet it will involve managing some revenue :)!
