Franchise Management Module

Why do you need it?

In today’s extremely competitive market scenario, all hotels are struggling to continuously stay ahead of the competition. It needs no substantiation that chain hotels by virtue of the immense synergies, distribution network, central reservation systems, pan-India sales and marketing infrastructure, support and a deeper knowledge pool have a tremendous edge over stand-alone hotels. The world of hotel distribution and marketing today is increasingly dependent on online sales via third parties, or directly through a branded website, it is becoming more and more difficult for independent hoteliers to obtain adequate rooms sales. In India, where based on a recent study it could be said that well over 50% of hotels are franchised, clients are much more likely to place their trust in a known brand; a phenomenon reinforced by the use of loyalty cards, enabling guests to amass points just like airline miles, and use them for free stays or other advantages.

Regular energy audits are conducted to ensure that the energy costs are always in control. Advancements in technology and best practices in the industry are communicated to all hotels. Also, information on new products and systems is made available at periodic intervals. We at IHPL have few of the country’s finest knowledge set for the designing and commissioning of a mid-priced hotel-clearly differentiating it from the top-end and bottom-end of the industry.

Human Resource Management & Learning Development Support – It is now a well-known fact that qualified professionals prefer a chain, where they see growth possibilities rather than a standalone unit.
