01 Apr The Flair Hoteliers achieve planning security with transparency
Controlling software creates clarity at the push of a button and creates opportunities for comparison at a glance.
Ochsenfurt, February 2021 – Entrepreneurs are confronted with completely new questions in view of the Corona crisis. On the one hand: how long will my capital last for the fixed costs if the company is closed for longer? But also: How high are my fixed costs that I can claim in funding applications? And, above all, currently: is a pick-up transaction worthwhile? It is important to create planning security through business transparency.
For these reasons, too, the former hotelier Willi Nusser, who was a member of Flair Hotels for 37 years before the hotel was sold, developed an industry-specific program with the eagleControl software that provides comprehensible answers to these and numerous other questions at the push of a button.
Sophie von Seydlitz, Head of Sales and Marketing at Flair Hotels eV, is enthusiastic: “Due to the cooperation and use of the eagleControl systems, we offer our members a very attractive opportunity to coordinate and plan their business and statistical data not only competently, but also competently also quick to overlook. Because by using eagleControl, many Flair hoteliers have created business transparency in their businesses that provides planning security, especially in times of crisis. “
Planning security in times of crisis through business transparency
Planning security through transparency in the Corona year
Some Flair hoteliers have already used eagleControl’s free offer of comprehensive liquidity planning. The interactions between lost sales, cost reduction, repayment suspension and government support can be mapped in the controlling software with little effort. This makes capital bottlenecks visible over time. And with these well-founded calculations, the entrepreneurs could confidently z. B. go into bank talks.
Thomas Heimberger from the Flair Hotel Weinstube Lochner also used the new controlling program and reports: “My tax advisor is also enthusiastic about the clear and clear list.”
Over the past few months, hoteliers have been able to compare their actual numbers with their plans. In the rolling forecast, it became increasingly clear over the course of the year where the business would end up at the end of the year. It was therefore important under the given circumstances to immediately integrate the changed conditions into the planning through new specifications and regulations.

Exchange of experiences between the Flair hoteliers
Willi Nusser: “Particularly valuable at Flair Hotels is the personal exchange on a well-founded, comparable database in eagleControl.” In regular Flair workshops, which are currently mostly digital, operational key figures are openly exchanged and compared with benchmark values. In constructive discussions, the entrepreneurs enrich each other with tips, experiences and a collegial understanding. The possibility of being able to classify one’s own key figures with the help of average values from similar colleagues provides orientation and security and makes Flair Hotels a unique cooperation, because business management is lived here.
Maintaining liquidity is currently essential
Key figures and design of the pricing policy
Which key figures are important these days?
Willi Nusser advises: “Maintaining liquidity is of course essential at the moment. In the operational business, especially in the catering trade, costs and sales are often not in a good relationship, which in full hotels is often disguised by a profitable accommodation area. The lockdown should be used to fundamentally rethink familiar structures in order to emerge stronger from the crisis. The uncertain overall situation calls for a rethinking of the pricing and the calculation factors in order not to get under the wheels. In the catering industry in particular, our industry must now pull together and raise the price level together with confidence. ”
Intelligent and dynamic processes for the distribution of costs between the different company areas such as hotel and catering enable flexible full cost accounting. In this way, minimum prices for overnight stays or profitable calculation factors for food and drinks can be determined on the basis of the company’s own data.
The knowledge gained with eagleControl calls on hoteliers to make decisions in order to make their own company more economical in all areas. Every company has to find an individual pricing policy in which its own cost structure plays a very important role and with which one will continue to do well in the future.
