"The hospitality industry has always struggled with the difficulties of accurately planning for ever changing demand," says Gerber Systems' president, Chip Gerber. "The high costs associated with chronic overstaffing are somewhat obvious, but understaffing can be just as costly if it means the customer experience suffers." Hospitality Plus offers the industry the first real opportunity to reduce labor cost without sacrificing customer service. Those using the solution are already seeing dramatic results.
The Scottsdale Conference Resort of Scottsdale, AZ, has achieved impressive savings using the product. Brian Altman, corporate controller for the resort, found a striking difference when comparing the quarter after Hospitality Plus was installed with the same quarter a year ago. "Though the volume of business was 15 percent higher, we still reduced 20,000 hours from last year. That means we saved over $100,000 - with no decrease in service." At that rate, Altman projects the resort will save approximately $500,000, plus benefits, in the first year of implementation.
Gerber Systems, a Kronos partner, designed Hospitality Plus to interface with Kronos' Timekeeper Central software. For more information on Hospitality Plus, contact Gerber Systems at 1-800-231-7701, ext. 425, or visit
