P E A K S E A S O N • Does your Xmas tree reflect your hotel? Many hotels have been beautified in recent years, so make sure you aren’t still using Xmas decorations from the 1980s. The same goes for those elf hats that staff love to wear! • If Christmas and New Year are shaping up to be a resounding success, look further forward. Can you repeat that success with other festive events in 2024, such as introducing Chinese New Year and Diwali, both of which are celebrated by a large number of people in Australia. CARE FOR STAFF With full bookings and hectic days, the festive season means long hours for your staff. While everyone else is having fun, they are experiencing peak workload. With staff shortages affecting many hotels, the pre- Chrismas period is the time to be putting plans in place to be able to respond when chefs and other key staff fall sick. Consider cross-training, so that staff can be moved into other roles to fill gaps when required. Keep an eye on rostering, wages and hours. Are they where they should be? Don’t over-staff in quieter times. This is the time to let staff have a break – and keep your wages bill down. The AHA|SA has resources for stressed staff (and owners) on its website. You can also listen to a series of great podcasts here . Helping staff manage their stress and work-life balance is important in 2023. BUY CHEAP BUT WATCH CASHFLOW Smart publicans buy big when prices are cheap. The lead-up to the party season often sees good discounts. There are stories of hotel owners filling their home garage, shed and spare rooms with product they bought in November but won’t use until well into the new year. Your food. Your menu. Your brand..
