At Capcon, our mission is to help hospitality businesses overcome challenges, improve operations, and drive profitability through tailored solutions. In this case study, we’re proud to showcase how our expertise in stock control and mystery guest reviews enabled one of our hospitality clients to significantly reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and deliver a better guest experience.
The Challenge
A mid-sized hospitality business, operating a chain of boutique hotels and restaurants, approached Capcon with two critical issues:
- High Operating Costs: Their inventory management processes were inefficient, leading to over-ordering, waste, and stock shortages.
- Inconsistent Guest Experiences: Despite generally positive feedback, the client lacked insight into areas where their service delivery fell short, resulting in missed opportunities to delight guests.
These challenges were affecting profitability and customer satisfaction, prompting the business to seek expert guidance.
The Solution
- Implementing Specialised Stock Controls
Our team began by conducting a comprehensive audit of the client’s stock management processes. Using Capcon’s specialised stock control solutions, we:
- Identified inefficiencies in ordering and storage.
- Recommended inventory tracking systems to reduce waste and prevent stock-outs.
- Provided detailed data analysis to forecast demand accurately, allowing the client to adjust their purchasing strategies.
The result was a more streamlined process that minimised waste and optimised costs, ensuring the right stock levels at all times.
- Mystery Guest Reviews to Improve Guest Experience
To address service inconsistencies, Capcon deployed professional mystery guests to visit the client’s properties unannounced. These reviewers evaluated the entire guest experience, from initial booking to check-out, providing detailed reports on:
- Quality of customer service.
- Cleanliness and maintenance of facilities.
- Efficiency of service delivery, including food and beverage operations.
Using this feedback, the client implemented targeted staff training programmes and made operational adjustments, such as improving wait times and streamlining check-in processes.
The Results
- Cost Savings: The improved stock control systems resulted in a 25% reduction in inventory costs, saving the business thousands annually.
- Enhanced Guest Satisfaction: Mystery guest feedback helped the client improve service consistency, leading to a noticeable increase in positive customer reviews.
- Operational Efficiency: Staff productivity improved thanks to clearer processes and focused training.
