The Alternaty Villa Management Process
Our Scope of Work: Villa Management
• An efficient management system will result in decreased operating
costs while at the same time the guest experience will be enhanced by
making use of fully trained staff and standardised procedures.
Alternaty’s villa management implementation process is typically
divided into 3 stages as follows:
a) Beginning with the standardised Alternaty Villa Operations
Manual, the SOPs will be tailored to meet the needs, expectations,
revenue and service goals of the Client. This process takes
approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
b) The HR process begins with presenting to the Client the
recommended Organisation Chart, hiring process and proposed
training (pre-opening stage). This process takes approximately 6
to 12 weeks depending on the number of villas to be managed.
c) Monitoring and control over the soft opening phase is essential
for the quality control of the services and for the preparation of
the official opening. This process take approximately 8 to 12
weeks depending on the number of villas to be managed.
The Alternaty Villa Standards Manual
including Brand Standards and detailed
SOP’s for each department will be
customised specifically for the property.

21. Why are we different?
Our Scope of Work: Villa Management
Whether operating under challenging market conditions
or in a developing economy, the key for a business to
survive is flexibility and the key for the business to
prosper is adaptability.
There are 100’s of brands, consultants and operators that
come with the same “standard” rigid formulas for
management, standardized room design and expensive
but unnecessary organizational structures.
How are we different?
At Alternaty, our Hotel Pre-opening and Operational Review services are
specifically tailored to the needs of the Hotel Owner, where our goals are
exactly aligned with the Owner. This means we have a common target in
terms of standards, revenue, and most importantly, in terms of costs.
We do not impose any fixed cage, inflexible brand standards, inappropriate
operation procedures nor costly investment requirements.
We work shoulder to shoulder with the Owner to maximize the value of the
investment or asset by applying, flexible tailored services, flexible
remuneration structures, adaptable working approaches and adaptable
operation standards.
August 2013 21
26. We refer to our Hotel Pre-opening Services as “Owner Representation”, whereby our support is given at every point of
operation or construction both for internal departments (front office, HR, housekeeping etc) and for external service
providers (sale and marketing, branding firms, franchise companies etc).
Owner Representation Service
Our Scope of Work: Hotel Pre-opening Services
Don’t buy a foreign GM…
rent one!
The Owner Representation service allow
us to offer what we call an “Interim GM”,
where our operations team takes over (or
reviews) the operation of the asset for a
limited time until the operation is
stabilized and is ready to be handed over
to a permanent GM and the Owner.

29. The majority of hotels and resorts in Vietnam and Asia are still managed without any clear management structure and
without standard procedures. The Owner believes that this is “cost saving” during the start up period, but in fact this is
detrimental for the medium to long term operation of the asset as it leads to:
• Inadequate level of guest services
• No control over service quality and no control over complaints or mistakes (no improvements)
• Wrong and inconsistent pricing and marketing strategy
• Wrong and inconsistent staff training (low staff motivation and only attract low quality staff)
• Unprofessional housekeeping and front office procedures
• High security and safety risks.
These mistakes are costing Owners much more than they think! Ask for our free “Face It and Fix It” Assessment.
A simple solution to this problem is the implementation of Standard Operation Procedures (SOP), tailored for the
specific property, which results in:
• Reduced operation costs
• Increase in occupancy and rates
• Increase in guest service level and staff experience
• Increase in property value
Don't get it wrong!

The Alternaty 4-step Process for
Hotel Operations Review
Our Scope of Work: Hotel Operations Review
• Whether 1 or 5 stars with 10 or 1,000 rooms, in the
city or resort location, each property operation must
follow certain best practices and standard operating
procedures to allow the property to:
• Operate optimally
• Maximizing revenue and profit
• Continually increasing the quality of stay,
guest service and value propositions
• Minimise operation costs, property physical
downgrading and staff turnover
• Some simple or more complex advice from a
veteran in the hotel industry could significantly
impact your profit and in turn, increase your asset
value.
• A Hotel Operations Review is a thorough
assessment of your hotel operations, starting from
obtaining an independent and objective perspective
of your operation, all the way down to
implementation of new, fresh and effective
operational procedures.
