After You Buy a Hotel: Partnering with Vendors
Choosing the Right Vendors to Partner With after You Buy a Hotel
When you buy a hotel, you’ll be thrown into the decision making process. You’ll have a lot of choices to make, and sometimes that can be overwhelming. Deciding on a vendor to work with is one of the most critical decisions you’ll have to make. Today in the Southeast International Hotel Brokers blog, our hospitality brokers give some tips on choosing vendors after you buy a hotel.
What Makes a Good Partner
When you choose a vendor, you want to make sure they’re someone you could see your business working with for a long time. Cycling through vendors until you find the right one can be both exhausting and inconvenient. A good vendor should be trustworthy, reliable, and someone you can consistently count on. These are all the pillars of a good vendor partner, but there are more considerations you need to make when choosing a vendor.
Things to Consider
After you buy a hotel, you’ll need vendor partners for food, drinks, soaps, and many other amenities. So what are the considerations you should make when choosing these partners? Here are a few:
Do They Match Your Brand?: If you hotel has distinct branding, you want to make sure your vendor partners match the brand you’re going for. It may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference when creating cohesiveness at your hotel.
Do They Fit Your Budget?: You may prefer the products of one vendor to another, but what if the other vendor is much more expensive? You may have to make a tough call and go with the less costly choice if it fits your budget better. You don’t want to overstretch your budget and put yourself in financial straits.
Can They Meet Your Needs?: Finally, you need to make sure the vendor can meet your needs on a consistent basis. Can they make deliveries on time? Do they have the supplies to constantly restock you when you need it? These are all important considerations for you to make after you buy a hotel.
