The historic sports training destinations is now benefitting from improved access to financial management technology and enhanced integrations across all operations departments

MARKHAM, Ontario, Sept. 10, 2024Maestro PMS, the hotel industry's leading Web Browser-based cloud and on-premises all-in-one property-management system, has teamed with industry-leading financial management platform Data Plus to elevate the technology offerings at the famed Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort. The seamless end-to-end integration is giving the property valuable insights into their financial performance, including occupancy rates, revenue streams, and more, and management is making better informed and more timely decisions to optimize operations and maximize profitability.

The seamless end-to-end integration is giving the property valuable insights into their financial performance, including occupancy rates, revenue streams, and more.

Prior to working with Maestro PMS and Data Plus, the hotel and golf resort relied on off-the-shelf accounting software to manage its financial processes. Lacking was a way to streamline its procurement and accounts payables processes, as well as connect its on-site accounting and operations teams with relevant, real-time information that was vital to stakeholders. That deficiency made investing in new technologies and facilitating peripheral system integrations non-viable.

"After partnering with Maestro PMS and Data Plus, our hotel's operations and financial scalability have never been stronger," said Rhiannon Hicks, Director of Accounting at the Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort. "Thanks to these and other integrations, our operations team has become nimbler, our projections are more accurate, and our hotel is more prepared. We look forward to continuing our relationships with both companies going forward."

Accessing Essential Data

At present, the Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort is leveraging Maestro PMS's Front Desk, Gift Card, Mobile Check in/Checkout, Mobile Housekeeping, ResWave Booking Engine, Sales and Catering, SMS Messaging, Work Order, and Yield Management modules, along with the Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Bank Reconciliation modules from Data Plus. As a result, relevant associates have the immediate access they need to essential data. For instance, daily revenue is automated directly from Maestro PMS and automatically transmitted to the Data Plus General Ledger, creating further unity between departments.

"Our partnership with the Francisco Grande Golf Resort has been nothing but exemplary, and we are confident that our integration with Maestro PMS will help position the property for continued success throughout 2024 and beyond," said Bruce Bensetler, CEO of Data Plus. "When hoteliers have access to today's cutting-edge financial reporting and management tools, they can better prepare for the future, generate more accurate forecasts and reduce errors across the board. We value our partnership with Maestro and are excited to contribute to the Francisco Grande's financial and operational success."

Centralized Data & Open APIs

Maestro PMS connects hotel outlets and their digital solutions through open APIs, and it shares data with other systems (point of sale, reputation management and revenue management systems, golf, spa, activities, condo and vacation rental etc.) on a single centralized database. This centralized data storage is a game changer for independent hotels as it improves operations by making additional capabilities more readily accessible. With Maestro, hotels embrace partnerships through third-party integrations to understand and predict guest needs, track their preferences over time, and be proactive with relevant offerings and services. Maestro's data storage command center speeds operations by building connections between departments. The result is heightened efficiency and revenue potential.

"We are thrilled to partner with the Francisco Grande Golf Resort and work alongside Data Plus to improve the resort's access to today's most essential operations technology," said Warren Dehan, president of Maestro. "Maestro is dedicated to helping hoteliers improve their daily operations by leveraging best-in-class integrations, mobile operations tools, and more. Our goal is to ensure hotels have the opportunity to build a resilient, efficient tech stack that suits each property's unique needs."

If a competitor's move triggers your rate change, that is market-based pricing, not dynamic

If a competitor's move triggers your rate change, that is market-based pricing, not dynamic

Lighthouse writer Joe Hanly published a ten-strategy hotel revenue management guide on Hotel News Resource on September 8, ranking real-time dynamic pricing first. Its most useful content is a test: a hotel whose rate changes mostly follow a competitor's move is running market-based pricing, whatever it is called internally. A companion explainer says audit the compset and rate plans first.

  • 01Market-based and dynamic pricing both watch competitors; the line Lighthouse draws is whether a competitor's rate is the trigger or one input alongside local events, booking pace and market trends.
  • 02Properties that have gone years without a structured rate-plan review often carry more active plans than anyone tracks, and those legacy floor rates and stay restrictions sit under any pricing engine layered on top.

STR: Summer 2025 was the weakest in four years

STR: Summer 2025 was the weakest in four years

STR said summer 2025 was the weakest U.S. hotel summer in four years: as of an Aug. 22 weekly report (with two weeks left), hotels had sold 1.4 million fewer room nights than summer 2024 and top 25 market weekday RevPAR was down 2.3% in mid-August. STR said business travel plateaued while leisure held up weekends. Hotel Dive reported widespread U.S. RevPAR growth in Q1 2026, making 2025 the comparison base.

  • 01Weekday performance is a key read on business travel: in the week ending Aug. 16, 2025, top 25 market weekday RevPAR fell 2.3%, per STR; in that same update, non-metro and rural areas posted a 0.7% full-week RevPAR gain.
  • 02The 2025 demand loss was concentrated, not spread evenly: STR traced 45% of the economy-class decline to 10 markets, with Houston and Las Vegas alone near a quarter of it, so a national average can hide a very different local picture.
  • 03The gap between occupancy on the books and occupancy actually realized, flagged by CoStar in Las Vegas, Houston, Philadelphia and Orlando in June 2025, is a sharper thing for a revenue manager to track than headline RevPAR.

Aimbridge's LIFT tool flags hotel staffing gaps before the financials do

Aimbridge's LIFT tool flags hotel staffing gaps before the financials do

Aimbridge Hospitality has rolled out LIFT, an in-house labor tool, portfolio-wide. It puts forecasting, scheduling and on-floor actuals into one view, and pilot hotels saw the largest productivity gains in housekeeping and laundry. For owners, Aimbridge positions it as a way to spot staffing variance sooner than waiting for month-end financials.

  • 01Hotel Business describes LIFT as a proprietary tool that Aimbridge has launched across its own portfolio, which turns labor analytics into a point of comparison between third-party operators.
  • 02Housekeeping and laundry were where pilot hotels saw the biggest productivity gains, which suggests demand-driven scheduling tools have the most room to act in departments where daily workload swings with occupancy.
  • 03Aimbridge has not published numeric pilot results; the signal to watch is whether it releases labor-cost or GOP flow-through figures from the full rollout, which would give owners a real benchmark.
