Guest house bill format for small businesses

hi everyone yes the day I ran into somebody at the supermarket and they said to me they heard me speak about that we have our own overnight accommodation oh yeah this overnight so could I speak a little bit more about it as they thinking of doing something like us I said - not a problem that's what I'm yeah for I'm yeah to try and give value try to help try to educate so today we're going to talk a little bit about guest houses overnight accommodation and just try to see where we can help all right so basically in the big cities you find a lot of them and a lot of the guys are struggling when you speak to them and there's only a handful that is actually doing well the biggest problem is that everyone's doing the same thing everyone's just waiting for the business to come to them that doesn't work anymore you've got to chase the business so some pointers for today if you're doing overnight there's a difference between overnight and guest hours so people you know they call themselves guest houses but they're not really guest houses you know they don't offer the facility of a guest house so I always say look if you know you've got a room you're offering self catering and those are the small things that you actually offering call yourself an overnight somebody comes in overnight and they move out guest houses you'll be going offering your meals venues I always say that is the way I look at it now the most important thing and this is what I say to everybody is go and have a look at your costs now at a certain level from - about five six seven rooms people started bringing staff to run it too many jirzyn that it doesn't really make money only after a certain amount of rooms you actually really do make money to have a receptionist and start to have staff where you don't have to work it now overnight not a bad business and I've advised a lot of people in this situation let's say for instance you need to make yourself a couple of rounds and you're looking for a second income and a safe income is that you know you can actually invest in changing a little bit of your house and creating some rooms nice rooms aircon rooms and try to create a little bit of extra income now this advice comes more to the elderly that I have actually spoken to and I always say to them you know be careful don't don't spend tons of cash in a business you know what make your two or three rooms get a reputation out there that it's nice people come and stay there you get your regulars and there's a lot of people that like that kind of atmosphere because they say it is more of a family orientated type of atmosphere now what I say to people here as well is you know you've got a small place people can run and they get credit card machines and then there are cheaper ways to do it credit card machine to expensive purchase your own credit card machines you can buy credit card machines from a thousand three hundred to two thousand rand because you're not doing a lot of transactions keep your costs low when you're doing your m-net channels thank God for the very big package just go for your sports choose your smaller packages try to keep your costs low if you don't have a lot of root don't do all the own washing get a laundry service to come out you know you'll cost how much it costs for a towel how much it costs for a sheet and you exactly can know how to budget and see what you're doing now one of the biggest things is that and like I said most people are they're not really making money they they you know what win is a big function they are soccer games rugby games or whatever what type of city you living in yes they'll make money for those couple of days but in general they don't really make money so this is my advice to you is you need to think out the box you need to have a look what your competition around you is doing see what the pricing is make sure that you're not overpriced make sure that you doesn't help to go into price water make yourself too cheap as well because rather start with a little bit of less price 50-round because then you shoot yourself in the foot now one of the other things I always say is market yourself a lot of places they don't even have any advertising late at night people driving boss they can't even see that it is a guesthouse or an overnight accommodation market yourself going to Facebook create your page you know that people can actually have a look in the beginning you don't have business get yourself involved to these agencies that actually bring your business they do take a commission and that but at the end of the time day as your business grows that Commission will come down you will start to have more regulars it's not bad to give that commission to give your business that boost that it actually means now what you do is you go to the supermarket's they've always got these boards where you can put your advertising advertise you know your your guesthouse go to the hospitals they've got board who down and Edward there you know start to find company so you find out which companies do send people to grow front on your bigger companies and put out a package deal go to the state agents tell them look you know what when people are moving from one city to another and maybe the property is not ready for some other reason they might have been a burst pipe or the painters hadn't finished you know what we will give you guys a rate for people to stay and we're happy to give you a discount and a kickback back to them so that encourages them to promote your place go to a guesthouse that's around you big there are big guest houses and there or maybe constantly full with functions and they do have contracts and say to them look you know please if you are full and you can't you know complete all the requirements so it's a big group and you'd need a bit of space we just down the road we're more than happy to kick you back a 10% discount so that there is a reason for them and an incentive for them to actually say you know what we really want to actually do business with you very very important your place needs to be clean people look at reviews I cannot tell you how important reviews are many people go on the internet they have a look what other people have put there and that is what counts don't in the beginning get the brace and down because people put bad reviews and that you learn from that try always ask yourself you know would I stay in this room is this up to the requirements that would be good enough for me and that is how you always gotta see very important make sure that you have Wi-Fi Wi-Fi has become the essential thing companies are constantly having people coming through people are with their kids everybody wants Wi-Fi you know I without Wi-Fi you struggle in today's time you're gonna lose such a big portion of your business so Wi-Fi important put out a little bit of an entertainment area have a bride go and put yourself a small bright area if you've got space put in a pool table if you don't know if you can put in a table tennis more it actually says you know what there is something else to do you know people come they want to relax they like to brine the kids maybe want to play pool now you start to draw bigger crowds to your place it is essential that you understand what's around you don't have a look at your competition make sure what they are doing and try to do something better now what I always say to people is you know when you come to my place I like you to feel at home and that's how people should be you know when they come make them feel comfortable make them feel at home don't just leave the keys there let them come in because you know what if they've got a query of every question they need to ask now the other thing is you know at the end of the day it is so essential to always be promoting yourself and that person that leaves there does promote your business so in a nutshell what I am trying to say is at the end of the day do guesthouses work do overnight accommodations work yes they do work but if you planning to sit like this and wait for the business then you're just going to become one of those guys that are always moaning and groaning and say my business is struggling there's always going to be people looking for accommodation another thing that you can do is if your business is struggling you can have long stays company's always needing places for a week two weeks three weeks offer then go and talk to estate agents tell them look somebody's coming maybe they want to look at a property or whatever we do give those things always be promoting your business don't sit like this and wait it just doesn't happen there are many people out there that are looking to promote their businesses so if I can tell you one thing and this is the best advice that I can give you today go out there promote promote promote your business and you will not be one of those moaners and growers thank you very much curiosity uglies and thank you for the white people that have subscribed on YouTube we're on YouTube right now so we climbing that ladder and we're climbing it fast thank you very much
