Hands-on Approach

Pinnacle Hospitality Consulting is led by CEO Morgan Ayres with over 25 years of customer service experience.  Our passion is helping business owners achieve success through a great customer experience and operational excellence.  We will support your leaders, team and business to move to the next level.  Our personal and detailed approach will help identify opportunities and create strategic plans to improve your business now, and in the future.  We will work with your entire team, shoulder-to-shoulder, to develop and increase their capability and capacity.  We are one of the only consulting companies that create sustainable and strategic action plans for your business and provide full support with execution.  We start by assessing your business’ revenue and cash flow.  We audit your expenses and waste for quick wins and cost-savings.  We then assess the customer and team member experience and provide a step-by-step action plan to improve and elevate.  We use this data to build a comprehensive strategy on what problems to solve first, from the foundation up.  This plan we then execute with you and your leaders to elevate your team and improve the customer experience in a profitable and sustainable way.  We assess the full operations of your business seeking out inefficiencies.  We then create a unique, focused and intentional plan to elevate your business to thrive in all areas.  We help streamline processes to deliver on your key performance indicators, putting standards and routines in place.  We work with your leaders to minimize waste and build operating procedures, standardizing routines that are sustainable; all customized to your industry, aligned with your brand, mission, values and competitive advantage.

We will ask the right questions to uncover the root cause and barriers to success.  We then create realistic action plans with attainable results. Rather than just deliver our findings and recommendations to you in a report, our consultants actively assist with implementation; while coaching, training, and supporting you and your leaders. Every client has their own mix of brands, locations, and requirements, so we offer tailored solutions.  Our performance improvement recommendations are mindful of your service offerings, culture and target customer.  Changes are carefully developed and implemented alongside your local leaders, in order to create the ownership necessary for continued improvement.  We will support change management and help move your team forward.  We will take you from where you are now, to where you want to be in a sustainable and profitable way!
