Hotelier Helpcast
Hotelier Helpcast is a practical hotel management podcast aimed at independent hotel owners who want more bookings, stronger profits and smoother operations. Hosted by hospitality professional Gerry MacPherson, each episode tackles a real question owners face when running and growing their properties. Topics include revenue management, pricing, direct bookings, marketing, guest experience, housekeeping, staff training, maintenance, reviews, technology and AI. The advice is deliberately jargon-free and focused on ideas independent operators can adapt and put to work. New episodes are released weekly.
