What insights are unique to the GM daily digest (vs. Management perspective)?

How Can We Improve This Article?

The GM Daily Digest is designed to be a concise, action-oriented snapshot for General Managers, emphasizing what’s changed, where the risks are, and what needs immediate attention. While many KPIs overlap with the Management Perspective view, the Digest presents them differently — with alerts, comparisons, and prioritization baked in.

Here are the unique or more prominent insights in the GM Daily Digest (compared to Management Perspective):

  • Waterfall GOP impact:

    The Digest highlights where profit is rising or falling by showing both the percentage and currency deviation. This helps you see exactly which components are driving profit changes — something the regular Management Perspective view doesn’t emphasize as clearly.

  • Room Revenue (Occupancy vs. Rate):

    It breaks down revenue motion into whether it’s being driven by occupancy or by rate changes. That clarity isn’t offered side-by-side in the Management Perspective module.

  • Month-End Forecast by KPI:

    In the Digest, you’ll see a summary of whether each key forecast (e.g. GOP, Revenue, Productivity, Food Cost) is trending better or worse relative to the live forecast. The Management Perspective view may show similar data, but not in this streamlined, top-level summary format.

  • Missing Data Flags:

    The Digest will immediately flag missing entries — e.g. if hours, food cost, or revenue inputs are not yet submitted. This ensures you don’t overlook gaps in your data. The traditional Management Perspective view does not call out missing data in the same way.

 

How to use both views together (GM’s morning routine)

Start with the GM Daily Digest

  • Scan for off-pace KPIs

  • Spot large deviations in GOP or room revenue

  • Detect missing data inputs

 

Then use Management Perspective to dig deeper

  • Drill into department-level or KPI-level details

  • Cross-check actuals vs. forecast

  • Identify which teams or departments are driving the issues

 

Take action

  • Flag any missing or delayed data

  • Alert department heads where adjustments are needed

  • Use this as your huddle agenda: “Here’s what’s red today and why”
