Your tasks in PMI

Tasks and responsibilities within each role may vary depending on your property, but the main tasks a bar or pub manager is usually required to do in PMI are the following:

Optimal staff scheduling

Ensuring staff are scheduled in line with the expected activity at the hotel reduces the risk of over- or under-staffing, leading to a more effective workforce.

1. Plan (Monthly): Confirm the labor forecast for your department. This is done by setting a monthly productivity or hours forecast in PMI.
2. Do (Daily): Adjust staff schedules to be in line with the Smart Forecast. Actual schedules may be created in a timekeeping system or directly in PMI, depending on the chain setup.
3. Monitor (Daily): Use the labor cockpit to compare scheduled hours to forecasted hours for the month and adjust schedules as needed.
4. Evaluate & Learn (Monthly): Review last month’s results against the forecast and identify any discrepancies. Consider adjustments for future productivity improvements.
5. Adjust (Ongoing): Implement actions identified in previous steps.

Realistic revenue forecasting

Revenue forecasts impact all areas of resource management at a hotel. PMI provides an automated daily forecast to help maintain realistic projections with minimal effort.

1. Plan (Monthly): Confirm the monthly restaurant and/or M&E revenue forecast for the next three months.
2. Do (Bi-Weekly): Review Live forecast for the current and upcoming month, making manual edits if necessary.
3. Monitor (Bi-Weekly): Compare Live forecast to Forecast – are you on track to meet the monthly target?
4. Evaluate & Learn (Monthly): Review last month’s results against the forecast and identify any discrepancies. Consider adjustments to improve future forecast accuracy.
5. Adjust (Ongoing): Implement identified actions.
