Every entrepreneur who is good at business will realize that income generation and cost reduction are two wings of an enterprise's take-off and are indispensable. Hotel is an industry with large investment and high cost. At the same time, we should make great efforts to save and reduce costs. First, strive to reduce the cost of materials.

Second, strive to reduce energy costs. With the rising of energy price, hotels with high energy consumption must do a good job in energy saving. Hotel managers should increase the intensity of science and technology open source, adopt air conditioning waste heat technology transformation, solar energy and heat pump to reduce the consumption of electricity and oil; Attention should be paid to improving the energy-saving effect of facilities and equipment, replacing old boilers with energy-saving boilers and water heaters, selecting energy-saving lighting equipment, using IC card locks, and automatically cutting off the power supply when guests leave the room to get cards; To use and operate facilities and equipment scientifically, it is best for the hotel's air conditioning host to be 2? 3 sets, and according to the temperature difference increase or decrease the number of boot, air conditioning time is long in summer, there is a certain temperature difference at night, 4? At 5 o'clock, the machine can stop normally. Third, strive to reduce input costs. The use of various supporting projects and facilities and equipment in the hotel has a periodic rate, which needs to be updated and rebuilt in a certain period of time. This continuous investment is an important feature of the hotel industry. Hotel managers must control the scale of investment, and hotel investment must be planned according to priorities and capabilities. Excessive investment will increase the debt burden of hotels, increase cost accumulation and reduce profit formation; We should adhere to the principle that the output is greater than the input, carry forward the spirit of "calculate before doing" in Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., carefully calculate the output of each input, and resolutely do not do it if the output is less than the input; We must resolutely implement the unified provisions of the group project, and the decoration engineering company of the group shall be responsible for the projects of the hotels in the group, and adhere to the principle of bidding and team selection. Decoration engineering companies and project construction units should organize bidding and select teams. In principle, no less than three construction teams will bid for each project, and the team with the best qualification, price and quality will be selected to be responsible for the construction. Fourth, strive to reduce financial costs. Financial expenses are an important part of hotel operating costs, and reducing financial expenses is an important issue that should be paid attention to in hotel operation. Hotel managers should raise, dispatch and use funds scientifically and reasonably, without hoarding or losing, and use good steel on the cutting edge; It is necessary to strictly control the borrowing of funds, the use of major funds and the use of funds beyond the scope of business should be reported to the group for approval, and the allocation of funds between enterprises within the group should also be handled according to economic laws; In order to speed up the pace of debt repayment, debt management is a common situation in the hotel industry. Hotels with debts or large debts in the group must, on the basis of doing everything possible to increase their income, speed up debt repayment as much as possible, gradually reduce interest expenses, and let enterprises move forward lightly. Fifth, strive to reduce the cost of human resources. Labor-intensive, high wages and welfare expenditure are the remarkable characteristics of the hotel industry. According to the hotel scale, business needs and the characteristics of modern hotel management, hotel managers should formulate posts and staffing that are in line with the actual situation of the enterprise, so as to ensure that there are no idle posts and people; It is necessary to use manpower scientifically and reasonably, recruit and use employees according to business needs, pay attention to making good use of "seasonal workers", expand the number of employees during the fair, and dismiss them in time after the fair. On-the-job personnel should work hard to prevent uneven happiness. It is necessary to establish a scientific and reasonable distribution system, and take the forms of post salary, benefit salary, piece-rate salary and bonus commission salary according to the characteristics of different posts, so that wages can truly become a powerful lever to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees. Sixth, strive to reduce administrative costs. Management expenses include office expenses, reception expenses, transportation expenses, travel expenses, etc. How to control these expenses is very important to reduce the operating costs of hotels.
