The Summer Days Audit finds what's quietly costing you bookings and revenue across every part of the guest experience, then gives you a clear plan to fix it.
Your Audit Snapshot
Low volume, mixed scores, and no clear pattern to act on. If you don't know why guests are leaving a 3-star, you can't fix it.
You know what makes your property special. But if guests can't feel it in your brand, your space, and your team, it's not working hard enough.
Your online presence is the first impression. If it doesn't reflect the real experience, guests book on Booking.com and Expedia instead, which costs you 15 to 20% on every booking.
The experience guests have depends on who's working. Small gaps creep in between arrival and checkout. Without a clear standard, no two stays feel the same.
These problems lead to
This often happens because there is an experience gap between your brand and what guests actually experience.
When it's aligned
When the gap exists
That's where the Summer Days Hospitality Audit comes in.
The Summer Days Audit looks at your property across brand, team, digital, and guest experience, and gives you a prioritised plan for what to fix first.
We audit the four things that drive guest loyalty and revenue at every independent hotel. Not a thousand-point checklist.
What you stand for and how guests actually perceive you. We run workshops to surface your real story, then check whether every touchpoint is telling it or undermining it.
Every moment from discovery to checkout, and the ones after. We walk through your space as a guest would, mapping friction points, magic moments, and the revenue opportunities you're currently missing.
Your team and how they deliver your vision. We interview key staff and observe service in real operations to find the gap between what you imagined and what guests actually experience.
Your website, booking flow, reviews, and online reputation, evaluated after experiencing your property in person, so we can see exactly where the story falls apart before guests even arrive.
We immerse ourselves in your property first, then step back and make sense of everything we found.
We experience your property exactly as a guest would, then sit down with you and your team.
Brand clarity, live service observation, and a revenue walkthrough of your space.
We dig into your digital presence, reviews, and competitive context, then build your roadmap.
30 minutes to understand your property, your goals, and whether we're the right fit.
We arrive as guests, then go deep with your team, walking every touchpoint of the experience.
Off-site, we synthesise reviews, digital presence, brand, and competitive context into a clear picture.
We walk you through every finding and recommendation, live, so nothing gets lost in the report.
You leave with a prioritised roadmap and the clarity to act, and we're with you every step of the way.
Six deliverables. A clear roadmap you can act on from day one.
All findings, insights, and strategic recommendations in a clear Notion hub, built for your property, not a generic template.
A visual before/after flow of your current experience vs. the optimised journey. Every friction point and magic moment mapped.
Clear ratings across all four pillars mapped to each guest journey phase, so you can see exactly where the gaps are.
AI-powered clustering of your Google and Booking.com reviews: patterns, themes, and perception gaps drawn from what guests are actually saying.
Quick wins in the first 30 days, strategic focus areas for the next 3–6 months, ranked by effort and impact, with guidance on what to handle yourself vs. outsource.
Three dedicated sessions to work through the findings and plan your next moves, so you act with clarity, not guesswork.
Guests feel the experience you intended. Strong, consistent reviews are the best word of mouth you'll get.
Less reliance on OTAs. More guests who found you on your own terms.
When everyone knows the standard, the best version of your property becomes the normal one.
Repeat visits are the clearest sign the experience is working. Guests who return also spend more and give you the confidence to charge what you're worth.
Kahn grew up around Australia’s hospitality scene. He trained staff at Apple on culture, onboarding, and service standards, then spent three years running his own specialty coffee shop and bar.
He knows what it feels like to be the one doing everything at once. He also knows what separates the places guests remember from the ones they forget.
Summer Days exists to bridge that gap, with someone who loves this industry as much as you do and the skills to help you get the right guests, better reviews, and more revenue.
