Hospitality IT solutions specialists, Avenue9, is delighted to announce that it has been engaged to advise one of Cornwall’s leading family owned, beach destination hotels – the 69-bedroom Watergate Bay Hotel, overlooking one of the most popular surfing beaches on the county’s North coast at Watergate Bay, near Newquay.
“We are delighted to be working with such an exciting and expanding family-owned hotel business as Watergate Bay,” said Avenue9 Managing Director Kevin Edwards. “Avenue9 will be undertaking a major review of the hotel’s management IT systems to demonstrate their appropriateness for the business, and their potential usage.
“To achieve this, we will be working closely with the hotel’s management team to fully understand Watergate Bay’s aims, objectives and expectations for IT within the overall business strategy. We will examine how each current IT system functions within the hotel – enabling us to identify areas for improvement that also will support expansion of the business.
“We will then draw up a detailed IT strategy document to: identify key IT systems that need upgrading or replacing, align the management objectives, and make recommendations for future actions and investments.”
As an independent organisation, not aligned to any particular product or vendor, Avenue9 is in an ideal position to advise on this process and assist Watergate Bay Hotel in selecting and operating a suite of IT hospitality systems that will work best together – to service the business, maximise its potential, and support its future plans for growth as efficiently and as effectively as possible.
Watergate Bay Hotel joins the ever growing portfolio of Avenue9 clients – that currently includes major brands such as: The Gleneagles Hotel, The Hotel Collection, SACO (The Serviced Apartment Company), Generator Hostels, Redefine BDL Hotels, and Bourne Leisure.
