About this course

At the Operator level, you're sitting in the chair the GM doesn't sit in. You're deciding what gets renovated and when; defending vendor contracts that touch every department; running a quality program with KPIs the franchisor doesn't set; and authoring owner reports that survive a midnight read.

This course covers the capex categories that an owner actually tracks (CFM, PIP, replacement reserve); the three-year rolling plan that survives a property sale; the quality program design that ties to bonus without gaming; and the four-page monthly owner report template that has worked across nine ownership groups.

Intended for ops directors, GMs of 200+ key properties, and operators stepping into multi-property roles.
