Interview with Rodolfo Schierloh, Managing Director of Sonnenhof Lautenbach

Please introduce yourself briefly and tell us what makes your hotel or hosting role special.
With my 30 years of international professional experience, I try to do the best for our guests and employees in our idyllic Black Forest hotel. Our hotel has 48 rooms, a large wellness area and two restaurants.

Did you or how did you do revenue management before you switched to happyhotel?
I took over the hotel 3 years ago and redesigned our rate structure, and happyhotel was perfect for this.

What were the decision criteria for happyhotel?
With the help of the free version, I was quickly able to get an impression of happyhotel. Ultimately, I was won over by its uncomplicated and very clear use.

Have you already made a recognizable additional turnover and if so, by what percentage have you been able to increase your turnover through happyhotel?
Yes, since the introduction of happyhotel, turnover has increased by 15 %. But what is even more important: every additional euro we generate through happyhotel means 90% profit for us.

What is the best thing about happyhotel?
It’s young and dynamic team that is just as dependent on growth as our hotel

What do you wish for the future of happyhotel?
I look forward to continuing our good cooperation as well as continuous development and improvement.
