be developed with 2,300-units, 7 restaurants and 4 golf
courses. Previously,
Orange Lake relied only on the gut instinct of managers to
staff while struggling with complex demand patterns ranging
from
3,000 to 11,000 guests on property at any given moment. In
2008,
the resort implemented the Carnus Forecaster™ & AI

1,000 luxury rooms, a 28,000 square foot ballroom, and 110,000 square
feet of meeting space, the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville is one of the
largest hotels on the US Eastern coast. Approximately
111,000 people dine in the hotel’s Trellises Restaurant, with
an
additional 44,000 using room service. Exceeded in-house
F&B forecasting accuracy in every department while cutting
scheduling time from 5 hours down to 2 minutes per week.
Exceeded in-house room service forecasts by 36% and
consistently had an average restaurant dinner error of less than 1
server per day. As a
property
that hosts a large convention center, the Hyatt Regency was challenged
by large swings in F&B demand caused by convention attendance
and
other city events. Schedule development took many hours of management
time each week and often yielded lackluster results that
generated unnecessary
high labor expense. By purchasing the Carnus Forecaster, the
Hyatt
Regency was able to save valuable management time and drastically
improve forecasting accuracy. Pan
Pacific Hotel, San Francisco, CA 7-Day Forecasts of
Total Restaurant & Room Service Covers yielded accuracies

approximately 4% of total Food and Beverage payroll expense. The Pan

consequentially high and unnecessary labor costs. By
implementing the
Carnus Forecaster, the hotel was finally able to accurately forecast
demand, staff correctly, and lower costs.
