HQ plus – the Team behind HQ revenue

100% Hospitality

From hoteliers for hoteliers - we know the industry, its processes, its needs from our own experience - our own roots lie deep in the hotel industry. And are extremely gnarled. So the rest can rock agilely and won't be blown away.

100% Peoples' Business

HQ Plus is a peoples' business. Just as the hospitality industry itself. We know: Every app, every digital technology and all the data science we do is only as great as the benefit we – the humans – can get from it.

100% Independent

HQ plus is completely independent. There are no external investors, no exclusive partnerships. Our business model has been self-sustaining since day 1. That makes us not only proud, but also quite successful.

100% Customizable

Adapt the tool to the workflow. Not the other way.

Smart View

The really relevant information is just one click away.

Parity under control

All channels and their faux pas at a glance.

The future is now

See months in advance how the market will develop.

Understanding demand

At the local or regional level: Who is coming? And when?

Understand competition

And strengthen your own position with real insights.

1998 – 2006

Foundation work

Founder & CEO Roland Hehn accidentally lands in the hotel industry and takes over one hotel each in 1998 and 2006. During this time, the industry undergoes a major transformation: HRS and hotel.de enter the market.

This data, which is now publicly available, should actually be better analyzed for hoteliers: As a hotelier, Roland was always faced with the challenge of knowing what rates competitors were offering in the market, what events were taking place in Berlin, and how to get this information as quickly as possible so he could adjust his rates accordingly.

The idea behind HQ plus was born out of daily practice and implemented in the beverage warehouse. In the beverage warehouse?! Yes, exactly. In the blog Roland and Sven tell the whole story.

GRANT

In times of declining print circulation, digitization, global networking, we decided to make a magazine. A magazine?

Yes, something with a tactile feel, something you can touch.

Isn't that completely ... bonkers?

Nope. In the meantime, GRANT has become an integral part of HQ revenue and hotelcampus - and we haven't even reached the end of the development yet! Hotel and revenue management experts like Ira Vouk, Bianca Spalteholz, Anna Heuer, Svenja Kassner, Ivan Abakumov, Francesc Gonzales or Stephan Kohl write on revenue management topics like positioning, market intelligence, PMS integration, hotel digitalization, brand building and much more. Some highlights find their way to the GRANT Blog. Fancy a printed version? Find it here :)

hotelcampus

Hotelcampus, a new brand of HQ plus, saw the light of day just in time for ITB 2023. Under the umbrella of hotelcampus we bundle education, networking and partnerships: eLearnings and webinars on HQ revenue and all topics around revenue management, events like barcamps and meetups, always together with exciting partners from the HQ revenue environment. Together we demonstrate and discuss integrations, software development, user experience and the digitalization of hospitality. With you. Because even though HQ plus is already damn good on its own - we can only get even better together!
