The season’s almost over. Now the real work starts.
Peak season is winding down, leaving a mountain of data that most operators will ignore until next spring. This window is your best chance to fix the budget lines that leaked margin and the KPIs that didn’t deliver. Join Guesty, Michael Lester (CFO of Casiola), and Kenny Hayslett (Co-Founder of Beach Time Rentals) for a fireside chat on reading the season honestly.

What to Expect
In this fireside chat, we’ll walk through what a realistic 2027 budget looks like when it’s built from this year’s actual performance instead of last year’s assumptions. You’ll learn how two of the industry’s top operators identify which staffing and pricing calls to make now while the data is still fresh, and which metrics are worth tracking versus which ones just look good on a dashboard.
We’ll cover:
- Turning peak performance data into a realistic 2027 budget
- Identifying the budget lines that quietly ate margin this year
- Knowing when to lock pricing and staffing decisions for next year
- Setting 2027 targets your team can actually hit
