Analyzing a lodging operations ideal position and potential for success has been written about and postulated by some of the best marketing minds in the business over the last 75 years. What has not changed is the way a lodging operation has to position itself vis-a-vis its product, market and competition and the way in which it can stay in business during a buyers or sellers market.

One of the best customer loyalty programs in the country was started in Florida back in 1985 with founder Paul Emmett leading the charge. Here is the history of that restaurant chain from its corporate website: “The original “Duffy’s Drafthouse.” was founded by two childhood friends turned business partners in Lake Park, Florida in 1985. In addition to plenty of beer choices, Duffy’s had only 4 items on the menu: Grilled Mahi Sandwich, Hot Ham and Cheese, Smoked Sausage and ½ lb. Cheeseburger.

It is common knowledge that in order for a lodging operation to be successful, market conditions that contribute to that success must be in place well before the operation opens its doors. While these conditions may be primary to the operation's success, there are secondary economic factors that should also be present before the property is operational.

The concept of double-entry accounting has been around for over five centuries. In 1494 an Italian monk named Luca Pacioli who was also an accomplished mathematician devised a process for keeping buying and selling among fifth century merchants equitable who did business with each other. He wrote a book on mathematics which included the double-entry postulation section which has provided the basis for all modern-day businesses who run their financial affairs.

In Ireland, Government policy supports economic growth and direct inward investment. This requires adequate electricity supply. Typically, this means that electricity producers and consumers can obtain a connection to the electricity grid. It is also possible for cables to be laid directly between producers and consumers and this is not unusual in many jurisdictions.

The Terms and Conditions and Timetable for RESS 3 are now available, with the qualification process opening on 30 May 2023. As suggested in the consultation, RESS 3 will provide for an Unrealised Available Energy Compensation (“UAEC”) with the intent of minimising the extent to which regulatory risk is factored into RESS auction bid prices. Compensation for constraints, however, is not included in the UAEC and DECC states that this is because constraints remain an important locational signal.
