CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT FOR HOSPITALITY
Built for hospitality.
Identify inefficiencies. Optimise workflows. Improve productivity.
Many hospitality operations are losing time, labour and margin through processes that no longer support how the business actually works.
Agility Hospitality helps hotels, hotel groups and operators understand where performance is being lost, why it is happening, and what to do about it.
We combine operational experience, observation-led analysis, data-led analytics and practical improvement tools to help teams improve performance in a way that lasts.
Trusted by hospitality leaders
We work with independent hotels, international brands, multi-site groups and hospitality organisations to improve operational performance at property, group and portfolio level.
Our approach is shaped by real hotel operations, real teams and real constraints.
Real performance challenges are experienced at the point of execution, where teams serve guests, manage demand, make decisions and respond to pressure in real time.
Agility Hospitality helps create a bottom-up, leader-led culture of improvement, so better ways of working are understood, owned and sustained by the people closest to the operation.
That is how improvements actually last.
Most teams are not underperforming because of effort.
They are constrained by how work flows.
Behind every hotel operation are hundreds of daily tasks, decisions, handovers and routines. When those workflows are unclear, inconsistent or disconnected from demand, performance suffers.
The impact is felt directly by team members: unnecessary pressure, rushed service, unclear priorities, avoidable rework and labour schedules that do not reflect the real volume of work.
For guests, this can show up as inconsistency. For managers, it shows up as firefighting. For owners and operators, it shows up as lost productivity, reduced margin and weaker operational control.
Agility Hospitality helps teams separate being busy from being productive. We identify where time is being lost, where work can flow better, and where labour can be aligned more effectively to demand.
- When workflows, labour planning and leadership behaviours are aligned, hotels can create:
- Improved labour productivity
- Reduced non-value-adding activity
- More consistent service delivery
- Stronger operational control
- Better team engagement
In every operation, the opportunity is already there. The challenge is knowing where to look and how to act on it.
How we improve operational performance
Agility Hospitality focuses on three connected areas that drive operational performance across hospitality businesses.
Each one can stand alone. Together, they create a practical system for identifying opportunity, improving performance and building the capability to sustain change.
Training and Education
Build the capability to sustain improvement from within.
Through practical, hospitality-focused training, we equip leaders and teams with the tools to identify issues, solve problems and improve performance in their own operation.
Training is designed for real-world application, not theory.
Workflow Analysis
Discover where time, labour and margin are being lost.
Using on-site observation and data-led analysis, we identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, duplicated work, delays and misalignment between workload and labour deployment.
The result is a clear, prioritised view of where to focus improvement.
Labour Optimisation
Align business demand with labour resources to improve productivity and performance.
We help hospitality businesses improve forecasting, scheduling and labour deployment by connecting labour to the real drivers of operational demand, your guests, not your revenue.
This is not cost cutting. It is about having the right people, in the right place, at the right time, while protecting service quality and team engagement.
Simple. Structured. Effective.
We don’t overwhelm teams with theory.
We focus on what matters:
- Understand where the opportunity is
- Understand why it exists
- Define what good looks like
- Implement practical improvements
- Build capability to sustain it
Our role is to help clients move from insight to implementation, with clear priorities, practical tools and a rhythm for measuring progress.

Built from inside the hospitality profession
Agility Hospitality was founded by Tom Mc Dermott in 2020. He brings more than 35 years of senior leadership experience across international hotel operations and hospitality businesses.
Tom has worked across global hospitality brands including Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Cunard & Seabourn Cruise Line, Radisson and Hilton Hotels, and has seen first-hand why many improvement initiatives fail to stick.
The issue is rarely a lack of effort. More often, it is a lack of practical systems, clear ownership and operational routines that teams can actually use.
Agility Hospitality was built on a simple belief:
Hospitality businesses do not need more theory. They need practical solutions that actually work in day-to-day operations.
Today, Agility Hospitality works with hotel groups, owners and operators to improve performance, build internal capability and embed lasting change.
With Agility Hospitality, improvement becomes practical.
With Agility Hospitality, you can identify inefficiencies, optimise workflows and drive productivity in a way that is practical, structured and sustainable.
