About
Brandt & Vale is a two-partner labor practice. They rebuild the weekly roster from demand, not habit, and they will say when a hotel is simply under-wage for its market. They do not run a staffing agency — they design the system the agency or in-house team has to run.

Evidence

- · Wage recommendations are market-cited, not vibes.
Tradeoffs they name
- · A pretty roster does not hire people — they will name the wage gap.
- · Not a temp desk.
Jobs they appear on
Staff the night audit without burning out the GM
When I am still the 2 a.m. backup, I want a coverage and close system so the hotel can finish the day without me living in the lobby.

How & who brief
VerifiedSee overtime before the weekend forecast spikes
When OT shows up as a Monday surprise, I want a forecast tied to occupancy so I can staff Thursday — not apologize on Tuesday.

How & who brief
AdvicePlan a PIP without lying to the P&L
When a sale, a flag, or a tired product forces renovation, I want a scope, a calendar, and a displacement number — not a mood board.
Scope 4–8 weeks; the work is a season · 4 who · 1 case
How & who brief
VerifiedDecide flag, soft brand, or independent before you price it
When affiliation is the argument, I want a cash-flow comparison — fees, PIP, mix, buyer set — not a logo debate.

VerifiedRead the ground lease and the management agreement
When the CIM mentions a lease or an operator in a footnote, I want those contracts treated as the deal — because they are.

VerifiedPeer cases
The GM left the 2 a.m. rotation
The Wick & Elm · 94 keys · Portland, OR
- Claim.
- The GM left the 2 a.m. rotation without a theater 24-hour desk.
- Evidence.
- Closer roster, close-time stamps, GM backup log.
- Caveat.
- The wage still had to be paid. Coverage is not free.

VerifiedThursday saw the weekend first
Eastbound · 178 keys · Kansas City, MO
- Claim.
- OT visible before the weekend.
- Evidence.
- Thursday notes vs payroll for six weeks.
- Caveat.
- The wage gap still had to be paid. The forecast did not hire.

VerifiedThe PIP stopped closing two floors in July
Harborview Select · 136 keys · Annapolis, MD
- Claim.
- A room-by-room PIP phased into shoulder months so peak-season keys stayed sellable.
- Evidence.
- Signed brand PIP rider, GC floor-release schedule, and PMS out-of-order log across two shoulder blocks.
- Caveat.
- A 136-key select-service box. Riser or elevator modernization still requires multi-week vertical stacks.

VerifiedNet room contribution beat the headline royalty pitch
Alder House Hotel · 98 keys · Charleston, SC
- Claim.
- A 10-year net contribution comparison across flag, soft-brand, and independent paths including full FDD fee stack and entry PIP.
- Evidence.
- Executed franchise addendum, FDD item-6/item-7 fee worksheet, and IC underwriting memo.
- Caveat.
- A 98-key leisure-heavy urban boutique; highway select-service houses rely more heavily on brand loyalty distribution.

VerifiedDebt sized on stressed DSCR survived the rate cap quote
Monarch Park Inn · 124 keys · Raleigh, NC
- Claim.
- Acquisition financing sized on stressed T12 DSCR and debt yield rather than broker pro-forma LTV.
- Evidence.
- Executed loan agreement, rate-cap confirmation, and three-lender covenant comparison matrix.
- Caveat.
- A 124-key cash-flowing select-service acquisition; heavy transitional turnarounds require bridge-to-stabilization covenants.

VerifiedThe ground-lease reset and operator subordination were priced before LOI
Marina Wharf Hotel · 172 keys · San Diego, CA
- Claim.
- Pre-LOI abstraction of ground-lease rent resets, remaining term, and management termination rights.
- Evidence.
- Leasehold abstraction memo, lender mortgageability checklist, and signed LOI rider.
- Caveat.
- Commercial underwriting abstraction only — hospitality real-estate counsel still drafts and opines on the estoppel and SNDA.
