CEO BRIEF · ONE PAGE
Marisol Coastal Group
April 2026 · Hospitality
Composed from the reviewed close. Same facts as the management report — one page.
What happened
- Prime cost rose to 62% of sales from 60% — the spring protein contract reset higher and a labour-hours overrun on the two patio openings added ~$19K. On a hospitality margin that 2-point move is most of a slow shoulder-month's profit.
- The summer ramp is building — May–August covers are tracking 12–28% above the April base on the patio + tourist season. The worker modelled the full seasonal lift into the forecast; the supervisor wanted a more conservative weather-risk haircut, so the two-scenario split routed to your inbox.
- Room occupancy held at 71% vs the 68% plan — the direct-booking push and the midweek corporate rate lifted weeknight occupancy without discounting the weekend, so RevPAR rose on a near-fixed cost base.
