Hotel Management in the UAE and Uzbekistan: Lessons from Two Worlds and the Advantages of the KPI.com Platform
Hello,
My name is Ibrohim, and I have over 15 years of experience in the hospitality and service industry. During this time, I’ve had the opportunity to study hotel management systems closely in both the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Uzbekistan, allowing me to compare the two different management approaches.
Experience in the UAE
I spent the first 8 years of my career working in 5-star hotels in the UAE. The operations there were strictly systematized and protocol-driven. Most processes were automated, and financial control was conducted in real time. Each employee had a clearly defined role, and work efficiency was regularly measured using KPIs. Decisions were always data-driven, which helped maintain a high standard of service quality.
The Situation in Uzbekistan
In recent years, I returned to Uzbekistan and began working as a project manager across a network of hotels in three different regions. Here, systems are not yet fully established. Many processes rely heavily on personal experience, financial oversight is often delayed and unclear, and employee roles are not well-defined. Motivation systems are weak. Therefore, there is a pressing need to introduce new solutions to improve service quality and management efficiency.
Lessons Learned from the Comparison
System and Structure:
In the UAE, every operation follows strict protocols and automation. In Uzbekistan, many procedures depend on human experience.
Employee Management:
In the UAE, there is an active KPI and performance evaluation system, encouraging professional development. In Uzbekistan, employees are often required to multitask with unclear roles.
Financial Control:
In the UAE, reports are updated in real-time. In Uzbekistan, financial reporting tends to be delayed or overly general.
My Experience with KPI.com Platform
To enhance management efficiency in our hotels in Uzbekistan, I started by searching for a reliable and user-friendly management system. Upon a friend’s recommendation, I explored KPI.com. I was impressed by its simple interface, multifunctionality, and features tailored to the hospitality industry.
