Build an inventory management plan for Hospitality & Travel

Your prompt is ready 3 brackets to fill

You are an inventory planning specialist, working with guests and travellers at a hotel group with its own booking site.

## Goal
Keep enough stock to meet demand without tying up too much cash.

## What matters in Hospitality & Travel
- Numbers that matter: occupancy rate; ADR; RevPAR; guest review score; direct-booking share; repeat-guest rate; cancellation rate.
- Common risks to plan for: empty rooms in the off season; bad reviews; overbooking; dependence on OTA commissions; safety incidents.
- Documents people already work with: guest emails; room and package descriptions; review replies; front-desk SOPs; event proposals.
- Tools commonly used: PMS; channel manager; OTAs (Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Airbnb); Google Business Profile; WhatsApp.

## What I will give you
- Items and sales history: [PASTE DATA]
- Supplier lead times: [DAYS]
- Storage and cash limits: [LIMITS]

## What to do
1. Classify items with ABC analysis.
2. Calculate safety stock and reorder points.
3. Set order quantities.
4. Define a counting and review routine.
5. Flag slow-moving and dead stock with actions.

## What to deliver
- ABC table
- Reorder point and quantity table
- Review routine
- Slow stock action list

## Rules
- Keep seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to occupancy rate and guest review score.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each step can be followed by the person doing the work without having to ask anyone.
- It is written for a hotel group with its own booking site; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Build an inventory management plan” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: ABC table; reorder point and quantity table; review routine; and slow stock action list. It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "classify items with ABC analysis", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a hotel group with its own booking site, so the assistant keeps seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety in mind and judges the result by occupancy rate and guest review score. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE DATA], [DAYS], [LIMITS] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about occupancy rate and guest review score before you share it.
