Your prompt is ready 2 brackets to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Hospitality & Travel sector from the inside.

## Your task
Plan a 60-minute retrospective for a project team at a hotel group with its own booking site. Give the opening, a format suited to [TEAM MOOD], questions for each section, how to turn findings into at most three actions, and a closing. Then group these raw notes into themes: [PASTE NOTES]

## About my situation
- Who this is for: guests and travellers
- What we must respect: seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety
- How we measure success: occupancy rate and guest review score

## What matters in Hospitality & Travel
- People involved: front office; revenue manager; housekeeping; food and beverage; guests; OTAs and travel agents; sales and events team.
- 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.
- Timing and seasons: peak and off seasons; long weekends and holidays; wedding season; local events and festivals.

## How to work through it
1. Plan an opening that makes people comfortable speaking up.
2. Choose a format suited to the team's mood.
3. Write questions for each section.
4. Group my notes into themes.
5. Turn themes into at most three actions with owners.

## What to deliver
- 60-minute plan
- Themes from the notes
- Action list

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. 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:
- Every task, risk and action has an owner role and a date or trigger.
- It is written for a hotel group with its own booking site; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why use this Retrospective facilitation prompt?

This retrospective facilitation prompt is written for a hotel group with its own booking site. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (guests and travellers) and the limits it must respect: seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Hospitality & Travel team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Hospitality & Travel, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: occupancy rate and guest review score.

How to get the best answer

Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than 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.
