👤 Client: Rick Morse, Chief Engineer
🏨 Location: Residence Inn, Eagle, Idaho
🛠️ Stage: New Build / Pre-Opening Phase

🏁 The Challenge

Launching a new hotel is no small feat—especially when it comes to managing assets, mechanical systems, and construction punch lists. For Rick Morse, Chief Engineer at the soon-to-open Residence Inn in Eagle, Idaho, the task was clear: set up efficient processes from Day One.

But how do you create a future-ready operational system before guests ever arrive?

💡 The Solution: OpsTechPro’s Pre-Revenue Support Model

That’s where OpsTechPro stepped in. During a recent conversation with Rick, the OpsTechPro team made an important offer:

“You can use the system at no cost until your construction is complete and the first guest checks in,”
OpsTechPro Team

This strategic move allowed Rick to:

  • ✅ Begin inventorying mechanical systems

  • ✅ Organize all assets for preventive maintenance (PM)

  • ✅ Document punch lists and vendor contacts

  • ✅ Train staff before launch—without spending a dime until revenue begins
