Future Inn Owner Workshops
Once you’ve taken a beginning industry workshop and want to explore inn ownership in a practical way, the real fun begins! Understanding the behind the scenes of a working small independent lodging property is essential and we're ready to share the magic!
If this is the case, you may wish to sign up for an in-depth workshop. From planning breakfast to cleaning rooms, our in-depth workshops will let you experience the steps involved to provide a guest experience that will define your lodging property. If you can't travel, our virtual workshop offers solid information at a pace we will set together.
Option 1: Five in Five Virtual Workshop offers a steady pace of online learning over a period of five weeks. Weekly 2-hour sessions are scheduled to tackle each area of focus, with assignments to be completed between each session. All sessions are considered one-on-one learning experiences with the content customized to meet your vision. The start date is scheduled to meet your schedule
Fees: $1500 - A confirmation and invoice with payment instructions will be sent directly to you upon registration.
Option 2: The Hands-on Workshop is a boot camp that occurs over 4 days, limited to a maximum of 2 teams, and occurs at selected small lodging properties where you will stay and work throughout the entire workshop.
Your workshop includes personalized instruction, a workbook, (2) lunches, and (2) dinners included in the workshop fees plus private consultation within one year after the workshop. Foxfield Inn provides breakfast each morning and daytime beverages. Dinner on Friday evening is not included so suggestions will be made and typically all attendees go to dinner together at an area restaurant.
Attendees should check-in at 2 pm as the workshop will begin at 3:00 PM. Please plan to depart after 1:00 PM on the final day.
