Question

I've been brooding over this idea for quite some time. A while ago, I was considering getting into the domestic staffing business. At some point, it struck me how hotels have exactly all the resources to essentially be domestic staff providers themselves, especially the bigger ones. Their cleaners could be dispatched to nearby homes to do cleaning. If the hotel has a restaurant, they could also provide meal service or private chef service. Finally, some of those hotels are in prime business locations and would make for excellent day care locations (assuming the hotel can provide a room and hire qualified nannies).
I understand that this is all pretty complex, and nowadays, the tendency is to outsource, which runs pretty much opposite to what I'm suggesting here. Also, I'm aware that this might require a major effort on the part of the hotel. But on the other hand, hospitality is very well known as a low margin business and there is a lot of competition. So, this would be intended as a new revenue source for hotels.
What would I bring to the table? Providing both back-end software for hotels to manage these new tasks as well as a front-end for customers to book the services.

I would say that the answer is NO!. I have friends who actually do the opposite of what you are talking about and they are very successful. Consider instead...start a cleaning service and hire them out to hotels, charge by the room cleaned. That is what my friends are doing and they are making lots of $$.
Don't stop taking massive action.
Best of Luck,
