Abstract: A method for evaluating and forecasting performance at a hospitality facility in a hospitality performance system, including the steps of: (1) transmitting each subject hospitality facility's performance data to a central service of the hospitality performance system using an Internet browser to access a system website, the central service being in communication with each of the hospitality facilities; (2) analyzing performance data submitted by the hospitality facilities using the central service; and (3) storing the performance analyses so that they are retrievable anytime by the system hospitality facilities. The first step preferably includes the following steps: a) using a personal computer and a pre-assigned password to log onto the system website; b) accessing a weekly questionnaire from the system website; c) completing the questionnaire; and d) submitting the completed questionnaire.

Abstract: A steering and control apparatus for steering a waterjet propelled watercraft includes: (a) a joystick apparatus including a movable joystick and a mechanical housing supporting the joystick in the cockpit; (b) an outdrive at a rear of the watercraft including a movable rear nozzle, (c) a trim control push-pull cable operably connecting the joystick apparatus and the nozzle; (d) a left/right push-pull cable operably connecting the joystick apparatus and the nozzle; (e) a throttle trigger portion attached to the joystick apparatus; and (f) a forward/reverse push-pull cable linking the throttle trigger portion and the throttle. The steering and control apparatus preferably also includes: (g) a forward/reverse lever mechanism adjacent the joystick apparatus with a forward/reverse lever; and (h) a forward/reverse push-pull cable operably connecting the forward/reverse mechanism and a mechanism for diverting an outflow from the outdrive nozzle movably attached to the outdrive.
