Group Recommendation

For our expert users we have launched a new functionality. The new group recommendation tool will help you calculate the right price for your groups. It uses different data such as number of rooms, additional F&B revenue, meeting rooms revenue and other potential revenue to calculate a room price, based on your hotel’s availability.

Start by filling in a group name, the arrival and departure date, and the expected revenue that the group will bring to your hotel. You can also select the business segment from your PMS.
  

 

In the next you will see if the group can be housed with the rooms available on the entered date. If the group recommendation is green and “OK”, there are enough rooms available. If not enough rooms are available, it is shown in red and “Not OK”.

The breakdown per day shows if there are any events planned on the entered date, the current business on the books, forecasted room nights, and the current published rate. This information can be consulted to see how the recommended price is calculated.


  The data can easily be exported to an excel file by using the green export button.
