Pricing Strategies
Navigate to .
With an automated default setup comprised of the pricing data from the PMS and a calendar view to manage longer periods, you can manage offsets linearly as an amount or non-linearly as a percentage, for the room types and the number of guests occupying the room.
For example, you can have a default price differential between a standard room and a deluxe room of $20, but increase the differential on weekends when there is more demand for deluxe rooms. These are linear price differentials.
The differential can also be expressed as a percentage, meaning that you do not need the calendar. You can automate the adjustment for low demand and peak demand periods. These non-linear price differentials.
Price differentials can also be defined for these room types, according to their occupancy levels::
- Single: The price difference to be applied on the price of the reference room type and one guest.
- Double: The price difference to be applied on the price of the reference room type and two guests.
- Triple: The price difference to be applied on the price of the reference room type and three guests.
- Quadruple: The price difference to be applied on the price of the reference room type and four guests.
- Adult: The charge to be applied for an additional adult staying in the room.
- Child: The charge to be applied for an additional child staying in the room.
