Use this yield profile to create a rate adjustment by Occupancy ONLY.

This means that a rate adjustment will be triggered by ONLY an Occupancy event. Decide As described elsewhere, decide if your will occupancy events as a way to trigger a rule,? If you do, will occupancy be based on the entire Site occupancy (ie all Rooms added together and then occupancy/vacancy analyzed by the entire inventory of the Site); else by Room Type occupancy which would apply the occupancy only to the Room Types allocated as detailed below. In a Room type Type Occupancy setting, for example, if you had 5 KING rooms and had an Occupancy rule based on 20% occupancy, then the system will only enforce that Yield Rule when 2 Kings were booked and would ignore any other Room Types when invoking the Yield Rule.  This is a key difference and a property can be setup as one or the other, not a mix of both.

For example, raise rates by 10% if occupancy is above 80% and lower rates by 10% if occupancy is below 50%. These yielded tiers can also be set to flat dollar amounts. For example, raise rates by $15 if occupancy is above 80% and lower rates by $10 if occupancy is below 50%.

Occupancy setting: Set occupancy "below" AND "above" a percentage occupancy amount to trigger the rate change. I.e. Below 50%

In this scenario, we want to adjust the rate by -10% if Occupancy is below 70%.

Example of an Occupancy Only set of Rule:

If one setup these rules for occupancy changes:

    • 81% to 90% (Below 90%)               Occupancy Only                -7            Percentage
    • 71% to 80% (Below 80%)               Occupancy Only                -10         Percentage
    • 61% to 70% (Below 70%)               Occupancy Only                -15         Percentage
    • 51% to 60% (Below 60%)               Occupancy Only                -20         Percentage
    • 41% to 50% (Below 50%)               Occupancy Only                -20         Percentage
    • 31% to 40% (Below 40%)               Occupancy Only                -30         Percentage
    • 21% to 30% (Below 30%)               Occupancy Only                -30         Percentage
    • 11% to 20% (Below 20%)               Occupancy Only                -30         Percentage
    • 0% to 10%  (Below 10%)                Occupancy Only                -40         Percentage

Using an example of a QUEEN Room Type with a $100 Base Rate, with 10 QUEEN rooms, one can easily look at the occupancy levels and how Rates would be affected.  In this case, if testing for Aug 1st a series of bookings that affects the occupancy would create the following rates:

    • Aug 1 = 10% - Rate: $60
    • Aug 2 = 20% - Rate: $70
    • Aug 3 = 30% - Rate: $70
    • Aug 4 = 40% - Rate: $70
    • Aug 5 = 50% - Rate: $80
    • Aug 6 = 60% - Rate: $80
    • Aug 7 = 70% - Rate: $85
    • Aug 8 = 80% - Rate: $90
    • Aug 9 = 90% - Rate: $93
    • Aug 10 = 100% - Rate: $100
