ROOMS STATISTICS
It is is a very favourable KPI metric to calculate the total revenue generated per
customer. It is also taking into account double and family occupancy factors.
*Total Revenue = Accommodation + Breakfast + Spa + Bar + Mini Bar +[Any other
extra revenue]
It is a hotel KPI that gives a preview of the total revenue from all departments which
the room can generate. While RevPar only takes account of the revenue generated
by the rooms.
This calculation is preferable for the management board and the accountants to
have a broad and more generic view of the hotel’s potential and its actual
performance. It is also a good benchmarking tool for all inclusive hotels or resorts.
*Total Revenue = Accommodation + Breakfast + Spa + Bar + Mini Bar +[Any other
extra revenue]
RGI compares your hotel's RevPar to the average RevPar in the market. It is used to
determine if a hotel is gaining a fair share of revenue compared to its competition
set.
RGI = 1 The hotel RevPar is equal to the average RevPar of their comp set

RGI < 1 The hotel RevPar is less than the average RevPar of their comp set
REVPASH as a revenue management tool for food and beverage outlets in a hotel
(similar to RevPar for Rooms). This calculation is useful to measure the usage and
revenue of a seat per hour and it allows a better understanding and planning for the
food and beverage manager. Restaurants take reservations but walk-in guests are
commonly expected during opening hours.
It is also used to support restaurants to plan the labour scheduling, food purchasing,
marketing tools and budgeting during the lowest occupancy.
It is a KPI relevant for hotels which rent out its space for conferences and banquets.
The utilization efficiency of the sales department is calculated on the revenue per
available square meter of the banquet space.
KPI includes a set or ratios and formulas that help calculate and indicate the
performance and progress of a hotel accordingly to their plans and actions.
Here are example of series of standard Key Performance Indicators to monitor and
to benchmark performance of different departments in a hotel.
Examples of KPI in Rooms: Average Room Rate, Bedroom Occupancy Rate, Revenue per
Available Room, Cost per Occupied Room, Labour Cost Ratio

The CPOR formula helps calculate the average cost per occupied room in the hotel.
This is another KPI to measure and analyze if the operating cost for each room is
reasonable.
RevPOR, unlike RevPAR, considers revenue per occupied room which gives you a
better understanding of how much profit you make from the guests who
actually stay at your property.
The great thing about pricing by most hotels around the globe is that nothing is set in
stone. That is, there can be flexibility where prices have to sometimes be pitched at
differing levels, according to the various target markets and
distribution channels involved. This pricing approach, known in the Hospitality
Industry as Open Pricing, is an ideal option for hotels operating independently, but it
can also be an adopted method for entire hotel chains and groups!
Opaque Sites are booking channels and OTA websites where the supplier (in this
case the hotel) remains hidden until after the purchase is complete. The customer
sees only the product category (destination, star rating of the hotel) and the price but
not the brand. After paying, the website will reveal the name of the hotel. Usually it
doesn’t accept refunds, changes or cancellations.

This tool helps the hotel to see its position and performance in proportion to the
competitors and the market in general.
A hotel within a competitive set can work out if it’s getting its Fair Market Share
through a simple calculation:
Fair Market Share = Total number of rooms at the hotel / Total number of rooms in the comp
set
LRA is short for Last Room Availability. At the contracted rate, an agent can book
the last room a hotel has available, by right. Some people may be surprised by this,
thinking that a hotel has complete control over room booking decisions at their
premises, at all times. But, because of LRA, this is not necessarily always the case!
Even if a hotel only has one single room available, a room-seeking party with a
contract has a right to buy it; it can't just be left vacant.
