Revenue Performance Metrics

Occupancy Rate Essentials

Calculating and Understanding Occupancy Rate

Occupancy rate, calculated as the percentage of occupied rooms out of the total available rooms, is a fundamental metric for measuring a hotel’s ability to attract and accommodate guests.

Average Daily Rate (ADR) Analysis

Pricing Strategy Insights

Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR)

Comprehensive Revenue Measurement
