Some hospitality companies only accept function space business if a predetermined profit threshold amount is met for a property event. This mechanism is used to qualify event opportunities at a property based on the event's revenue and profit potential. The Revenue Manager can override the threshold, approving a quote even if it does not meet the threshold or has a negative threshold profit variance. Thresholds are defined by revenue managers for function space by days and day parts. For more information, see Defining Function Space Threshold Pricing. When thresholds are calculated, the following rules are applied:
Example Threshold Calculation with Applied RulesThis example explains the threshold calculation that occurs when three functions take place in the same function space called FSC 1. Table 11 shows the functions and time intervals. To calculate the required threshold for each function, the system determines the number of day parts the function touches. The day part is included even if the function only touches the day part for a few minutes. The system then determines the threshold associated with each of the day parts listed for the function. Table 12 shows how day parts are set up for the property.
Table 13 shows the thresholds that are in effect. The assumption is that function space category (FSC) 1 and 2 have the same threshold amount.
As Table 14 shows, the required threshold calculation occurs using the following method, assuming the turntimes are zero. The following exceptions may be applied when the required threshold is calculated.
