Complimentary Room Pricing

Sales representatives and sales managers can specify a number of complimentary sleeping rooms for an event. The complimentary number is not factored in when room availability is checked, but the number is relevant when the weighted average sleeping room rate is calculated. Complimentary rooms also are not factored into the calculation of total revenue that appears in the Quote Summary report.

For example, assume a quote has been generated for a group event, and the information appears in the Quotes screen, Room Blocks view. The specified occupancy for the group is single, and the property does not set different rates for weekends and weekdays.

The complimentary numbers of rooms are included in the contracted, projected and blocked numbers. As Table 108 shows, on July 5 there are 100 contracted rooms that include 10 complimentary rooms and 90 rooms that are not complimentary.

The total rooms that are contracted and complimentary for this event is taken into account when revenue is calculated, as Table 109 shows.

Using these figures, the calculations for Total Revenue and Total Rooms Nights are:

• Total Revenue equals 13500 plus 13200 equals 26700
• Total Room Nights equals 100 plus 130 equals 230

Table 110 shows the Average Rate calculation, including Complimentary rooms.

Table 111 shows the Average Rate calculation, excluding Complimentary rooms.

The user can view both the Average Rate and the Average Rate with Complimentary Rooms by navigating to the Quotes screen, Room Blocks Negotiation Rates view.
