Overview
Best BAR by Day is a type of Best Available Rate (BAR) you can configure for your property. For the Best BAR by Day, you can set up to 25 rate codes per day and room type for your property. During the rate availability search, OPERA returns four best available rate codes out of the 25 rate codes configured for the stay date and automatically groups all Best BAR rates by room type (displaying the lowest available rate for a room type).
A line in the availability grid shows the available room types and their lowest rates. In the Rate Availability screen, the Best BAR rate appears for each room type, based on the day of arrival. Each room type can have a different rate code.
With this rate type, you can also configure rate codes based on the Best BAR Rate Code's amount, such as for negotiated rates.
Best BAR by Day works well with Yield Management systems as it opens and closes rate codes dynamically, based on price, without the need to manually open or close BAR rate codes.
