Manage Rate Restrictions (Video Transcript)
00:04
In this video you will learn how to manage rate and room restrictions. You
00:10
can use restrictions to control availability based on demand, experience
00:14
or forecasting. For example, during a weekend when demand is high you can
00:20
apply a two-night minimum stay restriction on all or specific rates and
00:24
rooms. Let's get started. Go to inventory and then select manage restrictions. I
00:31
can search for existing rate restrictions or I can create a new
00:35
restriction. In this example I click new to apply a new restriction. Select the
00:42
date range for the restriction. In this example, I select Friday as the start
00:47
date and Sunday as the end date. From the restriction drop-down list
00:56
I select minimum stay through. Then, I click the plus icon to increase the days
01:04
to 2. I can select a specific room class room type or I can select a specific
01:10
rate category or rate code for the restriction. In this example, I select
01:16
house to apply the restriction to all the rooms. I can select the category or
01:21
code magnifying glass to select a specific rate to apply the restriction
01:25
to or if I do not select a specific rate category or rate code the restriction
01:31
applies to all rates. Next click Save. Now, I can see the restriction I just
01:36
created and it applies from Thursday through Sunday.
01:39
I can click the list icon to display the restrictions in a list view
01:45
or I can click the week view icon to see the calendar view of the restrictions
01:51
setup for the week. Next, I click the vertical ellipsis and select change log. I
01:56
can adjust the property and the date and then click search. Now, I see the list of
02:02
changes to restrictions for this property and this specific date.
