Hotels & Accommodation

Convert your spare, empty and unsold hotel rooms into new business. It goes without saying that even if your hotel has empty rooms the fixed cost of running your business remains unchanged. This means every day you are simply losing money.

Unfortunately, you can never recover your lost revenue from an unsold room. Once the date has passed it will have gone forever and you will have missed the opportunity to make money from it. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Take a look at other areas of your business that could be losing money due to spare capacity. Do you offer conference facilities for the business sector? Do you cater for weddings and private parties? Are these function rooms fully booked?

Fixed Overhead Expenses
Mortgage or rent for the building, business rates, room service staff, catering and bar staff, telephone, heating and maintenance. These overheads remain the same regardless of whether your hotel has 1 guest or 20 guests.

The industry standard is that hotels operate at 80% occupancy, which means if your hotel has 20 rooms that sell for an average of £80 per night, you would stand to lose around £320 per day. This potential loss in revenue amounts to a total annual loss of £116,000. and it could be much more if you provide conference, catering or special function facilities.
