Rate Recommendations You Approve
A rate recommendation engine that scores each night hourly on pickup and occupancy, explains its suggested price and waits for your approval.
You get a suggested price for every room type, every night, every hour, with the reasons written out. Nothing changes until someone on your team approves it.
Why it matters
Tariffs, seasons, derived rates, restrictions and a channel push were all there, but nothing was reading the books and asking what tonight should cost. A rate typed months ago would still be selling, whether you were full or empty.
What the engine looks at
- Occupancy for the room type compared with what you usually hold this far ahead. It uses your own booking curve once you have a month of history, a standard curve before that, and the confidence score shows which one it used.
- Rooms picked up over the past seven days.
- Whether your last rooms are selling.
- Nights coming up soon that are still empty.
- Events you enter, such as a wedding week or a festival, as an uplift.
- Distance to the night: far-off nights move less.
What you see
A proposed price, a confidence score from 10 to 90, and plain-English reasons, for example: Deluxe is 78% booked 21 days out; normally 50%.
- Approve writes the price to every plan of that room type and every type derived from it, and queues a channel push straight away.
- Approve at a different price, noting why.
- Reject, picking a reason from your list; that night then gets no new suggestion for seven days.
Guardrails you set
- A floor and a ceiling per room type.
- The biggest change allowed in one step.
- Rounding, and the smallest change worth suggesting.
- No suggestions on locked nights.
Each proposal starts from your own tariff, never from its last suggestion, so approvals do not pile up. Change your tariff and the engine starts again from the new figure.
Good to know
The engine is off until you switch it on for your hotel, and it only recommends. Fully automatic publishing is not part of this release; the history it would need begins building the day you turn it on.
