Room readiness and an accurate performance report

A fictional hotel has one hundred rooms recorded as available for a particular night. Seventy-five rooms are sold and the room revenue is nine thousand currency units. The manager wants an occupancy, average daily rate and revenue-per-available-room summary. During the afternoon, housekeeping reports that three assigned rooms are not yet ready, and maintenance reports a fault in another assigned room. Reception has not received a reliable completion time for any of these rooms. Several affected guests are expected soon. An employee proposes marking every assigned room as ready so the dashboard looks consistent with the bookings. Another proposes contacting the relevant departments, verifying the actual room status and preparing suitable guest communication and alternatives within the hotel's authority. The manager also wants to know whether a high occupancy number establishes good service quality.

Read the worked answer

Occupancy is 75/100×100=75%. ADR is 9000/75=120 currency units. RevPAR is 9000/100=90, equivalently 120×0.75. The denominators are different. These supplied figures do not prove profit or that the assigned rooms are ready.

2. Recommend the immediate information and coordination response.

Verify readiness and the maintenance fault with the responsible departments, record actual status, identify feasible alternatives and communicate accurately with affected guests. Do not falsify readiness to improve a dashboard. Investigate the handover process and follow up on completed action.
