Best Practices

Set up Supplements Only Where Needed

You are not required to set up supplements for all room types. For any room type, occupancy type or day of week that does not include supplements, keep the default supplement value as 0.00. You also have the option of adding in a supplement cost just for a specific season.

The price for rooms only, without the added cost of supplements, displays as Rooms Only BAR in Pricing.

Include Taxes

If you are in a country with Tax-Inclusive Pricing Tax-inclusive pricing applies in countries where quoted and booked prices have to include taxes like a Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST). If you are not in a country with tax-inclusive pricing, taxes are added to pricing only at the point of payment. In G3 RMS, tax-inclusive pricing is enabled and configured in Property Specific Configuration., enter Supplements inclusive of tax. This applies to all pricing setup values. View Entering and Display of Taxes in G3 RMS for more information. The tax for Supplements is only broken out by your PMS, but not by G3 RMS.

Include Supplements in Pricing Values

When you set up Ceiling/Floor, enter the values inclusive of the single occupancy supplement. You also enter Specific pricing overrides as the final price, including the cost of the single occupancy supplement. G3 RMS sends your price override to your Selling System Any distribution system, like a PMS, CRS or a Channel Manager, that is used to sell your transient guest room inventory. Ideally, G3 RMS sends all controls to your selling systems, but this may vary based on their capabilities. For some integrations, the selling systems may not include the reservation system that provides with data..

Exclude Supplements from Offsets and Minimum Price Differentials

Exclude the cost of supplements when you enter Offsets. Also exclude supplements if you need to set up Minimum Price Differentials.

Know the Impact of Changing Supplement Values

If you change the supplement values, G3 RMS ignores the Minimum Change Value and updates and sends any pricing decisions that changed as a result of the new pricing setup .

Scenarios for Pricing Calculations

Supplements are set up for each room type, occupancy type, and day of week. To determine the pricing decision, G3 RMS adds supplement and Offset values to the Optimal Price. Unlike offsets, supplement values for each occupancy type are added individually, not cumulative on top of the single occupancy value. Rounding the pricing decision also applies if you set up Rounding Rules.

See the Pricing Overview for details on how G3 RMS calculates Final Price, considering rounding rules, offsets, supplements, and minimum change.

In the example below, the hotel charges the same price for single and double occupancy for all room types. They also add a charge for each extra adult and an extra breakfast charge per adult, but a child breakfast is free. For simplicity, extra child does not display in the example below, but it works the same as extra adult.

Room Type	Optimal Price	Occupancy Type	Offsets	Supplement	Price before Rounding
STKG	199	Single	Not applicable	10	199 + 10 Single Supplement = 209 If you use Percent instead of Fixed Supplement Method: 199 + 19.9 (10% of Optimal Price) = 218.9
		Double	0	20	199 + 0 Double Offset + 20 Double Supplement = 219
		Extra Adult	30	10	30 Extra Adult Price + 10 Extra Adult Supplement = 40 The selling system calculates the price for a room by adding this value for each additional adult.
STDD (priced 20 above STKG)	Not applicable	Single	20	10	199 + 20 Single Offset + 10 Single Supplement = 229
		Double	0	20	199 + 20 Single Offset + 0 Double Offset + 20 Double Supplement = 239
		Extra Adult	30	10	30 Extra Adult Price + 10 Extra Adult Supplement = 40. G3 RMS sends the extra adult value to the selling systems, and they calculate the rate for triple, quadruple, etc. occupancy.
