Rooms

Data Description
Recommended Rate

The optimal guest room rate, considering both maximizing profits and the probability of the group accepting a specific rate. If you Adjust the Evaluation Results, the system's recommended rate and your changed rate display.

Gross Revenue

The guest room revenue that G3 RMS expects you to gain for the selected stay dates, before deducting revenue loss due to complimentary rooms, discounted rooms, other concessions and commissions. This value equals the number of total rooms multiplied by the Recommended Rate.

Total Cost

The total cost of concessions, commissions, rebates, complimentary or discounted rooms that you are offering to the group, as entered in the Costs tab of the evaluation. For Room Class evaluations, G3 RMS completes the following calculations:

  • Commissions: G3 RMS applies the specified commission percentage to the rate returned for each room type.
  • Complimentary: G3 RMS calculates the percentage cost as the weighted average of the rates for all specified room types.
  • Discounted: G3 RMS calculates the percentage cost as the weighted average of the rates for all specified room types.
  • Rebates: G3 RMS applies the specified rebate percentage to the rate returned for each specified room type.
Net Revenue The Gross Revenue minus the Total Cost.
Gross Profit The guest room profit that G3 RMS expects you to achieve by accepting the group, before considering displaced business. The system subtracts Concessions, Commission, and the configured Per Room Servicing Cost from this value.
Displaced Revenue The room revenue that G3 RMS expects the group to displace, based on the group information and the current forecast.
Displaced Profit

The room profit that accepting the group will displace, based on Displaced Revenue and the Per Room Servicing Cost that you set up.

Cost of Walk

The number of rooms that exceed the Rooms to SellClosed Physical Capacity plus Overbooking minus On Books and minus Out of Order. This value is the number of rooms that G3 RMS can sell before the property or room type is sold out., followed by the cost of walking guests for those rooms.

If a group exceeds the Rooms to Sell, some guests might need to be relocated, or walked, in order to accommodate the group. Therefore, G3 RMS calculates this cost (using the Cost of Walk setup) and considers it in the calculation of profit and recommended rate.

Note that for evaluations by Room Class, the Rooms to Sell applies only to the selected room types (not to property level as for Run-of-House). That means your group rooms might exceed Rooms to Sell, but no forecasted Cost of Walk exists. In this case, other room types in the same Room Class or room types in another Room Class that is on the Upgrade Path have enough available capacity to accept the excess group rooms.

Net Profit The Gross Profit minus the Displaced Profit and Cost of Walk.
Net Profit % The Net Profit divided by the Gross Revenue.

Ancillary

Data Description
Gross Revenue The revenue gained from the Ancillary Revenue Streams for the selected stay dates.
Net Revenue The same value as the Gross Revenue, as there are no discounts or commissions that apply to Ancillary Revenue Streams.
Gross Profit The gross profit from Ancillary Revenue Streams that the property will make by accepting the group, before considering displaced business but after considering the Profit % that is set up for the revenue stream.
Displaced Revenue The Ancillary Revenue Stream revenue that accepting the group will displace at a property level. If you have not set up Ancillary Assignments by Season, this value is zero.
Displaced Profit The Ancillary Revenue Stream profit that accepting the group will displace on this arrival date, based on Displaced Revenue and the Profit % set up for Ancillary Revenue Streams.
Net Profit The Gross Profit minus the Displaced Profit.
Net Profit % The Net Profit divided by the Gross Revenue.

Conference & Banquet

Data Description
Gross Revenue The Conference and Banquet revenue gained for the selected stay dates before deducting revenue loss due to commissions.
Total Cost The Conference and Banquet commissions that deduct from revenue, as set up in the Conference & Banquet tab of the evaluation.
Net Revenue The Gross Revenue minus the Commission for Conference and Banquet on this arrival date.
Gross Profit The gross Conference and Banquet profit that will be made by accepting the group for this arrival date, considering the Profit % that is set up for the revenue stream.
Net Profit This value equals the Gross Profit, as displaced values do not apply.
Net Profit % The Net Profit divided by the Gross Revenue.

Total

Data Description
Gross Revenue The sum of Rooms, Ancillary and Conference & Banquet gross revenue. This value is the total revenue earned from the group for the selected stay dates, before deducting revenue loss due to costs.
Total Cost The sum of all Total Cost values.
Net Revenue The sum of all Net Revenue values.

Day of Stay The numbered actual days of the group's stay.
Rooms The number of rooms occupied by the group on each Day of Stay
Displaced Rooms

Incremental Rooms The number of rooms used by the group minus the Displaced Rooms. This value indicates the net gain (or loss) in number of rooms that will result if the property accepts the group.
Occupancy ForecastClosed The number of rooms (or percentage of the total number of rooms) that G3 RMS expects the property to achieve for the period. For the calculation, see the Demand and Wash - Overview topic (under Data Details).

Occupancy Forecast With Group The constrained forecast of the occupancy, which G3 RMS expects the property to achieve if the group is accepted for the arrival date. The G3 RMS group forecast includes future group business to come, based on the system’s calculations, but the system does not consider previous evaluations.
