Rooms Configuration

Use the Rooms setup to tell G3 RMS how to manage your room types. The steps in this setup are grouped into one process because they depend on each other. For example, when you create a new Room Class, you must also define its position in price ranking and upgrade paths. Use the following steps in this order: 

  1. Room Class: group room types with similar demand and pricing into a Room Class.
  2. Cost of Walk: G3 RMS considers the values that you set up for its overbooking calculations.
  3. Room Type: define settings at the Room Type level that match your business processes, like Overbooking or Special Use Room Types. G3 RMS overbooks to ensure that you can maximize revenue.
  4. Price Ranking and Upgrade Path: define a pricing hierarchy and what happens when demand is higher than capacity for some Room Classes and lower for others.
  5. Group Price Ranking and Upgrade Path:  set this up in the rare case where it differs for group business.
  6. Minimum Price Differential: set it up if two Room Classes must be priced apart by at least a certain amount.
  7. Display Preferences: determines the order that your Room Classes display in G3 RMS.

G3 RMS automatically saves your changes when you move between steps. Review each step when you work with the module to ensure consistent, correct settings, particularly after G3 RMS begins managing decisions for your property.

Master Class

A Master Class is needed for one or two purposes, depending on your property’s reservation system:

  1. For all reservation systems, the Master Class determines which Room Class decision G3 RMS shows when there is only space to show one. For example, the BAR decision on the Summary tab of the Business Analysis Dashboard is for the Master Class.
  2. G3 RMS optimizes BAR decisions by Room Class. Some reservation systems only support one pricing decision for all Room Classes. For those systems, the Master Class pricing decision applies to all other Room Classes. If that applies to your property, see Master Class Pricing below.

Master Class Pricing

If your reservation system doesn't support different pricing decisions by Room Class, the Master Class determines your pricing. For example, if BAR1 is the pricing decision for the Master Class for LOS1, then BAR1 is also the pricing decision for all other Room Classes. G3 RMS optimizes pricing for the Master Class while considering that the price must be optimal for all Room Classes.
