What can you set under a Room rate in Hotel management?
- Answer
A Room rate is a table with prices per day, which you can download and read in with Excel. A price in that table takes precedence over the base price of the type, but not over a seasonal price. You create it on the Products tab.
- Where to find it
Menu > Hotel management > Products > plus > Room rate (
/Hotel).- Explanation
A room rate determines what a room costs in a certain period. Outside that period the normal price applies. You give the Room rate a name and a VAT rate, choose a year and a month and fill in the prices per day. For most businesses it is easier to use Seasons & prices, see Rate plans, seasons and prices. The price per night is determined in this order: first the seasonal price, then the Standard rate of this table (if you fill it in), and otherwise the Base price of the type.
