Capacity Control

Definición

Capacity Controls—also known as Stay Controls—are a set of booking restrictions used to manage demand and optimize profitability when room supply is limited. These controls help filter which bookings are accepted based on predefined criteria such as length of stay, arrival dates, and booking pace. These tools are essential during high-demand periods to ensure that rooms are allocated to the most profitable reservations.

Cómo utilizarlo

In revenue management, Capacity Controls are applied to shape demand and protect revenue. These controls are typically managed through your Property Management System (PMS) or Channel Manager.

Fórmula

There isn’t a traditional formula for Capacity Controls, but their application is based on: Occupancy forecasts, booking pace, revenue per available room (RevPAR) goals and event calendars and demand drivers. Strategic use of these controls maximizes room value, especially during compression periods.
