RDP DOS - Room Rate
Sets, Single Occupancy, and Sharewiths
Added 8/12/99
Article ID#: K000013
When defining room rate sets in option 186-4,
develop room charges for single occupancy reservations. For example, if the
room portion of a golf package is $50 based on double occupancy, but $45 for
single occupancy, add a room rate set for single occupancy.
With a single occupancy room rate set
defined, a "Golf - Single Occupancy" package can be created. With
this package defined, reservationists have the option of selecting the
single person package, as opposed to overriding the rate for double
occupancy.
Similarly, when guests are sharing a room and
are on the same package, define the package rate set for a single person, as
opposed to a double occupancy rate. For example, if two adults are sharing a
room and require individual folios, each receives the "double
occupancy" rate. In order to achieve this, define rate sets starting
with one person, even if the package is based on double occupancy. With the
rate set defined for one person, the reservationist simply chooses the
"double occupancy" golf package for each sharewith reservation and
the system calculates the rate based on the single person room rate.
Scenario #1 - One Person
in the Room on a Golf Package
Mr. Jones is arriving Thursday, November 1
for three nights. Mr. Jones is playing golf and wants to book the "Two
Day/Three Night Golf Package". When the reservationist books Mr. Jones'
reservations, the following rate plans are available:
Package "GFSI" - "2Dy/3Nt -
Single" uses a rate set of "SING", where the single occupancy
rate is defined for one bedroom units (displayed below):
Scenario #2 - Two People
Share a Room on the Golf Package
Mr. Smith and Mr. Lee are sharing a room and
both are booked on the "3Dy/2Nt Golf Package". In this scenario,
the guests receive the discounted rate based on double occupancy. And,
instead of the rate plan for single occupancy being assigned, the double
occupancy package is assigned to each.
The system calculates the rates based on the
rate set assigned to rate plan "GFDO". In this example, the rate
set is "DOUB", seen below for both one and two people.
The "DOUB" rate set for one adult
appears above, while the same rate set for two people appears below. The
price for a single is exactly half of the double price. Whereas the price
for the single occupancy rate set is slightly higher than half. The double
occupancy package is used for sharewiths or when two people are sharing the
same room but require only one folio, i.e. - a husband and wife.
