Hotel insight

Industry context

  • Measure for incremental profit capture when revenue rises. Can be computed at hotel, department, or line-item level.
  • Small changes in denominator rules can move the result, so keep the same reporting basis when comparing periods.
Operational notes

Before you act on the number

  • ($190,000 − $180,000) ÷ ($760,000 − $720,000) × 100 = 25.0%
  • Confirm whether internal-use, complimentary, adjustment, or excluded activity should be included before comparing periods.
  • Use this result as an operating guide and review it with the supporting business context.
