It fits perfectly
You plan the revenue with available rooms, available nights, accommodation and ADR by category.
You use separate rates on weekdays and weekends with monthly seasonal rates.
You want an extra monthly income attached to the basic room revenue.
You need related costs, salaries, CAPEX, scenarios, reports and management reports.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your basic revenue depends on your vehicle's day stocks instead of the night room categories.
You need distance at the booking level, duration, one-way or based on price logic.
Your fleet schedule requires detailed vehicle purchases, sales or asset-based financing.
You need work schedules or reports that differ significantly from the established structure of the workbook.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
