Key Benefits of the Weekend and Weekday Rule
Take full control of your room rates with HotelRank’s intelligent Weekend and Weekday Hotel Pricing Rule. Designed to help independent hotels optimize pricing based on daily demand patterns, this feature lets you automate rate changes for weekdays and weekends effortlessly. Whether you attract business travelers during the week or leisure guests on weekends, the Weekend and Weekday Hotel Pricing Rule ensures your pricing strategy is always aligned with occupancy trends and revenue goals.
Maximize Occupancy and Revenue
Set higher rates on weekends when demand is high and offer competitive prices on weekdays to fill rooms.
Automated Rate Adjustments
Save time by automating weekday/weekend rate updates instead of changing them manually every day.
Appeal to Different Guest Segments
Customize pricing to attract both business and leisure travelers depending on the day of the week.
Greater Flexibility for Promotions
Launch targeted promotions like "Midweek Madness" or "Weekend Getaways" with clear pricing structure.
Better Forecasting and Planning
Gain clear insights into weekly occupancy trends and adjust staffing, housekeeping, and operations accordingly.
Pro-Tip
Use the Weekend and Weekday Rule with your Occupancy Rule for maximum impact. For example, apply higher weekend rates, but offer an additional price boost if occupancy crosses 80%. This dual-rule strategy helps you capture peak demand while staying competitive midweek.
