Revenue Management
Expert Hotel Revenue Management for Independent Properties
Frontdeskey's revenue management service helps independent hotels and boutique properties maximise their Average Daily Rate, RevPAR and overall revenue — using data-driven pricing strategy and deep hospitality expertise.
What is hotel revenue management?
Hotel revenue management is the practice of selling the right room, to the right guest, at the right price, through the right channel, at the right time. It combines demand forecasting, competitive rate analysis and channel strategy to ensure a hotel earns the maximum possible revenue from every available room night. Key metrics include Average Daily Rate (ADR), Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) and occupancy rate. Frontdeskey offers hotel revenue management services for independent hotels, resorts and accommodation businesses worldwide. The service is available internationally to properties of all sizes.
Frontdeskey offers expert hotel revenue management as a service for independent hotels and boutique properties. Our team analyses your market, competitive set and demand patterns to build a pricing strategy that maximises your ADR and RevPAR — using the rate management tools built into the Frontdeskey PMS and channel manager.

Key Revenue Metrics Explained
ADR
Average Daily Rate — the average revenue earned per occupied room per night. A core measure of pricing performance.
RevPAR
Revenue Per Available Room — calculated by multiplying ADR by occupancy rate. The most important overall measure of hotel revenue performance.
Occupancy
The percentage of available rooms that are occupied on any given night. Balancing occupancy with ADR is the core challenge of revenue management.
Direct Booking Share
The proportion of bookings made directly through your website versus OTAs. Increasing direct booking share reduces commission costs.
