Hospitality Demand & Revenue Intelligence
AI ingests historical bookings, events, competitor rates, guest behavior, and F&B data to forecast demand across rooms and outlets in real time. It then optimizes pricing, promotions, and inventory while reducing food waste and emissions, boosting RevPAR and profitability. Hotels use these insights to align staffing, purchasing, and marketing with forecasted demand for more efficient, guest-centric operations.
The Problem
“Your rates, staffing, and F&B plans are based on stale forecasts and siloed data”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Revenue teams update forecasts and rates manually (Excel/weekly meetings), so pricing lags real demand shifts and events
Inconsistent decisions across properties/outlets because each manager uses different assumptions and spreadsheets
Competitor rate changes and pickup anomalies are detected late, causing avoidable ADR erosion or occupancy loss
F&B ordering/production is based on gut feel, leading to stockouts on busy days and double-digit food waste on slow days
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Pull and reconcile data from PMS/CRS, channel manager, STR/comp set reports, event calendars, POS
- •Build weekly/daily forecasts in spreadsheets and explain variances to stakeholders
- •Manually shop competitor rates and decide ADR/discounts/promos by segment and channel
- •Set staffing and F&B ordering/prep targets based on experience and last-year comps
Automation
- •Basic reporting dashboards (pickup, pace, occupancy) and static BI
- •Rule-based rate updates (if-then pricing rules) and limited RMS recommendations
- •Simple inventory controls (min/max, par levels) and POS reporting
Human Does
- •Define commercial strategy and guardrails (rate floors/ceilings, brand rules, segment priorities, overbooking risk tolerance)
- •Approve or supervise automated actions (e.g., which channels get discounts, when to close low-rate inventory)
- •Handle exceptions (group displacement decisions, major event overrides, data quality issues) and stakeholder communication
AI Handles
- •Continuously ingest and normalize signals from PMS/CRS, POS, web/app behavior, events, competitor rates, weather/holidays
- •Generate real-time demand forecasts by date, room type, segment, channel, and outlet covers; detect anomalies and pickup shifts
- •Optimize ADR, restrictions (MLOS/CTA/CTD), promos, and inventory allocation using elasticity and displacement modeling
- •Predict outlet demand and recommend purchasing/prep/production quantities to reduce waste while maintaining service levels
