Block/Pickup Comparison report

The Block/Pickup Comparison report displays original and current guestrooms, average rates, and guestroom revenue. The report considers only bookings—volume contracts are not included.

The Block/Pickup report lets you:

• Compare the differences between original rooms blocked, current rooms blocked, and rooms picked up for each booking. Using these three values, you can evaluate how close the booking came to meeting its full potential.
• Analyze the booking roomnight pattern.
• Compare the overall performance of one market segment with another.
• Identify roomnight, revenue, and ADR patterns during the specified time period.
• Develop a comprehensive picture of the quality of business booked by the sales team.

You should run this report weekly to:

• Review bookings due to arrive in upcoming months.
• Review pickup rooms and revenue from previous weeks.
• Identify the bookings that contributed to the property’s slippage factor for a specific time frame.
