PART I – Revenue Management Principles
Chapter 1 – Introduction to Revenue Management
Revenue is the total amount of sales achieved in a specifc tme period. Calculatonn
Number of units sold x nit price = Revenue
Revenue management is stll a relatvely new feld of expertse. It has been established mainly in the lodging
industry now and not yet in the foodservice segment.
Efectve revenue managersn
nderstand the importance of revenue management;
nderstand the many complex factors that infuence revenue management strategy and tactcs;
Become beter at making revenue management decisions than their compettors.
How much to charge for hospitality products? This is the main queston revenue management is based on.
Before, it was assumed that the prices of hospitality prices should be based on the product’s costs.
However, now, revenue managers know that costs and price are related but that the later is not dependent
on the former nor it should be.
Hospitality business is an organiiaton providing food, beverages, lodging, travel or entertainment services
to people away from their homes.
The purpose of the hospitality businessn
To achieve profts;
To generate returns on investment for the business’s owners.
B T THEY ARE FLAWED..
The Profit Fallacy
“Organizatinn that primarily ficun in generatng prift will inevitably gi iut if buninenn becaune they will
line iut ti irganizatinn that kniw eniugh ti nit ficun in priftabilityy
The critcal nature of profts should not lead those in business to focus their eforts on maximiiing their
companies’ proft levels. The focus must be elsewhere. Where? First understand priftn.
Accountancy’s proft formulan Proft + Costs = Sales
Basic algebran Total Revenue - Total expenses = Proft
Revenue = Sales = Income
Expenses = costs We know there are diferent types of costs/expenses; fxed costs, variable costs,
controllable costs, non-controllable costs.
In order to be a good revenue manager you need to understand proft cimpletely and differently!
Profit is the net value achieved by a seller and a buyer in a business transacton. So; both buyer and seller
make a gain. Figure 1.1 page 6
Money is not the item being traded. Money is used as the item to be exchanged.
