NOBEDS Dashboard Widget Preview
Live SimulatorHow NOBEDS App Tracks Occupancy
In the NOBEDS PMS, occupancy is calculated dynamically based on real-time database records.
Database Logic (quantity == 0): In the system database, when a guest books a room for a specific date, the inventory record for that day is updated to quantity = 0. Unbooked or available rooms have a quantity of 1 or more.
The Monthly Formula: NOBEDS tallies all booked room-days (where quantity is 0) and divides it by the total potential capacity (Total Rooms × Unique Days in Month) to produce the monthly average occupancy rate.
The main dashboard widget displays a comparison line chart showing your current year average occupancy (blue line) vs. the previous year average occupancy (orange line) for the last 12 months. This highlights growth trends and seasonal patterns immediately.
Smart Insights & Methodology
What is Occupancy Rate?
Occupancy rate indicates what percentage of your total available rental inventory is occupied by paying guests over a specific period. It is one of the most fundamental performance metrics (KPIs) in the hospitality industry.
How to Calculate Occupancy Rate
The formula is simple: divide the number of occupied rooms by the total number of available rooms, then multiply by 100.Occupancy Rate = (Occupied Rooms / Available Rooms) * 100
For example, if you have 30 available rooms and 18 are booked, your occupancy rate is 60%.
Why is it important?
Occupancy rate helps you understand demand patterns, validate your marketing efforts, and manage staffing levels. However, it shouldn't be looked at in isolation. High occupancy with very low room rates will hurt your bottom line, whereas balanced occupancy with high rates is often more profitable.
