Optimizing Room Allocation: An Overview of Booking Assignment Models

To support efficient property management and promote long-term asset care, we offer several booking assignment models designed to control how rooms are allocated. These models help distribute usage more evenly across all units, reduce overuse of specific rooms, and support better operational workflows such as housekeeping and maintenance planning.

Available Booking Assignment Models

1. Alphabetical/Numerical (Default)

This is the standard model, which assigns the first available room based on its title or number.
Example: Rooms 1–9 are often assigned first, leading to disproportionate wear and tear over time.

2. Lowest Occupancy First

This model prioritizes rooms with the fewest total booked nights to date.
Benefit: Helps ensure more balanced usage across the property by rotating underutilized rooms into more frequent use.

3. Lowest Revenue First

Reservations are directed to the room that has generated the least revenue from current bookings.
Benefit: Useful for equalizing revenue contributions across all units, especially in multi-tiered pricing environments.

4. Manual Priority

With this approach, rooms are assigned based on a custom priority sequence defined in the Room Type settings within the Admin Portal.
Benefit: Ideal for managers who want direct control over the booking order for specific business reasons.

5. Stay Length Balance

This model balances the distribution of short (1–2 nights) and long (3+ nights) stays across all rooms.
