A yield scheme contains the information as to which BAR should be applied up to which occupancy level. Set-up a number of different yield schemes for a variety of uses, for example during trade shows, main-, low- and off-season.
Yield schemes are set up in the master files (menu Master files – Yield management).
Example:
The cheapest BAR BAR1 can be booked up to 35% occupancy, thereafter the medium rate BAR2 applies up to 50% occupancy and once this occupancy level has been reached, guests will be able to book only at the most expensive rate BAR3.
