3 Randomness in RM Every problem in RM involves uncertainty.
Uncertainty means that a process is random. Website visits Conversions Calls to reservations Booking a room Group sales Restaurant visits Check-in No shows Cancellations We need to count how often we can expect a random event to occur. How often an event occurs if the FREQUENCY. Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

8 Normal Distribution Excel
Given an average and a standard deviation, you can get the probability that any # of rooms will be sold. 1 - NORM.DIST(number of rooms, average, standard deviation, TRUE) Given an average and a standard deviation, you can get the # of rooms that will be sold with a certain probability. NORM.INV(1-specific probability, average, standard deviation) Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

11 Core Assumption of all Decision Sciences
Expected Value If the scenario plays out many times. Reward x Chance of Reward = Rational, Long term Expected Value (Law of Very Large Numbers) Core Assumption of all Decision Sciences The Blue Pill Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

18 Fundamental Model of Demand
How many units can I sell at each price point? High We’d like to put this relationship into a mathematical model. Demand Curve Quantity (Q) Low Prices (P) Low High Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

How many rooms can I sell at each rate? High Hotel Demand Curve Rooms (Q) Low Rate (P) Low High Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

20 Fundamental Model of RM
Data Point 1. How many rooms sold when we charge a low rate? (L,H) Data Point 2. How many rooms sold when we charge a high rate?

31 Demand Formula Rooms = SLOPE . Rate + INTERCEPT
(1,400) , (8,100) Rooms = Rate Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

32 Revenue Formula Rooms = SLOPE . Rate + INTERCEPT
Revenue = Rate . Rooms Revenue = Rate . (SLOPE . Rate + INTERCEPT) Revenue = SLOPE . Rate2 + Rate . INTERCEPT Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization

33 Revenue = Rate . (-.023 . Rate + 10.33)
Revenue Formula Revenue = Rate . ( Rate ) Revenue = Rate2 + Rate Revenue = Revenue = , Revenue = , = 800 Prepared by Origin World Labs Belmond RM Conference 2014 : Mathematical Hotel Revenue Optimization
