In hotel operations, having a quick grasp of daily business performance is crucial for making timely and accurate decisions, from pricing adjustments and room allocation to shaping long-term revenue strategies. Understanding this need, Hotel Link is introducing the Operational Summary, a new section that will appear right on the Extranet Dashboard, giving hotel owners and operational teams instant visibility into key performance metrics. The Operational Summary is expected to roll out to all hotels by the end of November 2025.
The Operational Summary is a newly added information block located just below the Todolist on the Hotel Link Dashboard. It provides a quick overview of the most important operational KPIs without requiring users to open additional reports or switch pages. Everything is displayed in a concise, visual, and easy-to-understand format, helping hotel managers save time and monitor daily performance more effectively.
This new section highlights the most essential KPIs in hotel management to support faster and smarter decision-making. The main metrics include:
Shows daily room usage so hotels can clearly understand current and upcoming demand levels.
Helps evaluate pricing performance over time and compare it against revenue goals.
A critical indicator for assessing overall room revenue performance.
Displays the hotel’s total daily revenue, helping assess its financial health.
Offers deeper insights into revenue optimization across multiple services (F&B, upsell items, add-on amenities, etc.).
A standout feature of the Operational Summary is the Daily Booking Chart, showing bookings for the current week and the upcoming week. This chart helps hotels:
Monitor demand fluctuations (peak vs. off-peak) and quickly identify days with unexpectedly high or low booking volumes.
Forecast upcoming guest traffic for better planning in staffing, housekeeping, and F&B preparation.
Adjust pricing strategies on a day-by-day basis, applying hurdle rates for high-demand days or promotional rates to stimulate low-demand days.
Optimize resources and operational costs, avoiding under- or over-staffing and better managing procurement.
This feature is especially valuable for hotels operating in dynamic markets, such as weekend destinations or locations with frequent events.
The Operational Summary also includes two key ranking tables:
Top Booked Room Nights by Channel – Showing which OTAs or channels generate the most room nights.
Top Booked Room Nights by Room Type – Highlighting which room categories drive the highest performance.
These insights help hotels:
Identify high-performing sales channels.
Adjust room allocation strategies based on real performance.
Recognize strong-demand room types to optimize pricing and packages.
The Operational Summary not only provides a fast overview but also serves as a convenient entry point. Users can click “View Daily Operation Report” to access the complete detailed report, including granular data by day, room, and room group. This creates a seamless analysis workflow, enabling management teams to investigate KPI fluctuations and make more data-driven strategic decisions.
