Pick-up report

Understanding the Pick-up report in HotelSync software

Pick-up Report is a hotel revenue and reservations report that shows how many reservations have been received for a selected period and how the booking pace is developing.

It is used to monitor reservation activity, track changes in occupancy and compare current booking performance with previous periods or the same period in previous years.

In hotel revenue management, the Pick-up Report helps you understand:

  • How many new reservations have been received.

  • How many reservations have been cancelled.

  • How the number of booked rooms has changed over a selected period.

  • How revenue and occupancy are developing.

  • Whether booking pace is increasing or slowing down.

In short: The Pick-up Report helps hoteliers monitor booking trends and make better-informed decisions about pricing, availability and sales strategy.
