Once procedures for gathering room count information are established, planning procedures can be extended to longer periods of time to form a more reliable basis for revenue, expense, and labour forecasting.




Below points will help the front desk team to do a accurate room count :

  • Make counts of the rack and reservations. On tight days, a count should be made at 07:00 Am, Noon, 03:00 PM, and 06:00 PM. On Normal Days, a 07:00 AM and 06:00 PM Count will be OK.
  • Check Room Rack against the folio bucket or Open balance report to catch sleepers and skippers.
  • Check housekeeping reports against the room rack to catch sleepers and skippers
  • Check for rooms that are due out, but still have balance on their folios, especially where credit cards are the indicated source of payment.
  • Check reservations for any Duplications.
  • Check all the reservation systems to make sure reservation status of all cancelled reservations has been marked as cancelled on the system.
  • Check the Switchboard, Telephone Rack, Or Alphabetical room rack to make sure that the guest is not already registered.
  • Call the local airport or Airport representative  for a report on cancelled flights.
  • Check the weather report for cities from which a number of guests are expected.
  • Check reservations against convention blocks to catch duplications.
  • Check with other hotels for duplicate reservations if a City event team had booked the hotel room as a second choice.
  • Check arrival dates on all reservation form with the arrival list from the PMS to make sure none was entered wrongly.
  • Check room cancellation list.
  • After the property's cut-off time, if it becomes necessary, pull any reservations that were not guaranteed or pre paid.
  • If any rooms are out-of-order or not presently in use, check to see if they can be made up. Let housekeeping know when a tight  day is expected, so that all possible rooms are made up.
  • Before Leaving from work, convey in writing all pertinent information to the oncoming staff.
