Job brief

Hold a weekend floor without a quiet waive

How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested.

When sales waives the two-night Saturday under pressure, I want a written floor and an exception log so we stop teaching the market that one night is always available.

Usable on this screen

Scoped brief

Write the dates and the size that require a floor. Put exceptions in a log the owner can read. Stay Floor will sit with the desk. An RMS can recommend; it may not silently waive. One-night demand you refuse is the cost of teaching the market.

Outcome: A published min-stay rule, a named exception owner, and a weekend ADR you can defend. Silent waives are a fail.
Catalog budget band: $9–18k rule sprint + any RMS shape. A worksheet range, not a quote.
Catalog timeline: 3–5 weeks to a desk habit. Not a promise.

Step 1
Name the weekends that actually matter
October Saturday is not February Tuesday. Write the calendar. A year-round two-night rule on a weak house is cruelty.
Step 2
Publish the exception path
Who may waive, for what reason, and where it is written. If sales can waive in the PMS with no note, you do not have a rule.
Step 3
Keep the RMS from writing the waive
Recommend length-of-stay. A human applies. Silent optimization is how Saturday dies.
Step 4
Score the waives, not the slogan
How many exceptions, what ADR they bought, what Saturday they spent. Monday pack.

Decision worksheet

Questions, red flags, bands

Take this to a vendor call. Budget bands are Advice — a Harbor shape, not a quote.

Ask the vendor

1. Who types the status / number — a person, or your product?
2. What would have happened anyway in 90 days without you?
3. Show a property of this size and stack. Demo-labeled categories do not count as proof.
4. What can your agent never do (folio post, mark clean, change a rate)?
5. What is the kill-switch if guest comments move?

Red flags

· A rule nobody at the desk can explain.
· Comp rooms that never enter the log.
· An RMS that waives to hit occupancy.

When not to buy. Do not buy a stricter floor if your midweek is already empty and Saturday is the only night that sells. That is a demand job.

Do it in-house

Time and a named owner. No vendor. Use the 7-day plan first.

$9–18k rule sprint + any RMS shape

Saturday stopped being a one-night habit

Salt Porch · 74 keys · Folly Beach, SC

Claim.: A weekend floor the desk can defend.
Evidence.: Exception log vs PMS waives for twelve weekends.
