How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested. Advice unless labeled verified. This brief is a worksheet, not an appraisal and not a quote.

## The job

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.

**Outcome the catalog names:** A published min-stay rule, a named exception owner, and a weekend ADR you can defend. Silent waives are a fail.

**Desk:** owner
**Urgency on the catalog:** This booking window
**Typical budget band (catalog, not a quote):** $9–18k rule sprint + any RMS shape
**Typical timeline (catalog, not a promise):** 3–5 weeks to a desk habit

## 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.

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.
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.
3. **Keep the RMS from writing the waive.** Recommend length-of-stay. A human applies. Silent optimization is how Saturday dies.
4. **Score the waives, not the slogan.** How many exceptions, what ADR they bought, what Saturday they spent. Monday pack.

## 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.
