Minimum stays should protect operational capacity without blocking useful demand. Review the gaps they create before applying one rule across all dates.
A practical approach
- List unsold gaps between confirmed reservations.
- Check whether your restriction makes each gap bookable.
- Relax rules only where housekeeping and arrival coverage permit.
An example to consider
A four-night minimum cannot fill a three-night gap. A shorter booking may still be useful when its net revenue covers the extra turnover.
What to track
Track gap nights sold and turnover cost per occupied night.
