Restrictions

Minimum stay, closed to arrival, stop sell, a closed date — written once, shown above the chart, and pushed to every channel.

A restriction is a rule on a night: the guest must stay at least two, no arrivals on this date, do not sell this type on that one, the hotel is closed on the other. Each is a dated row a manager writes once, and every screen that sells reads it.

Where a restriction is applied

The quote at the desk refuses a stay that breaks one and says which rule.
The booking page hides what cannot be sold rather than failing at the last step.
The CRS shows the sister hotel's availability against its own rules.
The channel manager pushes the same rows to the OTAs in their own words — MinLOS, CTA, CTD, stop-sell.

The desk can open and close what is for sale

A room type or a date can be opened or closed from the desk by a role that has the right; a room can be blocked from the chart with a reason. Both are restrictions the channel is told about in the same minute.

What is not a restriction

An overbooking allowance is a number of rooms a hotel is willing to sell past its count, per type, and a channel booking that arrives into a full type is not a failure — it is a booking waiting for a room, on the chart in its own lane, and the desk decides.

More on Rates & inventory

Rate plans and seasonsA hotel keeps its own plans — room-only, breakfast, half board, full board — each saying what it includes, priced by season, and read by every screen that quotes. Every plan is priced on one formRoom-only, breakfast, half board and full board for every room type across a date range — set in one press, not twelve. Derived ratesThe tariff is one number and the gaps: type the display rate, the room gap and the meal gap, and every plan on every type is derived — with the OTA promotion on top. A room is priced by who sleeps in itSingle, double, triple, the extra bed, the child under six and the child under twelve — the quote reads the occupancy, and the channel receives the same table. The GST slabThe slab follows the tariff by law. The system reads the rate on the night and applies the slab in force — and a channel price that says tax zero is a price with the tax inside it. The rate agreed is the rate carriedThe price on the booking is the price the night is posted at. The desk may name it until the guest leaves; after that a change is a note, not an edit. Rooms and room typesA hotel keeps its own inventory — types, real room numbers, floors, how each is made up — and changes it after go-live without raising a ticket. How many rooms are left each nightThirty nights down the page with the sold, the blocked and the free — for the person deciding whether to open the rate. The rate is recommended with its reasons, and a person says yesEvery night of every room type scored every hour against what is on the books — occupancy against the hotel's own booking curve, pickup, last rooms, need dates, events — and a price proposed with the reasons in words. Approve writes it and the channel is told the same minute. Off by default; no autopilot.
