GOPPAR. Ring any bells?
If not, perhaps it should. Understanding what GOPPAR is and how it can improve your business will help take you to the next level in the hotel world.
GOPPAR is an acronym that stands for Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room. That’s to say, it’s a metric that looks at the number of rooms you have available in your hotel and your gross operating profit (rather than simply the revenue from the sale of hotel rooms).
It’s a key performance indicator for hoteliers as it looks at the effectiveness of your hotel as a whole. It considers your room revenue, great, but it also looks at the entire operational performance of your hotel: it takes into account staffing costs, marketing, utilities and more.
This means your GOPPAR can help highlight which areas of your business are over performing and which are underperforming, when expenses are too high and when you can take them low, at what time of year and where.
Use the GOPPAR metric right and you’ll be able to better manage your hotel.
So, how do you find out your GOPPAR? Through a simple formula and calculation.
It’s a key performance indicator for hoteliers as it looks at the effectiveness of your hotel as a whole.
The GOPPAR calculation is made using the following formula:
Gross Operational Profit / Available Rooms
To find your gross operational profit, you take your gross revenue and subtract your gross expenditure. There are a lot of hidden but important costs involved in running a hotel, so on top of your staffing and room expenses, don’t forget your property operation and maintenance costs, your utility bills, or your sales and marketing budget.
Divide this figure by the number of available rooms in your hotel and you have your GOPPAR. Simple, right?
Your GOPPAR can help you indicate your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. But to improve your GOPPAR, you need concrete ways and means.
That’s where Avirato comes in. Avirato can increase your hotel revenue by increasing the average spend of your guests. Not just in their rooms, but through a whole host of purchasing potential. This means a larger gross revenue, improved GOPPAR, and, of course, a healthier hotel business.
