CPOR (Cost Per Occupied Room)

Operating cost per occupied room. Define the cost scope before using it: fully allocated CPOR includes allocated operating costs, while an incremental servicing-cost view includes only costs that change when one more room is occupied.

Why it matters: For marginal pricing, convert avoidable servicing cost into a channel-adjusted incremental contribution floor. Do not label that floor as fully allocated CPOR or treat either measure as a universal selling-rate target; use property-specific cost behavior and channel terms.
