House Use

Rooms occupied by hotel staff, management, owners, or used for operational purposes such as offices, storage, or linen rooms. House-use rooms are removed from sellable inventory and do not generate revenue.

Why it matters: Every house-use room reduces revenue capacity. Revenue managers need to know how many rooms are in house use to calculate true available inventory. Periodic reviews of house-use allocations can free up rooms for sale.
