Last month, at Xotels – hotel revenue management consulting we discussed the apparent need for hotels to implement a revenue management strategy for their spa in order to maximize the profitability of their business. So let’s now take a closer look, and define the Key Performance Indicators that need to be measured.
Just like Average Room Rate, Occupancy, REVPAR, GOPPAR, for Hotel Revenue Management, Spa Revenue Management has its own statistics. The 4 most important KPIs to measure Spa performance are:
1. Spa Utilization Ratio (SUR)
To calculate the utilization ratio of your spa you need to define time and space units to be measured. For example, if a spa has 5 treatments rooms and is open from 10.00am till 8.00pm. And during the week you have sold for 250 hours of treatment. The occupancy will be 71,4%. The utilization ratio is calculated as follows:
SUR = hours of treatment sold / hours of treatment available
250 hours of treatment sold / (10 hours * 5 treatment rooms * 7 days) = 71,4%
2. Average Treatment Rate (ATR)
The Average Treatment Rate is the revenue generated divided by the number of treatments sold. The Average Treatment Rate will vary upon the level of demand, day of the week, type of treatments sold …The ATR is a good indicator when using a dynamic pricing strategy.
3. REVPATH
Treatment Revenues
Treatment Rooms x Opening Hours
It is basically the same as REVPAR for your hotel rooms.
Based on the REVPATH results, you will be able to identify trends per of the day of the week and time of day. It will enable you to develop a strategy to sell premium products during specific time slots of high demand or offer a promotion to appeal to clients during lower demand hours.
4. SREVPOR
- Total revenue per client (TREVPEC)
- Revenue per square meter (TREVPSQM)
- Therapist Productivity
Next month we will discuss how to build a Pricing Strategy for your Spa.
