Definition
The most comprehensive profitability metric in hospitality, measuring actual profit generated per available room after all operating expenses. Unlike RevPAR which only considers revenue, GOPPAR accounts for costs—making it the truest measure of operational efficiency. A hotel can have high RevPAR but low GOPPAR if costs are poorly managed.

A competitive metric comparing your hotel's occupancy to your compset's average occupancy. MPI above 100 means you're capturing more than your fair share of demand; below 100 indicates competitors are winning more bookings. MPI reveals whether your distribution, visibility, or value proposition needs attention—even if absolute occupancy looks healthy.
Learn more →Occupancy Rate
The percentage of available rooms that are occupied, calculated as rooms sold ÷ rooms available (× 100). While high occupancy is positive, it's not the ultimate goal—selling 100% of rooms at low rates may generate less profit than 80% occupancy at premium rates. Always evaluate occupancy alongside ADR and RevPAR for the complete picture.
