If your assignment becomes managing one of the new venues, you have more freedom in setting up a new concept. So, this also applies to the rooms and facilities; don't bother about the way the rooms look in the original hotel. You can use the [[decisions|decision]] 'investments' for this purpose. You can [[investments|invest]] a maximum of € 900,000 per year in this. Possibly, you can also 'use' the item [[costs|other costs]] within the decisions to a maximum of € 100,000 per year. There are no liquidity problems in financing such investments.<br>

Families and people passing by are the [[Leisure targetgroup|Leisure target group]]. Depending on the configuration of the group/party, they will have school holidays during the high season or other weeks. They are a main target group for the weekends. The average room is occupied by 1,7 persons. Some of the rooms have connecting doors and are ideal to families having their children in a separate bedroom. So a party of 5, with three children can have one room with two beds and a second room with three beds connected with a door.<br>
<br>
So in fact, there are no special "family rooms" and as you can tell by the average of 1,7 there is not many big families. So you can target on any group you think is interested in the hotel.

<hr>
In the past it has been proven that the weekend days, so Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the main days this target group will book. The prices for these weekend days on taking over ranged from € 80 (last-minute) to € 100 (rack rate) per room per night. There is, due to flex-pricing and the internet, lots of diversity in the prices. These prices just give an indication. In addition , there are the 'old' rooms and the renovated ones. A clear and fixed price system dons't exist anymore, nowhere in the branch. Depending on the occupancy rate, the expectations and the guests, the price is often individually decided upon at the moment of request or quotation asked for.
 
The price of the room always includes breakfast. The breakfast is included in the room price and is considered to cost an average of € 10 per room per night. This cannot be left out of the room price, and is not considered to be part of the food and beverage spendings.
Apart from this, the average weekend day brings in an additional average of € 20 per person per night on food and beverages. So, at 1,7 persons per room per night, an average of € 37 per night for dinners, bar-use etc. is achieved. This is totally separate from the room price. This depends largely on the type of guest, the season and the number of people in the room.
 
=== Week guests ===__NOEDITSECTION__
Prices in this segment in the past ranged from € 100 minimum to € 140 maximum per room per night during the weekdays. The rooms are occupied by just one person and the [[Business  targetgroup|Business  target group]] is important so far. But, you can chose any target group. The weekdays guests specifically ask (most of the time) for renovated rooms, for the internet and they do not generally like to stay on the ground floor. Do not change the price by more then 20% per year: this will be way too much a change: there is a [[Bergman family#history|history]] on the hotel.
 
The room prices mentioned, which are the sales prices so the prices you will decide upon, have always included breakfast for all the guest(s) in the room.<br>
 
So if the average price is € 100 including the breakfast, the room price in fact is more like € 90 on an average if the breakfast costs would be left out. This is not possible by the way. Most rooms booked during the week will be occupied by one person.
 
In the documentation available so far, there is no visible distinction between which customers are booked in which rooms (renovated or not).
