Four practical jobs in daily hotel operations.
Preparing a bank holiday weekend
For Whitsun you set a minimum stay and weekend price and price up two, three and four nights before the rate goes online.
Non-refundable, but cheaper
Alongside the flexible rate, you sell a non-refundable one at a lower price. The preview shows the difference for each night.
Trade fair in town
For three trade fair days you raise the price specifically. The rest of the week stays on your seasonal rule.
Evening walk-in
Reception chooses room and rate and gets the valid price including tourist tax, without looking anything up in a price list.
Common questions: Prices & rates
What does STRYK combine under prices and rates?+
STRYK connects category base prices, rate plans, pricing rules, daily overrides, discounts, tourist tax and sales channel into one traceable calculation. The property works with one sales logic instead of several conflicting price lists.
Where does pricing begin?+
It begins with a reliable base price for each room category. Rate plan, season, weekday, occupancy, guest count, booking time and other deliberately configured rules build on that base.
What is a rate plan?+
A rate plan describes a sellable offer-such as flexible, non-refundable, direct or contracted-and connects pricing, validity, meal plan and cancellation policy. Guests can clearly see what they are choosing.
Which pricing rules can a property model?+
Rules can apply to date ranges, seasons, weekdays, categories, rate plans and other sales contexts. Their effective order remains reviewable so one rule does not silently mask another.
Can the property adjust individual days manually?+
Yes. A deliberate daily rate can be set as an override. It remains distinguishable from the regular base price and automated recommendations rather than becoming a hidden side calculation.
How does the team verify a price before selling?+
Price preview calculates a real example stay with dates, category, rate plan, sales channel, guest count and optional discount code. The price breakdown shows how the final amount was produced.
Does STRYK consider adults and children?+
Pricing receives the actual occupancy of the stay. The property’s configured room and pricing logic determines applicable supplements, reductions and capacity limits.
How do discounts and booking codes work?+
Discounts can be limited by date and tied to minimum or maximum stay, guest count, category, lead time, weekday, company context or sales channel. Their effect is reviewed in price preview before publication.
Can STRYK consider minimum stay and booking lead time?+
Yes. Length-of-stay and lead-time conditions can feed rate and discount logic. A stay that does not qualify is handled according to the valid sales condition rather than merely receiving a higher price.
How is tourist tax handled?+
The property configures the relevant tax in its proper local context. STRYK carries it traceably into pricing, guest information and finance; local legal and exemption rules must be professionally reviewed before launch.
How do closures and capacity caps affect sales?+
Price and availability are checked together. A closed category or exhausted capacity must not appear as bookable merely because a price rule exists.
Does the booking engine use the same prices?+
Yes. The direct booking page sells the rooms and rates approved in STRYK. Immediately before confirmation, STRYK checks the price, taxes, extras and available capacity again.
Which price enters a manual booking?+
Front desk uses the price calculated for dates, room product, occupancy and rate plan. A deliberate manual deviation remains distinguishable from the regular result and traceable on the booking.
How do pricing and the channel manager connect?+
STRYK passes rates, room categories, availability and restrictions to the connected portals, such as Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb. Which portals are active depends on each hotel’s mapping. A price or availability change is distributed from the same hotel data. Connect Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and other channels to STRYK. Manage rates and availability centrally and handle OTA reservations in the calendar.
Is intelligent pricing part of the same pricing environment?+
Yes. After review, recommendations can enter the same pricing logic as rate overrides. STRYK shows rationale, limits and approval state and does not claim opaque, autonomously learning pricing AI.
Does the property retain control over automated recommendations?+
Yes. Strategy, minimum and maximum limits, approval mode, data quality and safeguards determine whether a recommendation is observed, applied manually or automated under control.
Who may change prices?+
The property grants pricing, revenue and approval permissions according to responsibility. Housekeeping or basic front-desk roles do not automatically receive access to sensitive pricing strategy.
Which reports support pricing decisions?+
Pricing and revenue reports connect date range, occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, overrides and recommendations. Preview, PDF and Excel-compatible export use the same selection and data state.
How should a small property set up pricing?+
Start with a few clear categories, reliable base rates and two understandable rate plans. Then add seasons, weekends, discounts and special dates and test them with real example stays.
How does the team spot an incorrect pricing rule?+
Price preview shows an unexpected result or inapplicable condition for several test stays. The team corrects the central rule first and retests rather than fixing every booking price individually.
What happens when a price cannot be calculated completely?+
STRYK pauses the process and shows what is missing. The team can confirm the price only when category, rate, occupancy and pricing rule fit together.
What do pricing, rates and revenue cost in STRYK?+
€59 base fee plus €6 per room or unit each month. Every room counts. Billed yearly. 12-month contract, with cancellation notice due three months before the term ends. Without cancellation, the contract renews for 12 months. Monthly payment is the default. A switch to annual prepayment takes effect on the next billing date and starts a new 12-month term. For a property’s first STRYK contract, the discount applies for twelve months to the base fee only. Room fees, add-ons, transaction fees and third-party costs remain unchanged. It cannot be paid out in cash or combined with other special terms unless the individual offer states otherwise. Net of applicable VAT. Add-ons and transaction costs are separate. STRYK Pricing Intelligence: Try free for 1 month. 1.9% of net room revenue. Room services delivered and recorded in STRYK, after corrections, excluding VAT and extras. Only periods of paid module use are charged. Becomes paid after one calendar month unless cancelled.
What can you try with pricing in your demo access?+
In your demo access you set up a base price, flexible and non-refundable rates, seasonal pricing, weekends and a discount code. Then you compare specific stays through to the final price at front desk and on the booking page.
