Rooms
Which room is actually earning, and which one is only busy?
Best per available hour
Room 3 · $20.4
at 35% occupied — against $21.2 four weeks ago
Nowhere near the fullest room, and the only one whose rate the building can defend.
Fullest room
Room 5 · 67%
and $14.8 an available hour, which is $5.6 behind
Printed next to each other on purpose. Occupancy alone would put this room first.

How a room is judged
- 1Revenue over sellable hours — every hour the room could have been sold, including the empty ones.
- 2Held hours come out of the denominator. They were never on the market and counting them as misses would make the neighbours' agreement look like a sales problem.
- 3Occupancy is printed beside it, never instead of it. A cheap room that is always full and an expensive room that is half empty can earn the same, and only one of them has room to grow.
- 4No room is compared to another room's rate. Room 3 has a control desk in it and Room 6 has a carpet.
Four weeks is the comparison rather than last week, because term bands book in four-week blocks and a week-on-week figure is mostly the calendar.
The Room 4 problem
Room 4 loses hours every time Room 3 books, which means the better the tracking room does, the worse Room 4 looks. Those two figures are not independent and no per-room table can say so.
It is written here instead. The honest reading is that Room 3 and Room 4 are one room with two doors, and the money they make together is the only figure either of them can be judged on.
Six rooms · per available hour, and how full
| Room | Rate | Held | Booked of sellable | Taken | Per hour | vs four weeks ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Room 1The one with the riser. Two term bands treat it as theirs and mostly are. | $34 | 13 h | 53% · 49 of 92 h | $1,666 | $18.1was $16.4 | +1.7 · up |
| Room 2Identical to Room 1 minus the riser, and sells about two thirds as well for that reason alone. | $30 | 13 h | 35% · 32 of 92 h | $960 | $10.4was $11.8 | -1.4 · down |
| Room 3The only room that earns its rate. Every hour booked here silences Room 4. | $58 | 17 h | 35% · 31 of 88 h | $1,798 | $20.4was $21.2 | -0.8 · down |
| Room 4Shares a wall with the tracking booth. Cannot be sold while Room 3 is running. | $22 | 41 h | 48% · 31 of 64 h | $682 | $10.7was $9.2 | +1.5 · up |
| Room 5The workhorse. Booked more hours than anything else in the building. | $22 | 10 h | 67% · 64 of 95 h | $1,408 | $14.8was $15.9 | -1.1 · down |
| Room 6Drummers, duos and anybody who has been priced out of the others. | $18 | 10 h | 53% · 50 of 95 h | $900 | $9.5was $8.8 | +0.7 · up |
Rates are the list price and every room is under it in practice. The highest rate in the building is $58 and no room has ever averaged it across a week, which is what a per-available-hour figure is for — it is the rate the room actually achieved, and it is the only one worth putting in a budget.
