Managing LOS restrictions

Hello everybody,

I have a question with regards to LOS restrictions. 

In the summer time we have a minimum LOS restriction of 4 nights. 

Now the board is filling up nicely with reservations and there are several gaps forming of 3 nights or less across the whole summer / catagories. 

Right now we have it set up as a LOS restriction per rate / room type for the summer period. 

 

Is the only way to open up these gaps, to adjust each restriction to end right before a gap and create a new one that starts afterwards? That seems super work intensive and tedious. (considering across 60 rooms there are quite a few gaps, at seperate days) 

 

Any tips / tricks? The chatbot is driving me insane.

    ​@Pwattel  good morning,

    yes i think you are right, thats the only option by now. 
    Why do you set them up by category? not for all categories?

    It might be easier than just exclude one categorie for example for the restriction and add a new one with the gap period.

    just to think about on that option.

      Thank you ​@Johannes Rott 

      I set them up by category so that I don't have to remove & remake a blanket restriction for all categories when having to adjust a single one. 

      The situation that promted my question: 
       

      • We have a Min. LOS restriction of 4 nights for the summer period on all rooms (split into different restrictions per category.) 
      • Currently there are ~15 gaps of 3 or less nights across 6 different categories and many different dates. 
      • Adjust the restrictions for each of these gaps would be quite the tedious and annoying task.

      ​@Pwattel  i know that issue, we just use a minimum stay of two nights during some and do see a lot of gaps as well but we remove them a week prior to make sure selling all the rooms and that worked fine.

        ​@Johannes Rott That is another option. But I would prefer to open them up further in advance. Compared to other PMS this seems like a really bad design choice by MEWS.
