Understanding PAR Levels
PAR levels, or periodic automatic replenishment levels, help hosts maintain adequate supplies of essential amenities. This ensures guests have everything they need without frequent restocking interruptions.
Key Amenities to Consider
When calculating PAR levels, focus on amenities that guests frequently use. Common items include:
- Toilet paper
- Coffee
- Soap
These items can impact guest satisfaction significantly, so it's essential to get the numbers right.
How to Calculate PAR Levels
To determine the appropriate PAR level for each item, follow these steps:
- Identify the average usage rate for each amenity per booking.
- Estimate the number of bookings per week.
- Decide on the restocking frequency (daily, weekly, etc.).
Multiply the average usage by the number of bookings and your desired restocking frequency. This will give you the PAR level for each item.
Example Calculation
If you have an average of 2 rolls of toilet paper used per booking, 10 bookings a week, and restock weekly:
PAR Level = 2 rolls x 10 bookings x 1 week = 20 rolls
