New Calendar Page

The calendar is a familiar, time-tested interface that's easy to visualize—especially when it comes to accommodation pricing. Its standard layout mirrors how we perceive time itself—unsurprisingly so. From the very beginning, we knew the calendar would be one of the core features of the RoomRaiser dashboard. For a while, our focus shifted to developing and fine-tuning the smart, dynamic pricing algorithm—but now, with the release of RoomRaiser 2.0 in November, the calendar is here!

The new feature is available under the "Price Calendar" menu—enjoy!

Why is the calendar view so useful for pricing? 

Because pricing is all about time. As we mentioned, the calendar is the most natural layout for visualizing time in everyday life. RoomRaiser's Price Calendar allows you to view, access, and update your data with ease. It organizes information in the way we actually use it—in weeks and months—presented in a fast, easy-to-navigate format.

What can the RoomRaiser Price Calendar do?

Clicking the "Price Calendar" menu will take you to a monthly calendar view. The first "active" day is always today. 😊

Each daily tile shows, by default:

- Current occupancy

- Base rate for the day

- Previous price for the same day

- RoomRaiser’s recommended price for the day, highlighted

- A "More" button

 Clicking "More" opens a pop-up window with additional details for that day:

- Number of available rooms

- Number of rooms sold

- Number of rooms sold online

Competitor monitoring and dynamic pricing in one place

Scrolling further in the pop-up reveals competitor data:

- Market minimum (lowest price for similar rooms)

- Market maximum

- Average price

- Individual competitor room rates

RoomRaiser doesn’t just present your data clearly - it also gives you tools to monitor competitors and fine-tune your pricing—all from one unified interface.

And there's even more depth to explore in adjustable pricing!

Pricing up to 365 days ahead - made easy

Clicking any date tile takes you to a detailed page where you can review and update pricing for all your room types and capacities—up to 365 days in advance, one week at a time. Changes can be instantly published to your Channel Manager system in seconds.
