HOSPITALITY GLOSSARY TERM
Cost Per Occupied Room (CPOR)
CPOR measures the average operational cost incurred to clean, maintain, and service a single occupied guestroom.
FORMULA CPOR = Total Variable Room Expenses / Total Number of Occupied Rooms
Detailed Explanation
CPOR includes variable costs like laundry, amenities, cleaning staff payroll, and utilities. Knowing your CPOR is vital to establishing a pricing floor — selling a room below CPOR results in a net operational loss.
