  2. Last-minute pricing: when to discount and when to hold

    An automatic last-minute discount can fill a slow night. Applied everywhere, it also trains guests to wait.

  3. Event pricing: plan the spike before the calendar fills

    By the time an event shows up in your pickup data, the guests who booked earliest have already secured the best rates.

  4. Override governance: keeping PriceLabs aligned with strategy

    Every manual override made sense on the day it was set. Months later, dozens of forgotten overrides can quietly replace your pricing strategy.
