CPOR vs. RevPAR: Which Metric Wins the Championship? In hotel revenue management, RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) often steals the spotlight. But here’s the truth: a full hotel doesn’t always mean a profitable hotel. The real MVP? CPOR (Cost Per Occupied Room) - CPOR reveals the true cost of servicing each occupied room - Small inefficiencies in CPOR—like unchecked labor costs or wasteful utilities—can wipe out revenue gains - A hotel with high RevPAR but an even higher CPOR isn’t winning—it’s just treading water Quick Formula: CPOR = Total Operating Costs / Number of Rooms Sold Real Talk: If your CPOR is too high, your hotel is leaving money on the table—no matter how high your RevPAR is. Smart hoteliers track both to make sure revenue growth actually leads to profit growth.

While many focus on RevPAR, the real champions track CPOR, Forecasting Accuracy, GOPPAR, and Flow-Through to maximize profitability. Want to know which metrics actually drive hotel success? Read the full breakdown here: https://hubs.li/Q03dkR9m0

Honored to Join Forces for AI Excellence! Last week, I had the privilege of participating in an extraordinary panel discussion on AI and Generative AI hosted by Women Leaders of Technology (WLOT). When Smita Doshi "asked" me to join, I quickly learned that in our household, "Would you like to be on the panel?" translates to "Your calendar has been cleared for Thursday!" ?? But truth be told, as a leader of the Atlanta Generative AI Meetup (https://lnkd.in/eEmfrsuW), these are exactly the kinds of conversations I'm passionate about driving forward anyway. The opportunity to help amplify women's voices in this quantum leap of technology was one I'd never pass up. The energy was electric as 70+ women leaders engaged in meaningful dialogue about AI's transformative potential. What struck me most was the perfect blend of seasoned professionals and young minds collaborating to shape tomorrow's technology landscape. Our panel explored critical themes: * How AI amplifies human capability rather than replacing it * How data is the fuel for AI and cybersecurity is a table-stake expectation * The absolute necessity of diverse perspectives in AI development * Balancing innovation with ethical responsibility * Inspiring the curiosity of young technologists ready to lead Special thanks to my fellow panelists Rajeev Kapur, Shiboo Varughese, and Amanda Cameron-Windsor for their wisdom and insights. The thoughtful questions on everything from mainframe modernization to data protection frameworks showed just how sophisticated this community's understanding of AI has become. Greatest lesson of the day: When diverse leaders gather to tackle technology's biggest challenges, the future looks incredibly bright. I'm honored to work alongside Women Leaders of Technology (WLOT) in helping build bridges between traditional tech communities and the brilliant women who are increasingly shaping our industry's future. Thank you to all the women leaders for building this powerful community. It was truly my honor to participate. #AI #WomenInTech #AILeadership #TechFuture #AtlantaAI #DiversityInTech
