Min-Stay Tuner

A blanket three-night minimum is wrong in most markets. Joshua Tree books 2.9 nights, NYC books 10.5. Min-Stay Tuner calibrates your minimums and last-minute discounts to how each market actually books, tiers the relaxation as check-in approaches, and shows you the nights you are quietly blocking and what unblocking them is worth.

How to use this template

  1. Hire the template in your Sidekicks dashboard
  2. Connect your PMS, AirROI, and PriceLabs
  3. Let it read your realized lead time and length of stay
  4. Go live in draft, no rule changes without your approval

What this does

  • Reads each market's real lead time and length of stay, not a one-size rule across your whole portfolio
  • Tiers the minimum down as check-in approaches, from the market median far out to a single night inside a week
  • Layers in the last-minute discounts that market actually needs, and holds full price on holidays and events
  • Flags the far-future minimum that is blocking bookings the market would happily accept
  • Projects the nights unblocked and the annual revenue delta per listing

Saves

  • The bookings a blanket minimum quietly blocks, unblocked to the tune of thousands a listing a year
  • The per-market min-stay tuning you would never sit down and do by hand
