In Booking Ninjas, Occupancy means the extent to which available units, spaces, or capacity are being used over a period.
Occupancy needs a clear definition because it can be measured in different ways. It may refer to occupied rooms, beds, desks, spaces, or people compared with available units or allowed capacity over a defined time.
What Does Occupancy Mean in Practice?
Occupancy can be shown as a current count, a percentage, or a period-based measure. For example, a property may compare occupied rooms with rooms available for sale, while a venue may compare people present with the allowed capacity.
Why Does Occupancy Matter?
Occupancy helps teams understand utilization, availability, and pressure on capacity. It should be kept separate from capacity itself: capacity is the limit, while occupancy is how much of that limit is in use or counted as occupied.
How Can Occupancy Connect to Other Records?
Occupancy can be calculated from bookings, check-ins, access events, assigned units, spaces, capacity rules, and time periods. The records used should match the occupancy definition shown in the report or dashboard.
