Pricing in the hotel and catering sector

A cost-markup model for the retail sector provides the starting point for developing a model to explain the gross margins in the hotel and catering sectors. The model treats average percentage gross margin as the sum of the average percentage operating costs less labor and a markup. The markup consi...

description A cost-markup model for the retail sector provides the starting point for developing a model to explain the gross margins in the hotel and catering sectors. The model treats average percentage gross margin as the sum of the average percentage operating costs less labor and a markup. The markup consists of 4 parts: 1. a minimal average reward for labor, 2. the influence of the nature of the product/service package, 3. the development of the market share, and 4. the growth of consumer spending. Dutch data for the period 1977-1981 are used to estimate the model empirically, with establishments divided into 3 types: 1. restaurants, lunchrooms, cafeterias, and snackbars, 2. cafes, bars, dance halls, and nightclubs, and 3. hotels. The enterprises are grouped by type of trade per year according to sales volume. The results indicate that the hypothesis of markup pricing in the hotel and catering sector must be rejected, but the model may be useful in studying influence on price-setting.
