What is a rate plan?
Rate plan is a package composed of various rooms and products.
In other words, one rate plan is a composition of a base rate of the room, price surcharge/discount, conditions, restrictions or products.
Here's a list of typical examples of rate plans.
- The most common ones are Room Only and Breakfast Included.
- Depending on the additional products or packages, a plan can vary.
(Eg. room + spa package, room + wine + barbecue package)
ONDA Wave is constantly upgrading to make the rate plans flexible according to the needs of our partners and customers.
⚠️ If you want to increase or decrease the rates by the particular period,
such as weekend fee, season fee, holiday fee, please use Rate Adjustment menu
rather than Rate Plan Setting menu. 👉shortcut to the guide for Rate Adjustment menu
