Understanding GOPPAR

Real-world scenario: A typical GOPPAR case uses gross operating profit 40000 and rooms available 200. Enter the same figures below to reproduce the worked path.
What is GOPPAR?
A profit productivity KPI complementary to RevPAR. Distinct from ADR and from simple tip or margin calculators on the Business hub.
- GOP = per Uniform System / brand P&L
- Rooms available matches RevPAR denominator
- Period aligned to financial close
The Formula
Worked Example
Common Use Cases
- Owner reports: profit per room
- Asset reviews: GOPPAR vs RevPAR
- Budget vs actual: profit productivity
Pro Tips
- Freeze GOP definition (USALI)
- Don’t use rooms sold as denominator
- Pair with RevPAR for revenue vs profit
Limitations: GOPPAR results are educational hotel and restaurant planning aids—not accounting, tax, or franchise reporting advice. Confirm definitions with your PMS, POS, and brand standards.
