Pacer delivers 10-25% Year-1 RevPAR lift via pricing optimization and distribution.
Our first-year clients ran +18% pooled same-store Adj. RevPAR (12-24 months on Pacer, KeyData methodology).
Net new units you expect to add per month. Compounds over the year.
The four options every operator weighs
Same portfolio, four ways to run revenue management. Net to you = your commission cut of the lift, minus what the option costs. Status quo sits at zero by definition.
| Option | Net to you |
|---|---|
Status quo No revenue management | $0 |
In-house RM hire $117K/yr fully loaded · assumes 7% lift (one person, no bench, ramp time) | -$43K |
Generic RM software $20/unit/mo · assumes 3% lift (tool without a driver) | +$6.3K |
Pacer Full stack · 15% lift, $73K fee | +$85.6K |
"Extra commission you earn" is your commission % cut of the gross revenue lift. "Cost" is the full fee you pay. "Net to you" is the first minus the second. All four options run on the same portfolio and the same unit growth, so the comparison is purely lift versus cost. The consultant and software assumptions are stated inline; challenge them on a call and we will change them live.
What if we deliver more, or less?
Your slider scenario in the middle, bracketed by Pacer's published floor and first-year track record. First-year client cohort (12-24 months on Pacer) lands between the expected and aggressive scenarios at +18% pooled same-store Adj. RevPAR.
The compounding case
Year 1 carries the biggest optimization wins; years 2 and 3 hold most of that lift while your book keeps compounding. The taper is deliberately conservative: clients 12-24 months in actually run +18% pooled same-store, above what we assume here.
The in-house hire you don't have to make.
Pacer doesn't replace your PMS, your pricing tool, or your channel managers. Those stay yours. What we do replace is the senior revenue role you'd otherwise have to hire and the analyst work that role produces.
| What Pacer covers | In-house equivalent |
|---|---|
| The in-house RM hire you avoid $96K base salary + $21K benefits and payroll taxes (~22% load), the same $117K used in the four-options comparison above | $117K/yr |
| True effective ROI ($85.6K upside + $117K replaced cost) ÷ $72.9K Pacer fee | 2.8x |
What if Pacer underdelivers?
Three downside scenarios for your year-1 lift, at the full year's fee. Every number is your net versus doing nothing, with your own unit growth stripped out.
| Scenario | Lift | Year-1 net to youfull fee paid |
|---|---|---|
| Severe underperform | 4.0% | -$23.7K |
| Mild underperform | 8.0% | $16.1K |
| Expected | 15.0% | $85.6K |
How each cell computes: your commission cut of that row's lift, minus Pacer's fee on the year's revenue. Severe and mild assume we deliver only 4% or 8%; Expected tracks your lift slider above.
