BAR

Also known as: Best Available Rate

Best Available Rate — the public, refundable, non-discounted rate for a standard room. Anchor for all other rate plans.

BAR (Best Available Rate) is the public, refundable, non-discounted rate for a standard room. Every other rate (corporate, package, loyalty, advance-purchase, dynamic adjustment) sits relative to BAR.

BAR should never drop below your minimum acceptable rate: variable cost per occupied room + fixed-cost contribution + channel cost. That floor is your business survival rate.
