Your rates flex with demand. Your roster should too.
HotelCadence is workforce software for hotels, the labor layer beside Duetto, your revenue layer. It reads the bookings already in your property system, the same ones Duetto prices against, forecasts how busy each department will be hour by hour and drafts rosters your managers approve. Hotels cut 6–12% of labor cost while guest service holds. Nothing touches your rates or Duetto.

Duetto, revenue management system · vendor website: duettocloud.com ↗
Singapore, 250 rooms: rates moved daily, the roster never did
A revenue-managed city hotel swung between 62% and 94% occupancy inside ten days, which is what good revenue management produces. Rates repriced daily; the front office stayed rostered at eight, overstaffed on the soft days its own revenue system had discounted and queued on the peaks it had filled. The arrival counts were in the property system the whole time.

Duetto + HotelCadence questions, answered
Is HotelCadence a revenue management system like Duetto?
No. Duetto is a revenue management system that prices demand: rates, restrictions, distribution. HotelCadence is workforce software that staffs demand: hourly forecasts per department and draft rosters. They read the same bookings and optimize different lines of the P&L.
Does HotelCadence connect to Duetto directly?
The standard connection is to your property system, and it only reads, because that is the system both products depend on. Duetto offers an open connection, and we agree with you before any commitment whether to add Duetto demand signals to the labor forecast.
Will draft rosters conflict with our revenue strategy?
They follow it. When Duetto-priced demand fills a shoulder night, the roster flexes up with the occupancy; when demand softens, labor is the largest controllable cost that can flex down. Rates and rosters move on the same signal.
Does HotelCadence touch rates, inventory or anything Duetto manages?
No. HotelCadence only reads from your property system and never sets or suggests a rate. Forecasts and draft rosters live in HotelCadence, where your managers review and approve them.
We already optimized revenue, how much is really left in labor?
Labor runs 32.4% of hotel revenue (CBRE, US benchmark) and demand-matched scheduling recovers 6-12% of it: for a 250-room property, about US$2,000-4,000 a week. Revenue-optimized hotels often have the widest gap, because a flat roster cannot follow the occupancy swings the revenue system creates.
Which PMS platforms does this work with?
Oracle OPERA Cloud, Mews, Cloudbeds, Shiji Enterprise Platform, Amadeus and RoomNexa, with others confirmed before you commit. Groups running several property systems roll up into one view with one measurement method; see all property system integrations.
