What is Yield?

In the restaurant business, yield management is the strategic process of maximizing income, especially during peak and off-peak hours.

By managing price, inventory, and capacity. This involves managing bookings, offering special rates or discount offers. Increasing or decreasing prices based on demand, which means that the restaurant gets the maximum revenue possible from the available capacity.

The term 'yield management' is often used in a business with fixed capacity, such as a hotel or restaurant.
