GLOSSARY

PAX

Alternate Names: 

Pax is a term used to indicate the number of people included in a booking, reservation, or event. It provides a simple way for staff to record and communicate guest counts across different areas of a property, from rooms to restaurants to group activities.

Tracking pax is essential for planning and operations because it influences how rooms are assigned, how many meals need to be prepared, and how much staff is scheduled. By clearly defining the number of guests involved, pax helps properties streamline coordination, reduce errors, and ensure that services are delivered smoothly.
