Group Code

A reservation code that ties multiple bookings to a single event, contract, or room block.

A group code (or group block) is a single identifier in the PMS that ties multiple individual reservations to a contracted event: a wedding, a conference, a sports team booking. Group codes carry shared inventory, rate, and billing rules. Independent boutiques run group blocks manually in most cases; larger PMSes (Mews, Cloudbeds, Opera) automate group billing and cutoff dates.
