PLUS, FOR YOUR INDUSTRY

What you can add to the website

These are extras. With them, your guest history stops living inside a platform that isn't yours.

01

CRM

Each guest with their full history, which is exactly what the middleman doesn't give you.

02

Your customer data, organized

Guests from every channel merged by person, not by booking.

03

Your own newsletter

Your own list to fill the low season by writing to people who have already stayed with you, with no commission in between.

04

Chatbot that answers and qualifies

It handles inquiries in several languages and at any hour, which is when a European's inquiry comes in.

03

THE SIDEWALK

What happens when there's no one at the front desk

A boutique hotel or a villa lives with a silent partner. The middleman takes a cut of almost every booking and, worse, keeps the guest's contact information. The next year you pay again for the same guest.

An inquiry that comes in at eleven at night waits until morning.

BACK OF HOUSE

All of this happens when no one is watching.

It's the work no website in this industry shows a single photo of. And it's exactly where the data gets lost: on the night shift, in the daily list, in the housekeeping room and at closing.

THE FRONT DESK

What we review, door by door

We come in for a specific problem and look at the whole operation. Often what pays off most isn't what the owner came looking for, and saying so is part of the job.

01

BOOKINGS

What share of your occupancy pays commission and what happens with direct inquiries.

02

OPERATIONS

Check-in, coordination and everything the front desk does twice.

03

DATA

Who has stayed before and whether that list exists outside the platform.

04

MARKETING

The website, the photos, the reviews and the B2B channel for agencies and planners.

05

GUEST SERVICE

The inquiry that comes in at three in the morning from another time zone.

06

TEAM

What the front desk could handle with better tools.

07

SOFTWARE

PMS, booking engine, channel manager and what doesn't talk to what.

THE NIGHT BELL

Four stages, always in this order

01

We audit

We look at how the property works today, area by area. Not impressions: data.

02

We optimize

The process gets sorted out before it's automated. Automating something bad makes it faster, not better.

03

We automate

Only what makes sense for your operation, not what's trendy.

04

We train

Your team ends up knowing how to run it. Otherwise, in three months nobody uses it.

CHECKOUT

After the foundation

Examples of what can be put in place once the foundation is there. What fits your property comes out of the Audit.

Stay Link

One link per booking: check-in, WiFi, house information, concierge, transportation, experiences and how to report a problem.

Guest Revenue

Extra services offered at the right time to the right guest: transfers, a private chef, spa, boat, experiences.

Partner Engine

Travel agencies, wedding planners, concierges and event organizers as a channel of your own, with follow-up.

THE ROOM

First we look. Then we decide.

  • Guided questionnaire, 15 to 25 minutes
  • All seven areas, plus what's specific to your industry
  • A map of what's worth doing now and later
  • A person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Written proposal and online payment, no calls

Whatever it costs to put in place shows up on the map, with the scope of each item next to it.

THE FRONT DESK

What people usually ask

Without the booking platforms I can't fill up.

Agreed, and we're not suggesting you leave them. We're suggesting that the inquiries already coming to you directly don't get lost.

I already have a booking engine.

Perfect, it gets connected. The problem isn't the engine: it's what happens before, on WhatsApp.

I don't want to bother my guests.

Neither do we. That's why we offer little, at the right moment, and measure whether it bothers anyone.

My front desk already answers.

Yes, during business hours. A European's inquiry comes in at three in the morning.

If there's nothing worth doing, we tell you

Free: a 15 to 25 minute questionnaire and the map of your operation. If the Audit finds nothing worth implementing, the map is still yours. If you have questions about the map, write to us on WhatsApp or Instagram: the proposal arrives in writing and is paid online, no calls.
