A hospitality operator running short-stay properties, doing the bookings herself.
What was wrong
Empty nights are money that never comes back. So is a full night sold too cheap. Watching both, all day, every day, is a job on its own, and she already had one.
What we found
Nothing was broken. Enquiries arrived faster than one person could answer them, and prices were set once and left alone while the market moved underneath them.
What we built
- One agent that handles the booking conversation
- A price watch on what comparable places are charging that night
- A read on demand, so a busy weekend gets charged like one
- A handover to her the moment anything looks unusual
It plugs into the tools she already had. Nothing was replaced and nothing new had to be learned.
What changed
She ran at 92% occupancy while the market around her sat at 67%, and the nights that did sell sold for what they were worth. In the first twelve days on the new setup she booked A$26,915.
What she owns now
The agent, in her accounts, in her name. It keeps running whether we are involved or not.
