Did you or how did you do revenue management before you switched to happyhotel?
No, we did not do revenue management before happyhotel.
What were the decision criteria for Happyhotel?
The main criterion for happyhotel was the dynamic daily price adjustment. This allows our company to work on a daily basis with the right prices, depending on market demand and other important factors.
How does Happyhotel make everyday life easier for you?
Happyhotel manages the price adjustment very reliably and automatically. In addition, the Pickup Report is concise and clear, giving me an overview of the most important key figures in a very short time.
Which feature do you like best?
Definitely the autopilot and the pickup report.
What does the dynamic pricing process look like for you NOW?
Pricing is now more time-saving and effective. We work almost exclusively with the dynamic prices that happyhotel gives us.
How has your average working day changed since the integration of happyhotel?
Since integrating happyhotel, we have been able to save a lot of time as prices are automatically adjusted and transmitted.
What do you like best about Happyhotel? Which function feels like saving you the most time?
The daily pickup report saves me the most time. It allows me to quickly get an overview of the current figures.
What are your personal tips for future users of happyhotel?
Just try out the dynamic price adjustment. In the beginning, this requires regular cross-checks, but in the long term, you save a huge amount of time and can look forward to additional sales.
What do you want for Happyhotel's future?
Continued good cooperation as well as continuous development and improvement.
Digitalization in the hotel industry — what should a hotelier start with?
You should ask yourself what guests expect from the house in the future, which models are well received by the competition, and whether there may be a few areas where work steps can be implemented directly digitally.
and convince yourself
Forget manual price adjustments. With happyhotel, you can maximize your income without constantly checking prices.
