Did you or how did you do revenue management before you switched to happyhotel?
Before we used happyhotel, I manually transferred the prices to our PMS using self-created Excel tables. We did not have a flexible pricing system, but worked with seasonal tables and were often forced to adjust prices spontaneously based on experiences from last year or changes in guests' booking behavior.
happyhotel calculates prices for us based on so many exciting factors that we now have a solid basis for being able to decide on the optimal price for the day in question.
💪🏼 Why did you choose happyhotel?
The offer, competitor analysis, and ease of use make it easy.
💙 What do you like best about happyhotel? Which function feels like saving you the most time?
It is super easy and quick to accept the suggested installments, or even let them run on autopilot.
Prices for the next year do not have to be laboriously entered in the PMS and constantly updated.
and convince yourself
Forget manual price adjustments. With happyhotel, you can maximize your income without constantly checking prices.
