A professional website and a phone-friendly owner portal — with reviews, online booking, and analytics available as add-ons, so you only pay for what your business actually needs.
Booking sites, delivery apps, marketplaces, even social platforms — however customers reach you through someone else's platform, a cut of that relationship (and often the sale) goes to them first.
A modest starting commission rarely stays modest — featured placement, payment processing, and pay-to-play visibility all add on top.
An algorithm change, a new fee, or a policy update can hurt your visibility overnight — and there's nothing you can do about it.
No email, no purchase history, no direct relationship — the platform keeps that, and rents it back to you next time.
Commission ranges are illustrative and vary by platform and industry.
A customer-facing website, and an owner-facing portal that runs your business day to day. Reviews, online booking, and analytics are all add-ons — turn on only what fits.
Tell us what kind of business you run, and your site and owner portal are set up around the right kind of booking — not a one-size-fits-all calendar.
Rooms booked by the night, with real-time availability, nightly or weekday/weekend pricing, and guest self-service.
Tables booked by date and time, with a party-size-aware seating window — the same direct-booking engine, tuned for service, not stays.
Run both? Room bookings and table reservations stay in their own separate lists in your owner portal — one account, two clean workflows, never mixed together.
Guides, consultants, freelancers — list your services with duration and price, and let people book an appointment directly with you.
If your business runs on appointments, it fits. Tell us what you do and we'll set your booking flow up around it.
For hotels, restaurants, salons, and anyone who takes reservations — an illustrative $100 booking, taken two different ways.
Source: hospitality-industry research (Nilead / HeadsOnPillows) used as an illustrative benchmark — the same platform-cut-vs-owned-channel dynamic applies to any business that takes reservations. We'll work through your real numbers together.
A great stay only sells your next booking if someone can actually see it. Reviews put that proof on your own homepage, instead of buried on a platform you don't control.
Rooms & Tables Showcase (for hotels, restaurants and bars) and Services Showcase (for independent pros, spas and salons) don't need the booking engine turned on at all — real photos and real prices, standing on their own.
Along with Reviews and Showcase above, these round out the set — each one plugs into the same free website and owner portal.
Real-time availability, the booking engine, and guest self-service — look up, cancel, or reschedule without calling you. Rooms, tables, or appointments, whichever fits.
A lead-capture contact form for requests that aren't quite a booking — every submission lands right in your owner portal, not lost in an inbox.
A standalone catalog of what you sell — name, price, description and photos. Built for a restaurant or bar menu, but works for any flat list of products.
Revenue, trends and booking-pace dashboards — on every site at no charge, so you can see exactly what going direct is saving you.
Built as a gift. No cost, no risk, nothing to lose.
Reviews, online booking, a showcase — choose whichever fits your business, and turn it on whenever you're ready. No minimum, cancel anytime. (Analytics is included free from day one.)
Swap or add more any time after that, and lean less over time on platforms that take a cut.
Keep every platform you're already on — Instagram, a marketplace, a booking site, whatever you use today. This simply adds a channel you own. Nothing that already works has to change.
The website and owner portal are free — and they stay free. You only pay for the add-ons you choose, and you can turn any of them on or off anytime. No setup fees, no contracts, no lock-in.
Customer reviews on your homepage, QR/email review collection, and an owner approval queue.
The reservation engine and customer self-service — manage, cancel or reschedule. Rooms, tables, or appointments, whichever fits your business.
A standalone photo gallery of what you're booking out — rooms for a hotel, tables for a restaurant or bar — with prices and amenities. Sells on its own, no booking engine required.
The same idea, for what you offer instead of a room — a photo gallery of your services with duration and price. For independent pros, small teams, spas and salons.
A simple contact form for requests that aren't quite a booking — every submission lands in your owner portal.
A standalone catalog of what you sell — name, price, description and photos. Built for a menu, but works for any flat product list.
Run your own sub-clients from your own owner portal — your own "+ Add client" flow and client list, scoped to just the accounts you create. For agencies, resellers, or anyone managing sites on behalf of others.
A shared planning calendar for your team — meetings, tasks, maintenance and time off — that also knows your bookings and can block off availability. Subscribe from Google, Apple or Outlook.
Revenue, trends and booking-pace dashboards — included with every site, no charge. See exactly what booking direct saves you versus the commission platforms.
No setup fees, no contracts, no lock-in — turn any module on or off any time. Stats & Analytics is included free with every site. A hotel might turn on Reviews, Online Booking and Rooms & Tables Showcase; an independent pro might pair Online Booking with Services Showcase.
These are the add-ons we pre-select for you at signup, matched to what you do — bundled below the price of turning each one on by itself. Tell us which fits and it's applied to your monthly rate, nothing to configure yourself.
For hotels, restaurants, and properties that run both — everything to take direct bookings, collect reviews, and plan the week from one place.
Everything in the hospitality bundle, plus a Product List to put your drinks and food menu online.
For guides, consultants, small teams and studios — showcase and book your services, and run your own sub-clients from one portal.
No — pick only what fits. A boutique might just want Reviews. A restaurant might want Reviews and Online Booking. A hotel typically wants most of them. Running a hotel and a restaurant together? Online Booking covers both, with room bookings and table reservations kept separate in your owner portal.
Yes — three bundles are available, each priced lower than buying the same add-ons separately (see Pricing above). Just mention which one fits when we set up your account.
It still fits. Tour guides, consultants, spas, small teams — anyone who takes bookings by appointment gets the same direct-booking engine, set up around services instead of rooms or tables.
No. Keep every platform you're already on — Instagram, a marketplace, a booking site, whatever it is — this simply adds a channel you own.
Yes — the website and owner portal are built and delivered at no cost, and they stay free. You only pay for the add-ons you choose, and there's no minimum and no lock-in — turn any of them off anytime. Stats & Analytics is included free too.
Typically 2–4 weeks for the initial website, built around your photos and your story.
The owner portal is built mobile-first: a search bar, one-tap confirm/cancel, and a stats view that reads like a simple report.
In plain files you own, backed up by copying a folder — no dependency on a third-party database.
Every screen here — the guest booking flow, the owner portal, even this page — was designed by Erik, a user experience designer with 15 years in the field. That's the difference between software that technically works and a portal you can actually run your business from, one-handed, from your phone.
Fifteen years of watching real people get stuck on real interfaces went into every decision here: what shows up on the Dashboard the moment you log in, how a confirm/cancel fits under a thumb, what a non-technical owner needs to see first and what can wait.
A coffee, a call, whatever's easiest. Tell us about your business and we'll get back to you — no pressure, no obligation.
