Picture a small hotel with a restaurant: excellent reviews, loyal guests, but a website without a working "Book" button. Requests come in by phone, email and WhatsApp, and someone has to manage by hand a calendar that changes every hour.
The result is a paradox: at peak times the phone is busy, and people looking for a last-minute table book elsewhere. Meanwhile the booking portals take a commission on every room sold, even from guests who would happily have booked through the site.
Sound familiar?- Bookings come in only by phone, email or WhatsApp.
- You pay commissions to booking portals even for guests who already know your property.
- The menu on the site is out of date because updating it is complicated.
- On Google your property appears after the booking portals, even when people search its name.
