The Problem

BED & BREAKFAST INNS
KEEP LOSING GUESTS

You're losing bookings every day your rooms sit empty. Travelers call at midnight, no-shows waste your time, and you can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

A couple finds your inn at 10 PM while planning their anniversary trip, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another inn that answered.

The Cost
$3,200/month
Lost per empty room

You're Drowning in Calls

While you're serving breakfast, three more calls come in. Booking inquiries, special requests, local recommendations—you can't be everywhere at once. Guests get frustrated waiting, and you lose reservations.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per innkeeper

Guests No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You hold the room, prepare everything, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty room.
