š Is Your Tech Stack Costing You Money?
Most hosts have “accidental” tech stacksāa mix of apps that don’t talk to each other. Use this checklist to see if you are a Technical Host or a Manual Operator.
1. The “Zero-Touch” Messaging Test
- Do guests receive check-in instructions automatically without you touching a button?
- Does your system detect “late checkout” requests and answer them based on your calendar availability?
2. The Hardware-Software Bridge
- Does your Smart Lock generate a unique code for every guest automatically?
- Does that code deactivate exactly at 11:00 AM on checkout day?
3. The Yield Intelligence
- Is your pricing updating at least 4 times a day based on local events and hotel supply?
- Are you undercutting your own profit by using “Static” weekend pricing?
š Your Score:
- 0-2 Checks: You are a Manual Operator. You are likely losing 10-15 hours a week on “busy work.”
- 3-5 Checks: You are an Emerging Tech Host. Your systems are working, but they aren’t “talking” to each other.
- 6+ Checks: You are a Technical Host. Your business is a scalable asset.
