    These days, many guests are used to ordering stuff online with no human interaction. They expect the same for booking their vacations - they want to be able to just fill out a form, provide their credit card, click OK a few times, and bam! They're booked.

    Some property owners want more personal interaction with their guests, though, and do not want to allow Instant Booking. Let's see how you can cont...

    Last week, we mostly worked on major updates that aren't quite finished - long term stuff - but there were a few things that went out, so let's take a second to go over them...

    Give that a little click, and bam - up pops a quick quote box witha bunch of stuff prefilled for you including the rates and any rules or warnings that might prevent the guest from booking.

    You can edit the quick quote and instantly see the rate and rules change.

    Also in this release, a number of email changes were made that will be explained later by Sam. If you click on the Email menu, you'll see the new stuff. We went ahead and released the email changes as well since they were ready to go out.

    That is why I suggested that support link. It will lead you to a lot of stuff including things you might not have considered.

    I would suggest you not to swallow around one Topic at a time. You should consider going through the following link topic by topic. You might not need the quote stuff.

    Otherwise you might encounter a dozen other things you cannot do or might miss out on.

    There is also a search area on top that might help.

Losing a few (thousand, hundred thousand, or million) bucks (on preventable stuff) here or there is OK for them, but not for the individual owners. So apples and oranges, an inapplicable example of a "playbook" to use. I prefer to keep myself happy 1st, then the guests, which mean...

    ...They get 150/month per property flat regardless of cleaning for doing the above. The better cleaners value this position. They have 3 or 4 properties on the same street so they can group the above stuff together - easy money. Most of them are married and both husband and wife and maybe a grown child or two helps as part of the "team" so one person isn't doing it all all the time.

    The other change to my technique is that I set aside a time to work on my OR stuff (I have a real job), I open an email and as I go through my project I type up all my questions and when I am done for the evening, I send the email and know I will likely have my answers within 24 ho...

    All logical and stuff from a computers point of view, but it doesn't make much sense in the real world.

    Glad to see the portal feature.  That's been an issue with my business partners who were used to looking at pricing and occupancy on our previous system (while not having the ability to mess stuff up).  Looking forward to the granular access and read only features for them and the Staff/Cleaner function.  Would be great to have a report/portal access that says "Property A guests stay from B to C with D...

    @Chris: You're right about certain things like push notifications or camera integration (for cleaning checklists) though camera stuff can actually be done with regular web app. To bridge the gap on push notifications, we've kicked around the idea of having System Alerts go from email to text (or both) so that you get a text message instantly for certain things. That would help and make it so we didn'...
