Price recommendations
One alert a day with the night that moves the price most, and a screen where you accept it with one tap — and undo it just as fast.
What it solves
Reviewing prices night by night is a daily job nobody has time to do daily. And when a screen exists that says it, it gets opened the first week and never again. Data is no use if you have to go looking for it.
You notice it in things like these
- The Friday of a long weekend sells at the same price as a Tuesday in February.
- The price goes up once everything is sold, which is when it no longer helps.
How it works
One alert a day, not thirty
From nine in the morning hotel time, you get the pending recommendation that moves the price most over the next two weeks. Just one: thirty price alerts a day get muted, and a muted alert no longer tells you about the booking that did matter.
Only to whoever decides the price
It goes to administration and management. The front desk and housekeeping do not get price alerts, because an alert that is not for you is what teaches people to ignore alerts.
Tapping it opens that night
The screen opens with that night at the top, with its reasoning written out — where the area median comes from, whether it was capped, where the floor comes from — and with how it is selling: how many rooms and what came in over the last seven days. If the recommendation is no longer current, it says so and shows today's.
Accepting moves the whole parent rate
One night, the selected ones, or a range. And it moves the entire parent rate by the same proportion: if the Double goes up 20%, the Suite goes up 20%. It travels the same path as a calendar change, with each cell's previous value stored so it can be undone, and with the notice to the agencies. The price is recalculated by the system: it never writes the number the browser sent.
Ignoring is remembered
Until the recommendation changes its number. What you already said no to does not come back the next day in the same form. And every decision — accepted, ignored or automatic — is recorded with who, how much, and what changed in the calendar.
Autopilot, with a handbrake
It only switches on with a declared minimum and maximum for the reference room. It runs once a day, reaches as many days ahead as you set, moves each night by at most a set percentage per day, and by default only goes up. If somebody removes the limits, it stops moving prices: it does not keep running without brakes.
Where it lives in the panel
- Rooms & rates
- Rates
- Price recommendations
The screen lives under Rates, next to the revenue cockpit; what arrives in the browser is the daily alert that opens it on the night it is about.
What it needs first
Base prices loaded: the recommendation moves the parent rate, it does not invent one.
Base priceBrowser alerts switched on, if you want the recommendation to come and find you rather than the other way round.

What it does not do yet
The limits, told by us
- It is one alert a day per hotel, not the full list of everything that would change. The whole list is on the screen, whenever you want to sit down with it.
- Autopilot will not switch on without a declared minimum and maximum, and by default it only raises: lowering prices is only automated deliberately.
