The challenge

Haven ran 62 beds across dormitory and private rooms. Nearly all reservations came through OTAs — Booking.com took 18–22% per reservation, Hostelworld took another 15% on top. The front desk was spending four hours a day on manual check-ins from printed sheets. There was no occupancy view across room types in real time.

How ServicesGrid OS helped

ServicesGrid OS's accommodation module gave Haven a live occupancy grid by room type, a public direct-booking URL, and a staff check-in workflow connected to reservation details. The payments module tracked booking payment records alongside stay operations.

The result

Direct bookings grew from 9% to 38% of total reservations within three months, driven by a 10% discount on the direct channel. The front desk check-in time dropped to an average of 4 minutes from around 18 minutes. The owner calculated the commission savings offset ServicesGrid OS's fee by a factor of seven.
