Gîte
The planning, changeover day, the messages and the tourist tax in one place, whether guests come through Airbnb, Abritel, by phone or direct.
The planning
One line per gîte, one bar per stay, one colour per way of booking. Direct, Airbnb, Abritel or phone. In July and August, they are rented by the week, Saturday to Saturday. A stay opens up: who, how many nights, the deposit and the balance, the security deposit, the tourist tax, the police registration form. The tool refuses to rent a gîte twice for the same nights.
You follow everything in the app, on the computer or the phone.
Changeover day
The departures with the inspection and the tax to collect, the cleaning to do before the next guests, the arrivals with the welcome basket, the security deposit received at the key handover and returned after departure. Deposits that are dragging stay at the top of the screen. For a foreign guest, the police registration form. He fills it in on his phone, you have him sign it at the key handover.
The guest fills in his form on a web page. You sign in the app.
The calendars
Each gîte has a real calendar address. You paste it into Airbnb or Abritel, which read it again and block the nights already taken. Only the nights, with no name or amount. Nothing is read from Airbnb.
It is not a direct connection. The platforms read the address again from time to time.
The tourist tax
The tool adds up the tax collected on your direct stays since the last payment, at your town's rate which you enter, and reminds you of the deadline. It calculates, you file the declaration.
The rate is set to your town's.
Messages
A guest writes on WhatsApp or by email, in French, English or Dutch. The assistant answers in his language with your gîtes that are really free and their price, answers questions about access and parking, and books. The stay lands in the planning, with the deposit link. You take over whenever you want. It goes quiet as soon as you write.
WhatsApp and email.
Direct booking
The guest picks his dates, sees the free gîtes with their price and pays a deposit. He gets the page for his stay with the access, the key box code and the welcome booklet. The wifi, the bins, the pool, the security deposit.
The guest uses a web page.
What your year says
The tool reads your year of stays and tells you plainly. The families who come every summer and haven't booked yet, the weeks rented in winter, the two-night gaps nobody takes, what short stays cost in cleaning, what the platforms kept. With the message ready to send.
The figures are worked out from your planning.
Who to bring in
For the empty weeks, the tool suggests a type of guest, why now, the note to send and the ad to post. Teams on assignment at a big building site, remote workers, trainees from the village workshops, hiking groups in spring and autumn. You write to the company, never to its employees. School holidays come from the official calendar, the places and events are examples.
You read, you edit, you send. Nothing goes out without you, and the tool promises no result.
The assistant
Between two cleanings, you ask who arrives tonight, when the cleaner comes, which security deposits are still to return or which gîte is free on Saturday. It answers with your data. It books and cancels nothing for you.
In the app, on the computer or the phone.
Write to me on WhatsApp with how you rent out your gîtes. I reply within 24 hours.
