When Ari visited his 77 year old father at his Bed and Breakfast in England, he could see that the competition was getting stronger and his father wasn’t getting his pricing quite right. The B&B he and his partner run was sometimes empty and sometimes booked up too early at too low a price.
Ari (picture on location), having spent 15 years creating trading algorithms for financial markets, knew he could build a solution that would increase their revenue. He set out to interview hoteliers in a similar position, find partners equally passionate about the independent hotel experience, and create a revenue management solution intended specifically for smaller hotels.
Ari’s father increased revenue by over $50,000 in the first year – not bad for 15 rooms.
RoomPriceGenie’s pricing solution was built on the feedback from some of the top revenue managers in the world, whilst never forgetting that our clients are people like Ari’s father.
Marvin spoke to literally hundreds of hotels, finding out their deepest problems. Jörg, sitting opposite him, put the earplugs in to block out Marvin’s chat and concentrated on using that feedback to create a product that you would love to use.
