Every OTA booking costs you 15–18%. We move your property onto your own direct-booking page — your name, your colors, your bank account — and run the ads that fill it. You keep the commission, the guest list, and the keys.
The OTAs send you guests, take 15–18% of every booking, and keep the guest relationship. Raise your rates to cover it and you drop in their rankings. The guest thinks they booked with Expedia — because they did.

Real availability, your rooms, your rates, your policies — on your domain, in your colors. Guests book in one scroll.
Guests pay you directly — full payment, deposit, or card held for arrival. We never hold funds. Ever.
Every guest record is yours, exportable in one click. Repeat guests book direct next time — and the OTA gets nothing.
Optional Managed Growth: we run your Google and Meta ads and report monthly. The headline: commission you didn't pay.
We set up your booking page with your rooms, rates and policies, connected to your own Stripe. Tested end to end before launch. Fixed price, fixed date — about two weeks.
A monthly subscription covers the software, hosting and support. Your guest list, payments and reports are yours. Cancel any time and take every record with you.
Optional Managed Growth. We run the ads, watch the numbers, adjust rates seasonally, and meet you monthly. Every report leads with commission you didn't pay.

Get my numberNo. Most properties keep the OTAs as one channel. The goal is to shift more bookings direct — especially repeat guests — so the commission stays with you.
Your direct page shows your real rate. What you list on the OTAs is your decision — we'll talk through what has worked for other independent properties on the first call.
You do. Guests pay your own Stripe account — full payment, deposit, or a card held for arrival. We never hold funds.
No. Seasonal properties drop to $59/mo while dark. Your page stays live, selling gift certificates and next season's advance bookings, and wakes up with you in spring.
Yes. Restaurant or bar, RV sites, and other promoted amenities are add-ons at +$95/mo each, capped at +$285/mo. The OTA can never sell your restaurant — your own page can.
About two weeks from kickoff to a tested, live booking page. Fixed price, fixed date, agreed in writing before we start.
The Continental is the system — bookings, payments, guest list, housekeeping and reports in one place, built for a single independent property. If you're tied to an existing PMS, tell us on the first call and we'll tell you plainly whether switching makes sense for you.
There is no live two-way OTA sync today — most properties keep the OTAs as one discovery channel and we plan the allocation split together on the first call. Your direct page always shows real availability, and double-booking is blocked at confirm time: availability is re-checked immediately before every booking is written.
We load your upcoming reservations during onboarding so nothing is lost in the switch. Refunds only ever return money actually captured, tax rates are snapshotted per booking so past stays don't change when rates do, and every report downloads as CSV for your accountant.
Confirmations and reminders are queued and tracked in the system, sent under your property's name — sending is wired up during onboarding. Hosting, updates and support are part of the subscription, and when something breaks you message Ben directly, not a ticket queue.
No pitch deck, no pressure. We look at your business, run the savings math against your situation, and send you a straight answer. If the math doesn't work for you, we'll say so.
