The Problem
You're running bookings through one system, staff schedules on another, and tracking revenue in spreadsheets. Nothing talks to each other. You're spending more time on admin than guests.
How I Can Help
I build custom software that connects your operations. One system for bookings, staff, and reporting. Built specifically for how your business actually works, not generic solutions.

FAQ
What does custom hospitality software cost?
Simple booking systems start around $8,000. Complex multi-venue operations with staff management and reporting typically run $15,000-25,000. Fixed price, no monthly fees unless you want ongoing changes.
How long does it take to build hospitality software?
Timing depends on the smallest useful outcome and the workflow details that need to be handled safely. We first agree the scope, then provide a clear delivery plan before development starts.
Can you integrate with our existing POS system?
Most modern POS systems have APIs I can connect to. Square, Lightspeed, and MYOB work well. I'll check your specific system and let you know what's possible.
Do you understand hospitality compliance requirements?
I research the specific regulations for your type of venue during the build. I don't claim to be a compliance expert, but I build systems that make compliance reporting easier.
What if I need changes after the software is finished?
I charge $120/hour for modifications after delivery. Most clients need small tweaks in the first month as they use the system. Bigger feature additions I quote separately.
