A typical 30-room hotel saves 2 to 3 hours per day with Bistone HMS. Here's exactly where those hours come from.
Where the Time Goes
- Making a reservation: 5–10 minutes on paper or Excel → 1–2 minutes in Bistone. If you take 15 bookings a day, that's over an hour back.
- Guest check-in: 5 minutes looking up paperwork → 90 seconds. No more searching for the booking form.
- Check-out and invoice: 5–10 minutes of manual calculation → one click. No more math errors.
- Daily occupancy report: 30–40 minutes of counting rooms → under a minute. Real-time data, ready when you need it.
- Finding a past booking: 5–15 minutes flipping through old books → 10 seconds with a search box.
- Updating seasonal rates: 2 hours re-entering prices → 10 minutes with the rate plan tool. For Full Board hotels, this is even faster.
What That Adds Up To
For a 30-room hotel at 70% occupancy:
- About 2.5 hours saved per day
- About 900 hours saved per year
That's roughly the workload of a part-time employee — without the salary, benefits, or training.
The Benefits You Can't Put on a Timesheet
- Fewer double bookings and billing mistakes
- Calmer staff during high season
- Guests get checked in faster — and they notice
- You see problems before they cost you money
