The Challenge

Manual Printed Guidebooks

Ready Set Stay was manually printing guest guidebooks and physically delivering them to each of their 126 properties. This was extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Tedious Updates

Whenever any information needed to be changed, they had to reprint pages and physically replace them at each property. This made keeping information current a constant challenge.

"We wanted to streamline everything to be electronic and online and take the manual side away from it all."

The Solution

BetterSTR Digital Guidebooks

BetterSTR assisted Ready Set Stay with streamlining their entire guest communication process by transitioning from hard copy guidebooks to a fully electronic solution.

Key Features Used:

  • Complete Electronic Guidebook - All property information available digitally for guests
  • Auto-Sync with Hospitable - Seamless integration with their channel manager pulled listing details automatically
  • WiFi Details Sync - WiFi credentials automatically populated from listings
  • Bed Configuration Display - Room and bed details pulled directly from listing data
  • Automated Guest Messaging - Guidebook links embedded in automated guest communications

Implementation

Setting up 126 properties took dedicated effort due to guidebook setup, locations, and configuration. However, the process was straightforward with clear instructions provided.


Result: Once complete, they embedded the guidebook link into automated guest messages and started seeing results immediately.

Powered by Hospitable
