What's inside

9 tabs that work together

Log each reservation once and it works out nights, platform fee, payout and net revenue, and flags double-booked dates. The Pricing & Break-Even Calculator shows the nightly rate and nights you need to cover costs, and the Goal Planner turns a profit goal into nights and ADR targets.
