Comparing digital concierge pricing — occupancy vs idle seats
Flat per-device or per-room months charge for empty inventory. Here is how €0.25 per occupied room per day, capped at €7, lines up with how hotels actually sell nights.
When a GM or finance lead prices guest tech, the default model still looks like seats: a tablet or terminal per room, a fixed monthly fee whether the night sold or not. Empty rooms keep paying. That is the opposite of how room revenue works.
The mismatch shows up on quiet midweeks and shoulder seasons. Hardware on the nightstand sits idle; software billed like a lease still runs. Hotels end up comparing “guest experience” tools against a cost base that does not move with occupancy — and the conversation stalls before anyone opens a QR.
Concierge Avant prices around nights sold, not seats installed. €0.25 per occupied room per day, with a monthly cap of €7 per room. Empty rooms are €0. Guests open Avant by scanning a room QR on the phone they already carry — check-in, stay info, requests — so you are not buying a fleet of in-room tablets to make the commercial model work. Staff stay on Porte; you publish once in the CMS.
That is the compare that matters for ops and finance: occupancy-linked cost versus paying for idle inventory. Pilot a floor when it suits; expand when the desk flow is proven — without inventing a per-seat budget for hardware that guests will not use.
