Webanto for Hospitality: guest journeys, reviews, and direct bookings
Hotels, restaurants, bars, and experiential venues live on repeat visits and word-of-mouth. The highest-value guests are those who return every 4-8 weeks and bring friends. Most properties still rely on a generic 'we miss you' email six months after the visit and hope the guest remembers to leave a review. Webanto connects the PMS or POS so pre-arrival, on-property upsell, post-stay review request, and win-back sequences fire automatically with the exact room type, menu items, or experience the guest had — while keeping every touch compliant with local data-protection and marketing laws.
Direct booking rates stuck below 35 percent because the 'book direct' offer only appears on the confirmation page and never follows up the guest who abandoned or booked via OTA.
Review volume and rating suffering because the 'how was your stay?' request is sent 3 weeks later when the memory has faded, or not sent at all because front desk was too busy.
Repeat visit rate below 25 percent because there is no automated 'your favourite table is available' or 'the chef is doing the tasting menu you loved' message at the right cadence.
OTAs capturing 60-70 percent of revenue because the property has no owned audience or nurture sequence to bring guests back direct.
Per-seat pricing on marketing tools that makes it impossible to give every front-of-house and revenue manager access to the guest timeline.
Pre-arrival and post-stay sequences that reference the exact booking (room type, package, dietary notes, previous visits) pulled from the PMS.
Review request automation timed at day 1, day 3, and day 7 post-stay with different creative and incentives based on NPS or spend tier.
Win-back and VIP nurture that triggers on lapsed booking window or high lifetime value, with personalised offers ('your usual suite is 15% off this month').
Content Intelligence that turns chef stories, local guides, and guest photo content into ranked assets that drive direct booking page traffic.
Flat pricing that lets the entire property (revenue, marketing, FOH, events) operate inside one guest record without seat-count penalties.
Pre-arrival, on-property upsell, review request, and win-back sequences that feel personal because they know the exact stay.
Local guides, chef stories, and guest-generated content that ranks and converts to direct bookings.
Instagram and TikTok calendars for real guest moments and behind-the-scenes that actually get posted consistently.
A 42-room boutique hotel in Barcelona increased direct booking revenue by 38% and review volume by 2.4x after moving all guest communication into Webanto PMS-synced workflows.
Via API or daily CSV export from most systems (Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, Toast, Square, Lightspeed, etc.). We map reservations, guest profiles, spend, and notes into the contact record and workflow triggers.
Frequency caps, preference centres, and suppression based on recent stay date are built in. You can set 'do not contact for 90 days after checkout' as a default rule.
Yes. Room type, package name, dietary notes, server name, and previous spend are available as merge fields and branching logic. A guest who stayed in the 'Garden Suite with spa package' receives a completely different win-back than a standard room guest.
Yes. Flat pricing means a single-site restaurant on the Starter plan and a 12-property group on the Growth plan both get the same reliable automation and guest timeline — only the contact volume and feature tier change the cost.
Online stores live and die by conversion rate, repeat purchase, and lifetime value — three things that depend almost entirely on how well you talk to your shopper after the first click. Webanto pulls
Software companies convert trial users to paid plans on the strength of two things: an onboarding sequence that gets users to a first 'aha' moment fast, and a content engine that ranks for the queries
