Direct Bookings.
Delivered.
We proactively hunt for guests before they go to Booking.com — through AI-driven B2B event outreach and automated B2C guest journeys.
You only pay 4–7% commission on direct bookings we generate. OTAs charge 15–20% regardless.

The Problem
You built a great hotel.
OTAs take the credit.
Every Booking.com reservation costs you 15–20%. Not because they found a better guest — because they showed up first. We fix that.
The OTA Trap
- Pay 15–20% commission on every booking, even repeat guests
- No ownership of guest relationships or data
- Race-to-bottom pricing to stay competitive on their platform
- Zero visibility into who is actually staying at your hotel
- Groups and corporate clients go undetected until it's too late
The StayDirectAI Way
- We identify companies attending local events and pitch your hotel first
- Automated pre-stay, post-stay, and VIP re-engagement emails — no manual work
- You own the guest relationship and booking channel
- Pay only 4–7% on bookings we actually generate
- Full attribution: we track every direct booking back to our campaigns
The Math Is Simple
Every $10,000 in OTA revenue costs you $1,500–$2,000
The same revenue through StayDirectAI costs you
$400–$700
That difference compounds over every season, every year.
How It Works
Set it once. Let it run.
We built the entire acquisition and retention engine so your team can focus on delivering great stays — not chasing bookings.
We Connect & Learn Your Hotel
You fill out a simple property form — hotel name, location, room count, PMS provider. We handle the rest. No IT department needed.
AI Finds the Right Guests
Our system continuously scans for events near your hotel — concerts, conferences, graduations, trade shows. It finds the companies attending and sends personalized cold outreach from dedicated sending domains.
Guest Journey Runs on Autopilot
From the moment a reservation is confirmed: 48hr welcome email, post-stay review request, 30-day VIP return offer with a private discount code. You review and approve seasonal campaigns directly from your dashboard before they go out.
You See Everything, Pay for Results
Your dashboard shows every lead, email sent, reservation attributed, and commission owed. You pay via Stripe only on the bookings we generated. Full transparency, no guesswork.

This is what your hotel manager sees from day one — real events, real guests, real money.
