What I was pleasantly surprised about was that there was a nice amount of logic built in for "if-then" automation that can increase listing revenue if enabled. As an example, if there is no one checking into a rental before or after a guest, Porter sends a one-off message asking if they want to stay another night for a discounted rate. If it's not a back-back turnover, that's just a dead day for me so offering it as an add-on day's a win-win for both guests and me. 

Hey Cliff, mind sharing how to do this in Your Porter? I’d love to have that automated message go out to guests to cover some of my weekday “dead days.” Thanks!

My stack looks like this at the moment

YourPorter (which my book keeper has access too through QBO integration

AirBnB

Pricelabs

Vrbo

In that order. I changed occasionally.

To answer your actual question.... I have a full time book keeper and we use QBO. The numbers aren’t my job. It’s my Jon to make a property thrive in 30 days and move on to the next one.

If someone finds value in Stessa I’d love to hear about it!

 Luke, I had to come back and thank you for the Your Porter recommendation. It’s amazing! I can already see how it’s going to make hosting much easier.

Thanks, everyone! I’ll be supplying my own vacuums (thanks Avery) and guest consumables (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, etc) and the cleaner will provide their own cleaning supplies (cleaning sprays, mops, brushes, etc.). We had our first cleaning on Sunday and the system worked well!

@Nancy Bachety

Thanks Nancy!

I’m curious to know how you’re categorizing a few specific things in Stessa.

Supplies: Which category/sub-category are you using?

Same question for furniture/linens/decorations etc.

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know if anyone is using Stessa for STR? I just created an account but wanted to know what everyone else is using for software to track income, expenses, receipts, performance, etc.
