• The Magic of Channel Managers
• There are apps that act as channel managers
  that let you manage hotel operations in one
  place. Its like hitting a lot of birds with one
  stone loading rates, advertising your hotel on
  various websites, managing the inventory, and
  accommodating hotel reservations.
• Channel managers make hotel management more
  systematic, providing you with several options so
  you can customize bookings. Choose channel
  managers that are cost-effective and rich in
  features. If possible, get those that track
  revenues, sources, and website traffic.
• It is best to make the most out of these channel
  managers. They should also help improve potential
  guests recognition of your brand, possibly
  encourage visitors to write positive reviews,
  increase direct bookings, manage your other
  business strategies, and remove tedious and
  manual processes. Both channel managers and hotel
  online booking system should facilitate your
  operations and your life.

• Online Reputation
• Hotel management is not just highly dependent on
  a hotel booking engine, but its also dependent
  on your hotels online reputation. Reputation
  management is essential, as no business will work
  if your online reputation is down to zero, no
  matter how sophisticated your software and apps
  are.
• If you must maximize online reservations, use
  social platforms to quickly respond to your
  customers and curate their feedback. Use this as
  your backup plan just in case the website is down
  and your guests could not book ahead of time.
• A good online reputation also includes providing
  solutions to your guests. You can invite your
  guests to talk to you directly about these
  problems and discuss the best solution.
