Little Hotelier

Little Hotelier (developed by the massive hospitality tech giant, SiteMinder) is a highly focused, incredibly streamlined, and heavily utilized platform built explicitly for the "Micro-Property, B&B, and Guesthouse" market. While SiteMinder's main products target large hotels, Little Hotelier is engineered to be so brutally simple that an owner of a 5-room Bed and Breakfast can run it from their smartphone while cooking breakfast for guests. The absolute core superpower of Little Hotelier is its "Extreme Simplicity Backed by Enterprise Distribution." A tiny 5-room inn usually cannot afford complex software, but they still desperately need their rooms listed on Expedia and Airbnb. Little Hotelier gives them a dead-simple calendar interface, but on the backend, it utilizes SiteMinder's colossal, enterprise-grade Channel Manager engine, ensuring their 5 rooms are distributed globally with zero latency. Furthermore, it provides a highly effective, commission-free direct booking engine for the B&B's website. Because it strips away all the confusing enterprise features (like multi-restaurant POS or casino loyalty) to focus entirely on putting heads in beds for tiny properties, it is the absolute go-to software for the global B&B and independent guesthouse market.
