In the fast-paced world of hospitality, the quest to maximize revenue is a constant challenge. To achieve this goal, independent and smaller owner/operator hotel groups often find themselves competing against industry giants, striving to leverage their unique selling points in a crowded market.
At Duetto, we understand the distinct challenges faced by these businesses, and we're here to help them thrive through our innovative technology. Here are three of the ways in which Duetto assists:
- Our Open Pricing methodology enables hotels to price every room, segment, and distribution channel independently, driving the ultimate results from your inventory;
- The integrated tech stack enables smaller owner/operator hotel groups to be more agile in their approach to market and manage staff efficiencies, optimizing every profit opportunity;
- Our cloud-based revenue management system provides stakeholders with access to valuable reports, forecasts, and budget information, shared seamlessly between teams, empowering operators and informing hotel owners.
Now let’s see what a few of our clients have to say about choosing Duetto as a solution.
Linchris Hotel Corporation
Linchris Hotel Corporation works with a wide variety of hotel types across the US, from urban hotels to waterfront resorts, independent names, and big brands. The company’s portfolio includes properties in California, Florida, New York, Massachusetts, Arizona, New Hampshire, and more, and includes the Hotel Tybee, GA, Inn at Middletown, CT, and the Anchor In Hotel in Hyannis, MA.
Each property under the Linchris management umbrella benefits from a comprehensive management system that includes a careful analysis of each hotel's financial goals, as well as its systems and controls, and a detailed revenue-maximizing marketing plan.
Linchris joined Duetto in 2021 and has been seeing consistent year-on-year growth in rates, as well as increasing the team’s efficiency and strategies’ effectiveness.

And then there is tracking that can be embedded into a website, which is one of the things I think that we have always been missing. To be able to track what’s happening on your website, and understand what is happening in the funnel, has been a big game changer for us,” claims Darrell Stark VP, Revenue Management & Distribution, Noble House Hotels & Resorts.
