Questions and answers

Straight answers before you commit.

Straight answers for operators comparing reservation systems, venue CRMs, catering tools, and a very full wall of tabs.

Fit

Is this a PMS, a venue CRM, or catering software?

It does the jobs those tools split apart — reservations, event pipeline, proposals, catering orders, payments, and guest records — in one system. If OTA channel sync matters to you today, keep that tool connected while Simply Hospitality runs everything around it.

Mix

We do lodging AND events AND catering. Which product do we buy?

Just this one. Simply Hospitality is built for companies that do a bit of everything — and if you ever specialize, sibling apps like Simply Events, Simply Weddings, and Simply Lodging (for lodging-only properties, $249/month per property up to 25 units) run on the same platform, so your data never starts over.

Pricing

What does it actually cost?

Plans pair the service lines you actively run with your trailing-12-month managed bookings, and you take the first plan that fits both: $299 a month for one operation and 250 bookings, $599 up to 3 and 1,000, $999 up to 10 and 5,000, $1,799 up to 25 and 25,000, custom above — on an annual agreement, with unlimited staff and your first published website included. Guests and reservations never carry a per-record fee.

Guests

Do guests need accounts?

No. Booking requests, event inquiries, and RSVPs work through public forms — a considered experience with zero passwords in the way.

Money

How do deposits and payment schedules work?

Deposits and scheduled payments attach to each stay and event with visible status. Paid plans add a 1% platform fee on top of the processor’s own rates (0% for verified nonprofits) — every platform rate is on the pricing page.

Team

Can every department use it?

Yes — unlimited users on every plan. Front desk, sales, coordinators, kitchen, and housekeeping each get access scoped to their role, and the story stays whole across handoffs.

Support

Who builds and supports Simply Hospitality?

Simply Hospitality is built and supported by the Simply360 team on the Simply360 platform — the same people who do the data conversions and setup, not a reseller.

AI

Do we have to use the AI?

No — every AI feature in Simply Hospitality is optional and off until you turn it on. If you do use it, your team approves anything it proposes and still takes the conversations that matter with guests and hosts. The pricing page discloses published AI add-ons and the current usage policy; any additional prepaid AI pack price is shown before purchase. The Optional AI page explains how it works.
