The honest comparison
The sales-and-catering systems the hotel industry standardized on — Amadeus Delphi is the best known — are built on the Salesforce platform and sold to flagged hotels and convention properties: quote-priced, per-user, implemented by project teams. An independent inn, venue, or hospitality group needs the same jobs done without the enterprise procurement. Here is the honest math, with sources.
Same jobs, different economics
Both columns are public figures: theirs from the sources linked below, ours from the pricing page on this site.
Delphi-class sales-and-catering platforms are quote-priced on Salesforce infrastructure — per-user CRM licensing underneath (commercial Salesforce seats list at $25–$350 per user per month), partner implementation, and ongoing administration, structured for hotel groups and convention centers.
An inn or venue with events fits the 2,500-person band at $69 a month: guests, hosts, corporate clients, and vendors on one record system, booking and inquiry forms, banquet and catering details, payments, and your website included — with unlimited staff logins.
The structural difference
None of this is a discount or a promotion — the product is priced differently on purpose.
Enterprise hospitality software assumes you picked a lane. Simply Hospitality keeps stays, celebrations, catering, and the cottage out back on the same records, because at your property they are the same guests.
Front desk, events, kitchen, owners — unlimited users are included, so the Saturday briefing reads from the system, not a printout chain.
Setup help starts at $500 for data conversion and $2,500 for guided onboarding. Most properties launch in weeks, without an integration project plan.
Bands, website, and setup packages are public — model the cost per property before anyone books a call.
Honest answers
A flagged hotel with brand-mandated systems, a group-sales team, and convention-scale banquet operations belongs on the platforms built for that world — often the flag makes that choice for you.
