Property Reel comments answered 14 hours late
Boutique-property Reel at 21:00 lands 200+ comments - reservations desk closed until morning, by then prospective guest booked on an OTA at 18% commission
Multilingual DMs miss the 24h window
60%+ of EMEA / APAC / LATAM inbound DMs come in non-English - 2-3-person reservations team can't keep up, high-intent enquiries expire unanswered
OTA commission bleeds direct revenue
Prospective guest DMs after seeing the property on an OTA - without a 60-sec direct-rate reply, they book OTA at 15-18% commission cost to the property
MICE / wedding inbound goes cold
Destination-wedding and MICE planner DMs Friday night - events GM doesn't see it until Monday, €40-300k+ enquiries lost to faster-replying competing properties
