For B&B owners

The neighbourhood, already explained.

You know which baker is worth the walk and which terrace catches the evening sun. Writing that down for every guest, in four languages, is the part nobody has time for. We have already written the area; you put your name on it, pick your favourites and write your welcome — once, for every guest still to come.

What a guest asks at breakfast is always the same handful of things, and you answer them from memory, at the worst possible moment, in whichever language the table speaks. The printed map in the hallway is from the year you bought it and the laminated card of recommendations is mostly still right.

An area guide takes that off the table. It is one guide for the whole house, for every stay and with no expiry date, in the languages your guests speak. They scan the code in the room and have the neighbourhood, your welcome and the wifi on their phone — even three streets away, in a basement bar with no signal.

What runs in production, right now

One guide for every guest who comes

The neighbourhood around your door, with photographs, a map and a practical tip for every place, and your welcome at the top. There are no dates and no names in it, so you make it once and it does not expire. If a guest wants a day plan for their own stay, you can make a guide for that one booking as well.

One QR code in the room

A guest scans it and the guide opens — or a choice of language comes first, if you have it in more than one. Add a language later and the same code offers it. You print the code as a card for the door or a page for the welcome folder, with your logo on it.

The wifi and the key box, for your guests only

Behind that code sits what only guests should see: the wifi password, the door code or the key box, the check-in and check-out times. The ordinary share link and your public page never show any of it. When the key-box code changes, you update it in the dashboard and the card stays on the door.

Your favourites, in the guide and on your page

From the checked catalogue you pick the places you send guests to yourself; the cover photographs of your guide come from them too. In the guide your guest installs they are marked “Our favourite”, with a line of your own if you want one. On your B&B’s own page they sit below your own words and, where we know it precisely, with how far each one is from your door, but without that line. Search engines only find that page if you ask and we have read it.

In their language, even without a signal

Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish or Flemish: you make the guide in the languages your guests speak, and in each version the descriptions, the tips and the buttons are in that language; what you write yourself, such as your welcome, appears as you wrote it. Once opened, it lives on the phone — text, photographs and map — and cellars and tight data plans do not take it away.

Your name on it, and the final say

Your logo, your two colours and the address guests reach you at. If there is a place in it you would not send anyone to, you take it out. Beyond that, nobody rewrites your guide: only photographs, addresses and closures keep themselves current.

What comes back to you

What guests write about your guide and how they rate it arrives in your own inbox, and you can reply. An area guide asks for a rating once, from the guest’s second day with it; a guide for one booking asks on its last day. And you see how often your area guide was opened in the last thirty days and when it was last opened — counted without knowing who.

And what you do not get, yet

Everything above runs in production today. This is the rest of it — what a host reasonably expects and we have not built:

Your own web address. Guides are shared from vidiveni.app links. guides.yourhotel.com is not wired up.
Your own places. You pick your favourites from one shared, checked catalogue. You cannot yet add a place that is not in it — the bakery you send everyone to.
Plans you can pick yourself. There is no checkout and no plan picker. During the pilot it is a conversation, which is why this page ends in a form rather than a card number.
A connection to your booking system. No API and no keys. A guide is made in the dashboard, by a person.
A dashboard in every language. The screens you make guides in are in Dutch and English; French, German and Spanish are not there yet. The guide your guest receives is in their language either way.

All of it is on the roadmap. None of it is in the product, so none of it is in the price.
