12. Hot dogs are good, but all at once?

13. Advanced Grid Filters - I Problem: It’s hard to offer the perfect home when guests have many requirements OR don’t know exactly what they want. Solution: Set up Amenity Groups for property views, location, etc.

14. Advanced Grid Filters - II Problem: Lots of guests call wanting to “wheel-and-deal.” I want the bookings but I don’t want upset owners. What do I do? Solution: Set up an Amenity for “discountable” properties (owners willing to take 20% less)

15. STREAMLINING A/P Problem: Paying owners and vendors is too time consuming and expensive. Solution: Open Item A/P and ACH

16. HOUSEKEEPING - I Problem: Tracking cleaning and inspection tasks is time consuming and prone to errors. Solution: Set up cleaning tasks and schedules to automate housekeeping scheduling.

17. HOUSEKEEPING - II Problem: It’s difficult for me to determine how long cleanings took and when we’re busy, it’s more than a full time job to keep on top of tasks. Solution: Use Status Tracker to track real-time task status. http://www.status-tracker.com/EscapiaPres_7/EscapiaPres_7.html

18. E-DOC SIGNING Problem: Dealing with rental agreements is taking us too much time and energy. Guests don’t like it either. Solution: DocuSign

19. REPORTING Problem: Owners call asking how they’re doing this year vs. last year. What’s the best way to provide them with this data? Solution: Run a management report and email it to the owner.
