Hospitality Software & Websites | Handwerk Studio

Custom hospitality software
for short-term rental operators

You're juggling five platforms, chasing guest messages across three apps, and paying 15-20% commission on every booking. We build the direct booking websites, PMS integrations, and guest management tools that put you back in control.

The problems we solve for
hospitality businesses

📱

Channel chaos

You're logging into Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO separately. Calendars don't sync. Double bookings happen. You spend your mornings on admin instead of guest experience.

💸

Commission drain

OTA platforms take 15-20% of every booking. You don't have a direct booking website, or the one you have doesn't convert. Guests who'd book direct can't find you or don't trust the process.

📋

Outgrowing your PMS

Your property management system handles the basics but can't do what you actually need. Custom reporting, multi-property dashboards, or automated guest workflows are either missing or clunky.

Direct booking websites &
short-term rental software

We don't replace your existing systems. We build what's missing: the custom dashboards, the direct booking flows, the integrations that connect everything into one workflow. Built around how your operation actually runs.

How EverythingOnline gave every host
their own booking site

EverythingOnline connects short-let rental hosts with guests. They needed a platform where each host gets their own branded website with listing management and booking flows — all managed from one central admin.

“Giving each host a private site changed how we present properties and handle bookings. Our team now manages listings from one place and moves much faster.”

Hospitality software FAQ

Can you integrate with Hospitable, Guesty, or other PMS platforms?

Yes. We build custom integrations with all major property management systems including Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, and Hostaway. Whether you need automated messaging, calendar sync, or a fully custom dashboard that pulls from multiple platforms, we have done it before and know what works.

Do you build direct booking websites?

Absolutely. Direct booking sites are one of our core deliverables for hospitality clients. We build fast, mobile-first websites with availability calendars, secure payment processing, and guest communication flows. The goal is always to reduce your dependency on Airbnb and Booking.com commissions.

How long does a hospitality platform take to build?

A direct booking website typically takes 2-4 weeks. A custom platform with PMS integration, listing management, and guest portals takes 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. We give you a specific timeline upfront and stick to it.

Can you connect to Airbnb and Booking.com APIs?

Yes. We build channel management integrations that sync availability, pricing, and bookings across OTA platforms. This means one system to manage everything instead of logging into five different dashboards.

What if we already have a PMS but need custom features?

That is actually our sweet spot. Many hospitality businesses outgrow their PMS built-in features. We build custom dashboards, reporting tools, and guest-facing portals that sit on top of your existing system without replacing it.
