Real-time availability
A calendar that updates itself. No double bookings and no confirmation calls.
Services
Every booking that comes through a portal takes 15 % to 25 % with it. In high season that is several months of wages a year, paid for something you can have on your own website.

IncludedChannel sync
IncludedPortals bring you customers who had never heard of you, and that is worth paying for. The problem is when the customer who already knows you, who comes back every year, who searched for you by name, also arrives through them. That commission is money given away.
What we do is not pull you off the portals overnight. It is to give you a place of your own where booking is as easy as it is there, so the customer who was coming anyway books directly.
A booking engine built into your website, with real-time availability, online payment or a deposit, rates and seasons you manage yourself from a panel, and sync with the portals so you never get two bookings for the same night.
On the terms you decide: minimum stays, cancellation policy, extras, a direct-booking discount. That last one is what works best — give the customer a concrete reason to book on your site.
What's included
A calendar that updates itself. No double bookings and no confirmation calls.
Integrated payment gateway. Charge in full at booking or just the deposit, your call.
High, mid, low, bank holidays and weekends. You change them, without depending on anyone.
Your calendar and the portals’, always aligned. No more overlaps.
The lever that genuinely moves a customer from the OTA to your own site.
All from your phone. No 80-page manual and no three-day training course.
How we work
Which portals, what commission, and how many bookings are repeat customers.
How much commission you pay a year and how much of it is recoverable. With your data, not promises.
Built into your site, with payment, seasons and sync. Two weeks.
We publish and track how many direct bookings come in. What is not measured does not improve.
Fair questions
The engine is yours and takes no percentage per booking. The only thing that takes a cut is the payment gateway — the standard bank fee on any card payment — which is a fraction of what a portal charges.
No, and we would not recommend doing it overnight. The portals bring you new customers. The idea is that the customer who already knows you books on your site, which is why the calendar syncs with the portals so there are no overlaps.
Both, though they work differently. For restaurants it is table bookings by sitting with no per-cover commission. For accommodation it is availability by night with payment or a deposit.
Yes, and it is the most important part. Seasons, minimum stays, bank holidays and offers are all managed by you from the panel, on your phone. We teach you on delivery day.
Around two weeks, including the channel sync and payment testing. We show you it working before switching it on.
