Cloudbeds' connectivity and experience with hostels boost Ô de Casa's operations

OPERATIONS

How Ô de Casa, a 140-bed-hostel in São Paulo, enhances the guest experience and operational efficiency using Cloudbeds and integrated systems, including POS and housekeeping management.

Why it matters: Before Cloudbeds, Ô de Casa used another property management system. After much analysis and comparison with other providers, founder and co-owner Marina decided to sign up with Cloudbeds. Cloudbeds’ robust and precise system weighed heavily on her decision. In addition, Marina considers Cloudbeds to be a solution that caters well to the hostel market. “We really wanted to work with a company that was robust and attentive to the needs of the hostel market. This is essential for us,” explains Marina Moretti.

Connectivity with other solutions, especially POS, was another decisive factor in switching to the PMS, as it allowed the system to be turbocharged in a way that other solutions could not. Currently, Ô de Casa’s tech stack includes Glow POS for points of sale, Flexkeeping for housekeeping management, and Asksuite as a service chatbot. With these connected systems, the São Paulo hostel has managed to make its guests’ experience even more powerful.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Ô de Casa aimed to enhance its operations and guest experiences. They needed a solution which catered to their specific needs as a hostel and allowed for seamless integration of various systems.

Finding a flexible PMS: Ô de Casa specifically sought a system that understood the unique needs of hostels, such as managing rooms with various bed layouts.
Improving operational efficiency: Ô de Casa wanted to eliminate manual processes and reduce errors, which they achieved by integrating systems like their POS and housekeeping management with Cloudbeds.
Gaining data-driven insights: Ô de Casa wanted to be able to better forecast occupancy, understand pricing trends, and analyze guest data for strategic decision-making.
