    Website Revamp - Idea Exchange

    Well, I posted in the support forum and they not only answered, they actually set up a page for me with examples of how it's done. Definitely NOT as easy as my previous system, but simple enough that I can follow most of the information. It's quite a learning curve. I wonder if I should...

    No sit down service at all. It's been a while. When we have had guests, we always set up dishes so they can eat their meal at the dining room table.

    Website Revamp - Idea Exchange

    I just spent most of the day with a theme builder. UGH! They use a plugin for the gallery... it's one of the worst plugins that I have seen Envira... The lightbox doesn't work. When I tried to link to a google map link (for the 3d Sphere Photo), it won't link properly. A whole DAY and I'm...

    I'll take a look at those. I have an entire page dedicated to parking, because some people are stubborn about not paying for parking, others don't want to bother and I have parking only for a third of the rooms. It's the inner city, a parking spot can sell for $50K to $100K now, depending on...

    Website Revamp - Idea Exchange

    I'm looking for B&B website that you really love. I'm a bit different in that I'm urban while many are rural, so I'm not going to be listing things like restaurants to go to and the such.

    Website Revamp - Idea Exchange

    Okay, it's time to update my website. I started on the Karma theme years ago, but with the newest update, they are moving from WPBakery to Elementor, so even if I update the theme, I have to redo the whole website... there isn't really a way to port it. So, I thought, maybe I should move to...

    Competing With Myself

    I'm using the AirBnB API. My rates on both end up exactly the same. The rates that AirBnB displays in Canada only hide the tax, they include the fees and cleaning. The rates that AirBnB displays in Europe hide nothing. In both cases, that is to comply with laws on hidden pricing. AirBnB actually...

    What's Your Forecast for End of Year?

    We got ONE on the books... it's for the end of December. They cancelled earlier this year. I doubt it will happen, they will cancel. We only take reservations 180 days in advance. Still nothing for the summer. And we are currently only open 2/3rd of the rooms, so no shared bathrooms.

    Why don't you issue it on RK as a Gift Certificate. They have a code they put into PROMO to use it. :)

    Retiring the airpots

    I use the foamer as well, but I've actually seen the quality of the foam and the foamer isn't as good. I lust after microbubbles... I must admit. You can add the cool control, on most Jura machines.

    Patience is wearing thin but I didn’t say what I wanted to say, so, so far, so good

    Electronic locks do wonders... they know they can be timed... you aren't getting into that room.

    Retiring the airpots

    Goodscout, did you buy the Cool Control? We don't even charge extra for it. Should I mention that I do a triple each morning?

    Retiring the airpots

    We bought the Philips (Saeco) 2000 series, there are a few choices there. I think in the US this is called the Saeco XSmall. To simplify frothing, we got an automatic frother that is separate. Top button produces espresso (hit it twice and you get a double). The bottom produces Americano. It's a...

    Retiring the airpots

    We are down to making individual cups with a super automatic espresso maker. If they want to eat elsewhere (like their room), we make a pot with a stainless steel French Press, which is insulated.

    What’s with google asking everyone to leave a review?

    It gets things wrong, from time to time. We went to pick up Bubble Tea and it asked me to review the Japanese Cheesecake place, because we parked in front. But it missed the computer store we walked into. And added a gas station... even though I don't do gas anymore :) I do try to fill in...

    I haven't ask for a TA review in years. They ruined their own business.

    Do You Have A Room For Tonight?

    Anyone want to see the video of the couple at 3:15AM ringing the door and knocking looking for a room, because the bars close at 3AM? I have it somewhere...
