Direct booking first, channels for reach
The cheapest booking you take is the one on your own site: Grondia’s embedded booking widget is included in every plan and charges no per-booking commission. The Channel Manager doesn’t replace that — it adds reach. It puts your remaining availability in front of guests who start their search on an OTA, then hands the booking straight into the same system.
Every channel booking lands as a normal reservation on your pitch map and folio, so an OTA guest is handled exactly like a direct one from check-in to check-out.
One shared availability across every channel
The Channel Manager keeps Booking.com, Google Hotels and other OTAs on one shared availability with your own booking page. There is no separate spreadsheet to update and no channel that lags a step behind.
When a pitch is sold — on any channel or at your own reception — Grondia’s atomic locking removes it from all of them in real time. A pitch sold anywhere is gone everywhere, so the overbooking that comes from managing channels by hand simply cannot happen.
Channel bookings become normal reservations
A booking from any channel arrives in Grondia as a regular reservation — on the pitch map, with one guest profile and one running folio for pitch, tax, shop, bar and rentals, settled once at check-out.
That means you run OTA guests and direct guests in a single system, with one PMS arrivals board and role-based access for reception, cleaning and management. There is no re-keying of an OTA booking into a second tool.
A paid add-on, priced plainly
The Channel Manager is an add-on and costs CHF 100 per month on top of your plan. Your own booking widget stays included in every plan and commission-free — the add-on buys reach, it doesn’t change that.
In Switzerland, Grondia starts from CHF 150 per month billed yearly; in Germany you get a tailored quote on request, also with no per-booking commission from Grondia.
See direct versus channel in your numbers
Once channels are live, the analytics show how much occupancy they actually drive: occupancy by pitch type and week, a RevPAR-style revenue-per-pitch figure, and year-on-year pacing.
That lets you decide with numbers — not habit — how much to lean on OTAs, and watch whether your commission-free direct share is growing. Advanced Analytics is available as an add-on (CHF 50/mo).
