Discover the top 10 list of hotel management apps to help your small venue get big results.
In the past, large hotels had a much easier time using management and data collection tools than smaller hotels. But this type of software is incredibly helpful for venues with a smaller staff. Luckily, as technology advances, there are more and more options for small hotels who don’t necessarily have the infrastructure to put massive software systems into place.
In today’s blog post, guest blogger James Dorian gives us his top 11 list of hotel management apps to help your small venue get big results.

In a small hotel, the limited staff has to handle versatile tasks. The manager covers back- and front-office tasks, but they are often responsible for online and real-time booking as well. They must ensure the perfect experience for each guest.
Huge hotel chains use advanced software to keep everything on track. But small hotels shouldn’t be deprived of tools that enable easy inventory managing, reservations, and additional tasks. There are options, which all managers should consider.
WebRezPro is advertised as a fully-featured cloud-based system, which allows the manager to access data anytime. Some of the essential features include:
The monthly price is $5 per room. WebRezPro works for hotels of any size. If it’s a boutique hotel with 50 rooms, you’ll come to a price of $250 per month. For high-quality software with so much capacity, that’s a reasonable price to pay.
Setapp is an affordable service that offers curated applications for Mac and iOS. Instead of paying for each premium app, you get access to all of them for a low monthly membership. All data is cloud-based.
Out of the selection, these are the apps that work for hotel and restaurant managers:
The monthly price for Setapp is $9.99 (or $8.99 if you subscribe for annual membership).
Oracle’s system offers several solutions, which enable you to design the perfect hotel managing system.
The price isn’t transparent, and it depends on the package you want to tailor for your needs. You can contact Oracle for more details.
