Bring your commercial review into one place.

Your OTA reports, rate decisions, enquiry records and payout statements answer different questions. This workbook gives you a shared property setup and a repeatable way to review those records, spot an exception and follow through.

You supply the data and judgement. The workbook provides calculations, checks and a place to record the next action.

Inside the workbook

Start with the problem you want to work on.

You can work on one module at a time. Shared setup connects the records to the Command Centre and Issue Queue.

A closer look at the working copy

These are small worksheet renders from the included fictional example. Open a preview for a larger view. Captions describe each task without relying on the image.

00 StartChoose a challenge
Start worksheet crop: enter property details, choose a challenge and review the recommended next module. Labelled fictional example data.
Choose a starting point. Complete Setup, select the challenge you want to address and follow the recommended module.
14 ActionsVerify the follow-through
Actions worksheet crop showing source module, source record, verification date and calculated Verified, Overdue and Open states in fictional records.
Keep the source and completion check together. Link an action to its source record. Record results, evidence and a verification date; changing a status alone does not verify completion.

All previews use fictional example data. Colours and layout can differ after Google Sheets conversion.

From a review to a recorded decision

The start guide walks you through this workflow. Begin in the blank workbook and keep the fictional example separate.

  1. Set up your property

    Enter inventory, currency, reporting month, review date and owners once in 01 Setup.

  2. Review one module

    Add the relevant records. Read the input-state checks, calculated outputs and exceptions.

  3. Assign a correction

    Use the Issue Queue to identify a gap. Manually create an action with its source, owner and due date.

  4. Record and revisit

    Add the result and evidence, verify completion, and keep a dated copy for your next review.

Is this a good fit for your property?

For independent hotel, boutique hotel and resort owners, general managers and commercial teams who want a structured way to review their own records.

  • You can access your propertyโ€™s revenue, channel costs, enquiry records and payout statements.
  • You are willing to enter data and assign someone to act on the findings.
  • You want a self-service workbook for one property at a time.

What your purchase includes

Eight customer files: two workbooks, four PDFs, an offline HTML start guide and an editable CSV library.

Choose Excel or a converted Google Sheet

Use a desktop or tablet for wide financial entry. A phone is better suited to reading the start guide and selected summary columns.

Microsoft Excel

Extract the download, save your own copy and open it in a supported desktop Excel installation with automatic calculation enabled. No macros are required.

Supplied release testing checked opening and core calculations in Excel 16.0. Full editing, saving and printing in licensed Excel have not yet been tested.

Google Sheets

Upload the XLSX to your own Google Drive, open it with Google Sheets and choose File โ†’ Save as Google Sheets. Keep that working copy private.

Supplied testing checked core calculations after native conversion. Navigation and presentation can change; use the numbered tabs if links do not import. Full browser and mobile editing usability remains unverified.

Use the supplied record ranges. They include 500 enquiries, 1,000 OTA payouts and 500 actions. Extending beyond preformatted rows requires formula maintenance. Use one currency and consistent financial bases; the currency label does not convert amounts.

Questions before you buy

What exactly is this workbook?
It is a downloadable commercial review workbook for one accommodation property at a time. You enter property records, review calculated checks and exceptions, and record decisions and assigned actions. It includes guidance and a separate fictional example.
Do I need advanced spreadsheet skills?
You need to be comfortable entering data, choosing dropdown values and filtering records. The start guide distinguishes input cells from calculated outputs. No macros or Apps Script are required for the core calculations; maintaining formulas or extending the supplied record ranges needs spreadsheet knowledge.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
The package includes an XLSX file and instructions to upload it to your own Drive and save it as a native Google Sheet. Supplied release testing checked core calculations in native Sheets and Excel. Conversion can change navigation and presentation; use the numbered tabs if imported links are unavailable. It does not include a public Google Sheets template link.
Does it connect to my PMS, OTAs or WhatsApp?
No. You enter or paste records and keep source evidence in your authorised operating systems. The workbook calculates checks and suggests corrections. It does not synchronise live data, publish rates, send messages or create actions automatically.
Can I use it on my phone?
A phone is useful for reading the start guide and the first Command Centre columns. Use desktop Excel or Google Sheets on a desktop or tablet for the wider financial worksheets. Full mobile editing and spreadsheet print usability have not been verified in the supplied release.
Does buying it include consulting or future updates?
The product is a self-service digital download. Any implementation help and future-update entitlement must be confirmed in the terms supplied with your order. Scale My Hotel services can be discussed separately.
What are the usage and refund terms?
All sales are final on digital downloads. Because this workbook is delivered immediately as an instant digital download upon completed Payhip checkout, purchases are non-refundable. The single-purchaser licence permits adaptation across properties within your own business. If you experience an unzipping or delivery problem, contact hi@scalemyhotel.com with your Payhip order reference for assistance.

Want hands-on help with the work?

Scale My Hotel also offers separately scoped support for hotel revenue management, OTA listing optimisation and direct-booking websites. Buying the workbook does not include these services.
