Is running the inn scattered across systems?

Bookings on the OTA, questions in email, rates on another screen. Most of the day goes to switching between them.

  • 01

    Updating inventory and rates, OTA by OTA

  • 02

    Answering the same question again and again

  • 03

    Re-typing bookings into another system

  • 04

    Handling late-night check-ins

  • 05

    Paying an agency to change the website

  • 06

    Checking payments on yet another screen

With Dawnlight Hotel OS, it all comes together.

Features

Six modules

Everything a small property needs to run, in one place. You can also add just the modules you need to the website you already have.

01

Reservations & rooms

Who is staying tonight, in which room, at what rate. Check-in and out, receipts and guest history on a single screen.

02

OTA channel management

Inventory, rates and reservations sync automatically across Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Agoda and Trip.com. No double bookings, no re-typing.

03

Website & direct booking

Choose one of 12 designs and the official site is ready, booking included — direct reservations with no OTA commission.

04

Multilingual AI concierge

Answers in the guest's own language, around the clock. Facilities, directions, check-in — the AI handles the routine and passes on only what needs a person.

05

Self check-in

Pre-arrival check-in, ID verification and automatic smart-lock codes, so guests can arrive when the desk is unattended.

06

Payments

Prepayment, on-site payment and OTA-collected payment in one ledger, totalled automatically.

Websites

A site that feels like your inn, starting with the design.

Choose the style that fits your property from 12 designs.

Photos, text and rates can be updated from the admin screen after launch.

AI concierge

Most enquiries are the same question.

Is there parking? What time is check-in? How do I get there from the station? The Dawnlight Hotel OS concierge answers from the property's own information, in the guest's language, immediately. Every conversation is summarised in a monthly report: how many, at what hour, in which language.

Anything that needs judgement — a change of dates, a cancellation — is handed to your staff rather than decided by the AI.

Getting started

How it works

Before the contract: a trial and a requirements pass. After it: we set the system up for your property.

Before the contract

  1. 01

    First conversation

    Thirty minutes online. Your size, the OTAs you use, how you work today.

  2. 02

    Seven-day trial

    We issue a test account for the admin screen so you can try it with sample data.

  3. 03

    Requirements

    Together we settle which modules you need, the direction for the website, your room types, and whether you want online payment.

  4. 04

    Free subsidy consultation

    We suggest schemes that may apply. You file the application yourself; we can introduce an administrative scrivener.

  5. 05

    Quote and contract

    Scope, schedule and price confirmed, then the contract.

After the contract

  1. 06

    Website design

    Design, text and photography are refined over a few rounds. We can import the content of your current website as it is, so there is nothing new to prepare.

  2. 07

    Accounts on your side

    Stripe if you take online payment, connection approval in your OTA consoles, your domain.

  3. 08

    Configuration

    Done by us. OTA connections, rooms and rates, the website build and the AI concierge's knowledge, set up for your property.

  4. 09

    Migration and testing

    Your existing reservations are imported and everything is checked against how you actually operate.

  5. 10

    Training and go-live

    We walk your team through it online. Support continues by chat and email after launch.

Dawnlight Hotel OS is configured and customised for each property before handover. No technical knowledge is needed.

Pricing

Pricing

A monthly fee based on room count, with optional modules added only as you need them. The full price list is in preparation — get in touch and we will send a quote for your property.

Get in touch

Subsidies

Part of the cost, covered by a subsidy.

We check, for free, which DX subsidies your property can use. You file the application; we prepare the quotations and technical documents it needs, and can introduce an administrative scrivener.

  • We run our own subsidy-matching service
  • Usually covers the one-off implementation cost
  • Supported three applications under Nagano's FY2026 accommodation DX subsidy

Frequently asked

Can we use it without being technical?

Yes. We do the setup, and day to day it is mostly checking reservations and assigning rooms.

Can we move from our current channel manager or PMS?

Yes. We import your existing reservation data and then switch over.

Do you support Rakuten Travel and Jalan?

Please ask us about domestic OTA connections.

Are subsidies available?

IT adoption and DX schemes may apply. We run our own subsidy-matching service and track the schemes as they change. Ask us whether anything fits — the consultation is free.

Which languages does it cover?

The AI concierge covers the major languages and is configured to the ones you want. The admin screen is Japanese and English.

You wanted to run an inn, not manage software.

Start with thirty minutes online — we will show you the real screens.
