sums to do for each stay

After · Brevity Bookings
“We ran our family’s beach house through spreadsheets, emails, texts and a group chat. It was a nightmare keeping on top of who was staying and when, when the cleaning and maintenance were happening, and keeping the books. I built Brevity Bookings so the admin takes care of itself.”
How it works
Guests ask. You approve.
The rest keeps itself current.

Questions
Before you start.
Confirmed bookings create connected financial entries, and you can schedule payment reminders, arrival information and post-stay follow-ups around each booking. Cleaning, maintenance, payments and receipts stay attached to the right property activity. You still approve guests and decide how exceptions are handled.
No. Brevity Bookings starts with sensible defaults for roles, permissions, email templates and reminders. You can begin with the shared calendar, then adjust the routine as you learn what works for your property.
Yes. Keep your large-platform listings for finding new guests and use Brevity Bookings for the people who already know you. Coming next: guest card payments and calendar sharing. These are not yet available for new owners.
Anyone with your booking-page link can see what’s free and request access. Once you approve them, they get their own login to book dates. Nobody can book your property without your approval.
Only people you approve. Property access is private and invite-gated. Roles and permissions let you decide what guests, cleaners, maintenance helpers and finance users can see or change.
Yes. Booking income, cleaning and maintenance use service dates so reports run from 1 July to 30 June. You can review the ledger and export it for your accountant. Brevity Bookings organises the records, but it does not replace accounting or tax advice.
Billing is monthly or quarterly, whichever you pick. Cancel any time from the Account screen and export your data in full as CSV. No retention clauses, no lock-in contract, no call with a sales rep to get out.
