One of the first questions we typically hear from hotels looking for a hotel app is “How much will it cost?”<\/em> Lub “How long will it take?”<\/em> Unfortunately, there are a lot of variables that affect both of those numbers, and therefore an exact answer cannot be provided until the hotel works through all of their decisions related to the app and determines which decisions best correspond to their business model.<\/p>

At Appricotsoft, we work with hotels, hotel groups, and multi-property brands and help them make informed decisions when developing mobile apps for guest services, digital concierge applications, and integrated room service systems. In this article, we will take a deeper look at the factors that drive both cost and schedule, so that you can plan a project without any unexpected costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Let’s talk about something really obvious, how many hotels will your app be built to support?<\/p>

A single hotel<\/strong><\/em> property may be built with a light application design that allows for custom branding and directbooking capabilities, as well as different services.<\/p>

However, if your application is going to be servicing multiple hotels<\/em><\/strong> in an enterprise chain, then you will need a fully multi-tenant architecture that has to accommodate not only the users’ identities but also the associated room inventories, reservation logic and operations for each individual hotel.<\/p>

When you are building your application for multiple hotels, you are adding complexity to your application from end to end – from user experiences (property switchers, localized content) to back end configuration (shared databases, isolated environments) and third-party integrations (PMS, payment processing, etc.) between all hotels.<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 The decision to create a multi-hotel setup for your application does not simply rely on the size and scope of the application. The impact of creating a multi-hotel setup will influence nearly every decision that you will have to make – from your data model to how we will store and apply guest preferences in each of the different locations that you will support directly or indirectly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the largest hidden expenses associated with developing hotel mobile applications is that of third party integrations.<\/p>

Four third party integrations you’ll probably need for your hotel app are:<\/p>
