STAAH MAX - What is Drip Feed Availability and how does it Function?

Drip Feed Availability feature allows you to set a restriction of maximum rooms available for the OTA(s), for a specific room type or date range.

Currently all rooms in STAAH MAX, are pushed out to the respective OTAs (10 rooms in STAAH – 10 rooms are sent to OTAs – meaning all 10 rooms are bookable).

Example
  1. If you are pushing out the Studio Room, which has 10 rooms in total;
  2. and for December (full month) you want a maximum of 5 rooms to be available
  3. You are now able to use Drip Feed to manage the maximum number of rooms available to OTA(s) for each room type.
You can apply Drip Feed at a channel level, room level or via Bulk Update. Watch our video to learn how to change your Drip Feed via Bulk Update or via Channel.
