TEG-BANDB – Standard (5 sites)

Description

Five Standard site licences for groups and agencies. Every install carries a free 30-day Pro trial with no sign-up. A licence is for one WordPress site; codes are Ed25519-signed and verified offline, so the plugin keeps working if our server is down. When a licence lapses nothing is deleted – every screen stays readable and the data can be exported.

• A room-night is the inventory, not a booking. Almost every small booking system stores a stay as two dates and then ASKS whether anything overlaps. Two requests in the same second – your website and an OTA on a bank holiday Monday – both find no overlap, both write, and the room is sold twice.
• Here there is one row per room per night with a unique key on the pair. Selling a night is an INSERT, so a second attempt fails at the database with no window, every time. About 2,200 rows a year for a six-room house, and it turns the worst failure in this trade from unlikely into structurally impossible.
• And the holes become findable. A single free Thursday between two stays, against a two-night minimum, is not an empty night – it is an INVISIBLE one that no channel will ever display to anybody. The gap report finds them, prices them, and offers to drop the minimum across one.
• Two-way iCal with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, with the polling lag MEASURED and shown in minutes rather than pretended away – and a refusal to overwrite a room you have already sold.
• A breakfast sheet that keeps ALLERGIES APART FROM PREFERENCES. A vegetarian given bacon is annoyed; somebody with a nut allergy given nuts is in an ambulance, and one requirements column treats those as the same thing. Dietary needs live on the guest, so somebody coeliac in March is still coeliac in September.
• Housekeeping that knows a changeover from a refresh, and says whether the morning actually fits between checkout and arrival.

What this is not. It is NOT a channel manager with API contracts. Calendar sync is two-way iCal, which is what the big platforms offer a house this size, and iCal is POLLED, NOT PUSHED – they re-read your calendar on their own schedule, typically every few hours, and in that window the same night can be sold twice. Nothing here closes that window; what it does is measure it, show how exposed you are, and refuse to overwrite a sold room. A house running twenty rooms across six channels needs real-time distribution and should buy a proper channel manager. It is not a payment system either: it records a payment and its reference, and taking the money is still your own terminal.
