Hotel Group Management Software - Scale Your Hotel Chain Without Enterprise Costs
Growing from one hotel to a group of 3, 10, or 50 properties introduces operational complexity that single-property PMS cannot handle. Frontdesko is built for hotel groups that need centralized control, brand consistency, and portfolio-level analytics without the $50,000+ enterprise software price tag.
Built for hotel groups of 3-50 properties
The Hotel Group Technology Gap
Small-to-mid hotel groups are stuck between single-property tools and unaffordable enterprise platforms
Single-Property PMS Does Not Scale
Software designed for one hotel breaks down at three. No consolidated reporting, no cross-property guest profiles, no centralized rate management. Each property becomes an isolated operation.
Enterprise Software Is Unaffordable
Oracle OPERA, Mews for Enterprise, and Cloudbeds for Groups cost $1,000-$5,000+ per property per month with $50,000-$200,000 implementation costs. These solutions are designed for 500-property chains, not 5-property groups.
Brand Consistency Suffers
Without centralized systems, each property develops its own processes. Guest experience varies by location, reporting formats differ, and brand standards become guidelines rather than enforced practices.
Purpose-Built for Hotel Groups
Centralized control with property-level flexibility - the right balance for growing hotel groups
Group-Level Dashboard
Portfolio performance at a glance: total revenue, group occupancy, top-performing properties, and alerts requiring attention. One login, complete visibility across your entire chain.
Brand Standards Enforcement
Standardized operating procedures, housekeeping checklists, guest communication templates, and service standards deployed across all properties. Consistency becomes automatic, not aspirational.
Centralized Revenue Management
Set group-wide pricing strategies with property-level adjustments. Seasonal rates, event-based pricing, and dynamic pricing rules applied consistently across the chain while allowing for local market conditions.
Group-Wide Channel Management
Connect all properties to OTAs from one platform. Manage rates, availability, and restrictions across Booking.com, Expedia, and 50+ channels for your entire group from a single interface.
Cross-Property Guest Recognition
When a guest who stayed at Property A books at Property B, staff see their full history and preferences. Loyalty recognition across your chain builds the brand loyalty that independent properties cannot match.
Scalable Architecture
Add new properties in hours, not months. No implementation fees per property, no per-property licensing, and no complex onboarding. Your PMS grows with your group without growing your costs.

The Hotel Group Technology Challenge
Small-to-mid hotel groups face unique technology challenges that single-property and enterprise solutions do not address
Small-to-mid hotel groups represent the fastest-growing segment of the hospitality industry, yet they are underserved by technology. Single-property PMS tools cannot provide the centralized visibility that group operators need, while enterprise platforms from Oracle and Mews are priced for chains with hundreds of properties and millions in IT budgets. Frontdesko bridges this gap with hotel group management software that delivers enterprise capabilities at a price point that makes sense for groups of 3-50 properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hotel group management software
What is the best software for small hotel groups?
Frontdesko is purpose-built for hotel groups of 3-50 properties. It provides enterprise-level features (group dashboards, brand standards, portfolio analytics) without enterprise pricing. Start free and scale as your group grows.
How is hotel group software different from regular PMS?
Hotel group software provides centralized control across multiple properties: group dashboards, cross-property reporting, brand standards enforcement, and centralized revenue management. Regular PMS manages a single property in isolation.
Can I add new properties easily?
Yes. Adding a new property takes hours, not months. No implementation fees, no per-property licensing, and no complex onboarding. Configure rooms, rates, and channels and your new property is live on the group dashboard.
Does Frontdesko support different hotel brands?
Yes. If your group operates multiple brands, each property can have its own branding, communication templates, and operational standards while being managed centrally. Cross-brand analytics give you portfolio-level visibility.
How does group pricing work?
Each property with up to 5 rooms is free. Beyond that, it is from $42/month for 10-30 rooms per property including PMS, Channel Manager, and Booking Engine. No per-property license fees. A 5-property group pays a fraction of what enterprise solutions charge.
Can regional managers see only their properties?
Yes. Role-based permissions let you structure access by region, brand, or individual property. General managers see their hotel, regional directors see their cluster, and group owners see everything.
Ready to Scale Your Hotel Group?
Centralized operations, brand standards enforcement, and portfolio-level analytics for your hotel group. Start free with every property, scale without enterprise costs. No credit card required, no contracts, no per-property licensing.
