The performance fee is calculated on the incremental revenue NightShift generates above your historical baseline — not on your total revenue. If our recommendations produce zero uplift, the performance fee is zero.

The fee is based on the incremental revenue uplift NightShift generates above your established baseline. We measure your average RevPAR over the 60-day pilot period, then track monthly performance against that baseline. The 5% only applies to the revenue increase — not your total revenue. If performance is flat, the fee is zero.
No. NightShift works completely standalone — no PMS integration required. You enter your property details during onboarding (rooms, ADR, comp set), and we start tracking market intelligence and generating rate recommendations immediately. PMS integration is available for automated rate pushing but entirely optional.
At the end of your pilot, you'll see your actual RevPAR numbers — before and after. If you're satisfied, continue at $299/mo + 5% performance fee. If not, walk away with no charges. We only ask you to pay if NightShift demonstrably earned it.
The base subscription covers everything: daily 6 AM briefings with market intelligence, dynamic pricing recommendations, competitor rate monitoring (8+ hotels updated every 6 hours), night audit reports, guest communication tools, and full platform access. The 5% performance fee is separate and only applies to revenue uplift.
Yes. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime from your billing settings. We don't believe in locking hotels into contracts — if we're not delivering value, you should be able to leave easily.
NightShift is designed for independent and boutique hotels — typically 20 to 300 rooms. It's particularly well-suited for properties that don't have a dedicated revenue manager or can't justify a $2,000+/mo enterprise RMS. The ROI is clearest for properties with higher ADR and competitive market positioning.
During onboarding, you specify your comp set (up to 12 competitor hotels). NightShift scrapes public rate data from OTAs every 6 hours and delivers a summary in your morning briefing. You can see rate positioning, identify demand spikes, and understand how your rates compare — without manually checking booking sites.
Start your pilot. Pay if it works.
60 days, full access, zero cost upfront. We think that's a fair deal.
