For independent hotels of 12 to 120 rooms

A new hire answers like a veteran on day one.

Your policies live in a binder, an old email, a group text and your head, and some of them disagree. SourceWyse turns them into one current version, and every shift answers from it.

What SourceWyse is

Your documents go in. One core. Every shift draws from it.

A private knowledge platform for your staff, built only from what your property has written down or said out loud.

About forty facts like this one: checkout, the Wi-Fi password, the plumber on call, the comp limit.

Every shift draws from it

  • Staff assistant$60 per stay
  • Operations manual, p.22$60
  • Front desk card$60
  • Since your last shift$60 changed
  • Your confirmation emailstill $60

Demonstration data. The fee is one the property sets; SourceWyse never recommends rates. Your confirmation email lives outside SourceWyse, so a change there goes on your fix-at-source list.

The staff assistant

Ask it anything your hotel has written down. It answers with the page.

On the phone already in their pocket, every shift, every role. It answers only from what your property has approved, and says so when it can't.

  • It names its sourceEvery answer shows the document and page, one tap away.
  • It says no instead of guessingNo approved source means no answer, and the gap goes on your list.
  • It answers in English or SpanishAsk in Spanish and the answer comes back in Spanish, drawn from the same approved documents.

Demonstration data. The Verano Inn is an invented 24-room property. Answers are generated with AI from a property's approved documents, and staff confirm anything about money, safety, legal or medical matters against the source.

The challenges it solves

Five things every small hotel lives with. Here is how they stop.

4thfront desk hire this year

Every new hire starts from zero, and your best person spends her shift answering the same questions.

With SourceWyseStaff ask in plain words and get one answer that names its page, from the first shift, in English or Spanish.

3checkout times in circulation

Your website, your confirmation email and the front desk sheet give three different checkout times.

With SourceWyseEvery copy is read against every other. You rule once, on the record, and the old copies retire.

Something breaks overnight and the person on duty calls you.

With SourceWyseThe night shift describes the situation, sees the steps, and calls the right vendor with the approval limit on screen.

A Tuesday at the Verano Inn

One shift. Six moments. Same answer every time.

Everything below is included at every band, on both products. The only thing that changes between Maria on day one and Rosa in year eleven is who typed the question.

Early morning6:05 AM

Maria opens the app before her shift

Two things changed since Friday: the garden gate code is new, and parking passes now come from the front desk.

What the platform didNothing composed, nothing summarized. A list of what actually changed since she last worked, each item dated.
Since your last shiftCore
Mid-morning9:47 AM

Day one, and a guest with a dog is at the counter

Late checkout on a Sunday for a pet room. Maria has never been asked this.

What the platform didPet rooms are 4, 5 and 11. Free to 1 PM under 80 percent occupancy. Room 11 gets the first housekeeping turn, so offer 12:30 there. Two sources named, both tappable.
Staff assistantCore
Late morning11:15 AM

Dana raises the pet fee

She edits the fee where she finds it, in the pet policy.

What the platform didCore asks whether the other five documents change too. One tap, and the manual reprints. The confirmation email template can't be reached, so it goes on the fix-at-source list.

Afternoon2:15 PM

Maria flags an answer

The quiet hours answer came back wrong for weekends.

What the platform didThe answer is pulled everywhere at once. Dana rules by the next morning, and the fix passes the property's own exam before it goes live.

Late night11:42 PM

Night shift asks where the fire panel is

No source covers it.

What the platform didAn honest no inside the thread, and a gap card on Dana's list, ranked by how often it is asked. It never guesses.

Overnight1:05 AM

Water through the ceiling, room 8

A few words and a room number are enough.

What the platform didNight shift describes what is happening and enters the room. The steps from the property's own playbook, the shutoff and the plumber who may be called without approval come back on screen, and the card in the closet says the same.

Printed and kept current

The manual that is never out of date, because it prints itself.

Every document here is a rendering of Core. Change the plumber's number once and every card that carries it reprints, and each printed page says when to stop trusting it.

In a new hire's hands on day one

Never guest-facing

Seven refusals. Each one is a decision.

Most tools sold into hospitality in the last few years went the other way, and front desks have been burned by them. These do not move.

Never talks to guests

never guest-facing, nothing reaches a guest without a person reading it first

Never guesses

never guesses, no source means no answer

Nothing plugged in

no integrations, one carve-out being the public website read once at setup with authorization

Never acts on its own

no autonomous actions, it writes and a person decides

Never watches your staff

no staff performance tracking, aggregate only, never who asked

Never changes your files

read-only on client documents, never used to train anything, one-click export

No seasonal rulebooks

no seasonal policy support beyond a start date

A chatbot that spoke to guests and got a policy wrong cost somebody a review they still have. The narrow version is the one a clerk hired five weeks ago can trust on a Saturday night.

Studio and Managed

Same platform. The difference is who runs it.

There is no reduced version. Studio and Managed are the same screens, the same Core and the same seven refusals. Room count is the only thing that moves the price.

Self-serve · anywhere

SourceWyse Studio

Build it yourself. You upload, you rule on the conflicts, you record the interview with your veteran, you publish.

from $149 / month

No build fee. Priced by room count, twelve to a hundred and twenty rooms.

  • Every control is yours: upload, review, publish, rule on flags
  • Core, the assistant and your band's publication set
  • Add-ons at $99 a month each, no build fee
  • Support in two business days, documentation first
  • No documentation audit, no acceptance guarantee, nobody on the other end of a flag

Studio opens after the first Managed properties have run a full month. Start in Studio later and stall? Hand over the keys, and the months you have paid become credit toward the build.

Done for you · remote by default

SourceWyse Managed

Built for you by the founder, then run on your behalf. Wherever the property is.

from $349 / month

Plus a one-time build from $2,500, half at signature and half at acceptance.

  • You gather, SourceWyse does the rest, ending in a ten-question acceptance test
  • The audit: every conflicting copy found, and ruled with your name and the date
  • A recorded 90-minute knowledge interview, written up and versioned, yours to keep
  • Flags answered in one business day, submissions published within seven
  • A monthly report held and read by a person before it is sent

Delivered remotely as standard. On-site capture is available anywhere as a priced option, with travel at cost.

71 to 120$399$749$8,500
Above 120 rooms SourceWyse declines, and says why on the first call. No per-user fees and no annual commitment. Studio includes 10, 20 or 30 staff accounts by band; Managed has no seat limit. More than one property under one signer: full build on each, 25 percent off the monthly from the second. Prices are in US dollars, exclude any applicable taxes, and may change before you sign.

If it can't answer your ten questions, you don't pay.

Before the build starts, you write ten questions your front desk actually receives, with the answers you would want given. If the finished assistant can't answer all ten, you owe nothing further and the deposit comes back in full. You keep the reconciled documents and the interview record either way.

The full conditions are in the Managed agreement, which you read before you sign.

What the Managed monthly promises, word for word.

One improvement ships to the platform every month, chosen from what real desks across every property asked. For your property: a flagged answer is pulled instantly and answered by a person within one business day, anything you submit publishes within the week, and every policy is re-verified every 90 days.

The Managed agreement adds two clarifications to this commitment, including a defined exception window for illness and travel.

This page summarizes what SourceWyse offers. The Studio terms you accept, or the Managed agreement you sign, set the binding terms, including the guarantee's full conditions, the response commitments and the limits on liability.

Questions

Fair ones.

How is this different from putting the binder into a general AI assistant?

A general assistant will answer confidently when your documents don't cover something, can't tell you which document an answer came from, and won't notice that your website and your confirmation email disagree. This refuses without a source, names the document and the date every time, and finds the contradictions before it answers anything.

Where does our material live?

On a shared platform, with your property's material isolated from every other client's by row-level security enforced in the database itself. An automated test tries to read across property boundaries on every change and has to fail before anything ships. Encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up nightly, never used to train anything.

What happens when it's wrong?

Occasionally it will be. It never talks to a guest, any staff member can flag an answer with one tap, the answer is pulled everywhere until a person rules, and the fix goes through the property's own exam before it goes live.

Will the staff actually use it?

The walkthrough is run with the front desk team, not the owner alone, and the monthly report shows exactly what they asked. Staff use what saves them a call to a manager.

What if we leave, or the founder is unavailable?

One click exports everything, in plain readable files. The reconciled documents are yours. The platform answers whether or not anyone is at a keyboard, and deletion after departure is confirmed in writing.

Every Managed property is built by me and tested against ten questions you write before I start. When your staff flag an answer, I am the person who answers it within a business day. Studio runs on the same platform, with the same seven refusals.
