Global footprint

Serving hospitality operators across the UK, US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand

Same discipline, localised delivery: local platforms, local currency, local search language and calls scheduled in your timezone rather than ours.

The weeknight problem we had lived with for three years turned out to be an offer problem, not an awareness problem. Covers moved in the first month.
Owner, neighbourhood restaurantBrooklyn, New York
We were paying a fifth of every peak-season booking to the OTAs. Shifting even a quarter of that to direct changed what the season was worth to us.

Functions were being answered whenever someone had a spare ten minutes. Now they're answered in minutes, with a pack, and we win far more of them.

Why HMRA

Built by people who've run the floor

Hospitality only
We don't market plumbers and SaaS startups. Every campaign we run is for a venue with covers to fill or rooms to sell.
Marketing plus revenue
Demand is only half the job. We also work on pricing, channel mix and commission so extra bookings actually become extra profit.
Owner-friendly reporting
No impression dashboards. You get covers, room nights, direct bookings and cost per booking in plain English.
Independent-sized retainers
Built for one to five sites, not hotel groups. No long lock-ins and no agency layers between you and the person doing the work.

How much are you paying Booking.com every year?

Most independent hotels, inns and B&Bs pay somewhere between 15% and 25% commission on every OTA reservation. It never appears as a line item on a marketing budget, which is exactly why it goes unchallenged. Move the sliders to see the real number — and what a realistic shift toward direct booking is worth.

  • Nothing is sent anywhere — the maths runs in your browser.
  • A 20–30% channel shift is achievable for most properties within a season.
  • Commission saved is margin, not turnover — it drops almost entirely to the bottom line.

Estimates only. Real commission varies by contract, channel mix, rate plan and promotional programmes, and a channel shift takes work to achieve.

What the work is worth when it lands

Hospitality operators are pragmatic, so we lead with outcomes rather than adjectives: covers, room nights, direct revenue and commission saved.
