Why ASTOR

Why ASTOR pays off
for every hotel.

12areas of the hotel connected in one solution
24/7support for everyday questions and important decisions
01
The power of Claude, not generic AI

ASTOR runs on Claude models from Anthropic — one of the world's leading AI developers. We have built hotel know-how into these models, so ASTOR does not just understand general questions, but your specific operation.

02
The language of business, not of reports

ASTOR does not just report problems — it proposes solutions with a direct impact on results. Every answer contains a concrete, prioritised action, not just an analysis of spreadsheets.

03
A partner, not a software vendor

ASTOR is backed by the BC21 team and years of hotel experience. You are not buying a licence you have to learn — you get a solution with support behind it.

04
Lower costs, less routine

ASTOR automates repetitive analysis and administration — from pricing through food cost to shift planning — and keeps looking for where operations are overspending. The result is lower operating cost and more time for guests, not for spreadsheets.

Good morning, ASTOR. Prepare my briefing for today. What do I need to know before 9:00?
A
ASTOR · General Manager

Good morning. Today's situation is stable overall, but there are two things that need your attention before the meeting.

Positive signals

Bookings for the next 7 days are +11% above last year — a strong weekend is coming. The rate holds at CZK 4,200, guest satisfaction over 30 days is +72. Direct bookings are at 45% of the total, above target.

Needs attention today

1. Payroll cost: Last week 22% — at the target ceiling, but the trend is rising. Housekeeping overtime +18% versus the previous month. It needs a plan this week.

2. Room 14 out of service since Saturday — air-conditioning fault. The technician arrives today at 11:00. The guests booked into room 14 arrive on Wednesday — shall I prepare an upgrade to deluxe?

Today's priority steps
1
Confirm the upgrade of the room 14 guest to deluxe room 22 as compensation. By 9:30.
2
Discuss raising the weekend rate at the meeting — bookings point to room for +CZK 200–350 per night.
3
Housekeeping: review the July shift plan — call with the housekeeping lead this afternoon.
GM · eM Hotel
Payroll cost is at 22% and the trend is rising. What should I do about it? I need concrete steps.
A
ASTOR · General Manager

I analysed the structure of payroll cost over the last 90 days. Base salaries are not the problem — they hold. The problem is overtime overload in housekeeping and weak cover when a team member is absent.

Housekeeping overtime accounts for an estimated 60–70% of the total increase. If the trend continues, we will reach 24–25% by the end of July, which is the level that triggers the investor's attention.

Optimistic
20%

Cross-training plus flexible help depending on occupancy. Back on target within 6 weeks.

Realistic
21.5%

Shift review plus limiting overtime. Back to normal by the end of July.

Pessimistic
25%

No intervention during full holiday operations. A significant hit to Q3 profit.

Recommended steps
1
Immediately: Set an alert when overtime exceeds 8 h/week per employee.
2
This week: Bring in flexible help only when occupancy is above 75%, not as a flat rule.
3
Within 30 days: Train at least 2 people in basic housekeeping for cover.
GM · eM Hotel
You said bookings point to room for a higher weekend rate. How big is that potential?
A
ASTOR · General Manager

Bookings for the next 7 days are +11% above last year. The weekend is 78% booked — 2 days in advance. Comparable hotels nearby raised their average rate by 8–12% versus the previous weekend.

Recommended move: CZK 4,450–4,600 for the remaining 7–8 free rooms.

Optimistic
+CZK 28,400

Rate CZK 4,600, 8 rooms for 2 nights. Fully booked.

Realistic
+CZK 17,500

Rate CZK 4,450, 5 remaining rooms.

Pessimistic
+CZK 4,200

Some guests go to competitors if the increase is too steep.

Recommendation
1
Raise the weekend rate to CZK 4,450 for the remaining rooms.
2
Activate the upgrade-to-deluxe offer at +CZK 600 per night. Historical take-up: 22%.
3
Check whether OTA portals hold a lower price than your website — and match it if so.

The realistic scenario = +CZK 17,500 revenue for the weekend without a single extra guest.

Not an app.
