SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Why those fall short

  • no cash recorded, rooms not flagged, no cross-reference between key and reservation logs
  • no duplicate detection or confirmation before holding rooms
  • lists are inconsistent and not integrated into the check-in system
  • third-party reservations often lack guest phone numbers
  • OTA reservations are locked; hotel has no modification rights
