Question 1

What booking systems does AEN build?

Accepted Answer

Hotel/villa direct-booking engines (avoid Booking.com 18% commission), restaurant table reservations, clinic appointment scheduling, beauty salon bookings, consultancy time-slot booking. Custom-built when off-the-shelf doesn't fit; integration with Cloudbeds/SimplyBook/Calendly when it does.

Question 2

Direct booking vs Booking.com?

Accepted Answer

Booking.com charges 15-25% commission per reservation. A direct-booking system on your own site captures 100% revenue. Typical break-even: 8-12 months at on request+/year bookings. For Halkidiki villas at on request/week, direct bookings often save on request-on request/year.

Question 3

How much does a booking system cost?

Accepted Answer

Combo (Website + AI Agent) from Auf Anfrage for an integrated booking site (single property + Stripe + calendar sync). A standalone AI Agent (auf Anfrage) handles reservations on an existing site.

Question 4

Payment processing?

Accepted Answer

Stripe (best DACH+international), Adyen, Viva Wallet (GR market preferred), Przelewy24 (PL). AEN handles PCI scope reduction via Stripe Elements — no card data ever touches your server.
