holiday hours for a small hotel
8 Mar 2025
How a small hotel deals with holiday hours — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: an inbox shared between the office and the webmaster. The holiday hours data is out of sync for a small hotel.
Automate holiday hours if you can. If you cannot, write a quarterly reminder in a calendar that someone actually checks. an inbox shared between the office and the webmaster is what happens when nobody does either.
We underestimated how long holiday hours migration would take for a small hotel. The estimate was two hours; the reality was a full day because an inbox shared between the office and the webmaster had never been documented.
When we onboard a small hotel, the first thing we check is holiday hours. It tells us more about the previous provider than any sales call.
For a small hotel, the boring path won: HTTPS, a backup that we have restored once on purpose, and a calendar reminder for holiday hours.
A static site for a small hotel does not need a CDN, a build pipeline, or a container. It needs correct holiday hours and a host that stays online.
