Partnership proposal
You bring together the best operators in the market. We establish what each of their units actually earns, and we set out what moves it. Material your members can put in front of prospects, show after show.
The gap
Short-term rental has built real expertise in pricing and distribution. What the teams actually cost appears in no dashboard. Not high turnover, not a trained cleaner walking out, not a role that sits open for months.
Until that cost is measured, the gap stays open. Every month, on every unit in the portfolio.
The firm
DAO Partners is an economic advisory firm. We manage no properties and we compete with no one. Our role is to establish the real NOI of each unit, team costs included, and to set out what moves it.
The levers
On any given unit, they never move at the same time. Our role is to identify the one that matters most, then order the rest.
Location, fit-out, comfort. What it takes to bring it up, and what that returns.
What each team actually delivers, measured against what it costs. A cost your P&L never shows.
From arrival to checkout, the care that builds a unit's reputation and then holds it.
How much of your business books direct, and what channel commissions take out every month.
Rate is not a fifth lever. It is the output of the other four.
Strasbourg
Our Strasbourg operation has held an average nightly rate of €301 for four years, in a local market that sits between €130 and €150. The rating climbed with it, from 9.4 to 9.8. Rate and reputation, together.

Our proposal
You open a few units to a trial, through two or three willing member companies. We select the ones with the most to gain, establish what each actually earns, then set out what to address.
Your network then holds measured results, across several cities, ready to show.
The mandate
Everything is agreed in advance, with nothing left to negotiate on the ground. The day a unit is selected, the agreement is already in place, for the visit as for the numbers.
The last twelve months, unit by unit. We then visit every unit under review.
One sheet per unit: what to address, in what order, and what it returns.
We supervise the work on the ground, alongside the member company's teams.
The gain is measured each month, against the same month a year earlier.
Setup
Units enter after a first conversation with the firm, which selects the ones with the most upside.
The result
Concrete, measured results, across several cities, to put in front of prospects. Value for your member companies, whose units earn more and whose owners stay.
No risk to you: your member companies keep control, and come out stronger.
The conversation
A thirty-minute scoping session, with no commitment.
