SENA

HOSPITALITY, SIMPLIFIED.

African hospitality properties lose 20-30% of revenue to overbooked rooms, manual front-desk notebooks, and fragmented payment reconciliation. Sena turns boutique hotels and short-stays into modern digital operations.

THE BOTTLENECK

The Fragmented State of African Hospitality

Hoteliers in Lagos, Accra, and Abuja juggle paper guest logbooks, endless phone calls, and high commission OTA platforms that delay payouts for weeks.

  • •Overbookings happen constantly because Airbnb, Booking.com, and walk-in reservations do not sync in real time.
  • •High OTA commission fees (up to 20%) eat the property owners’ operating margins.
  • •Front-desk staff struggle with manual payment matching, leading to leakage and guest disputes.
  • •No direct communication channel to offer guests room upgrades or return stays.
