From your numbers to something doing the work.
You see it running on your own data at about two weeks, and it is usually doing the job by four — counted from the day we have access to your data, not from the day you sign.
We come and watch how you actually work
In your office where we can be, on a screen share where we cannot. We watch the job get done before we build anything, because how a business really runs is never how it is described. Not a questionnaire.
We build the role with you, not for you
You tell us where it is wrong while we are building it, not after. We connect your tools, write the rules around how your business actually operates, and set which decisions need your approval before anything happens.
It starts, and you watch it work
Every recommendation and every entry is visible to you, and any of them can be overruled. Some clients approve every single item for the first month.
We keep tuning it
We adjust it against what actually happened — the bookings, the revenue, the books — not against what we assumed in week one.
What this costs you in time
One person to answer our questions, about an hour a week during the build. After that it should be less time than the work took you before — and if it turns into a daily chore, we have built the wrong thing and we will fix it.
How you work with us afterwards
On site when it helps and you are near enough to make it easy; a screen share when you are not. Further away we will get on a plane and you cover the travel at cost. Day to day it runs on tickets, Monday to Saturday: you tell us what the role should do differently and we change it.
A ticket changes how it works — make the weekend uplift 1.5 instead of 1.3, stop touching that listing, ask me before anything over $400. It is not for us to do the job by hand. That is the role’s job, and if it cannot do it, we built the wrong thing and that is ours to fix, not yours to file.
We do not bill by the hour and we will not send you a timesheet. How long something took us is not a reason for you to pay for it — judge it by what lands on your desk, and stop at the end of any month if it is not worth it. A contract you have to supervise is a contract you cannot leave.
These aren't products on a shelf.
Each one was built for a specific business, around the tools it already runs on and its own rules about what a human sees first.
Some clients start with the one job nobody wants to do. Others are rebuilding how the whole company runs, and hire several of these at once. It starts the same way either way — we come and watch.

One of them, in full.
This is the revenue manager, because it is the easiest to show on a page. Illustrative numbers — the real one carries your properties and your dates. The other three produce their own version of this: same depth, different subject.
A rate for every season, not a rule of thumb
floor $210 low $240 shoulder $280 peak $340 weekend +$60
Multipliers keyed to what is actually on the calendar
New Year's Eve ×3.0 marathon on your route ×1.3 festival in the district ×1.25 benchmarked against comparable hotel rooms
Then what to change first, each line costed
P0 Relist and open the calendar through January +$64k P1 Lift New Year to $2,300, four-night minimum +$8k P2 Move low season to 28-day and corporate stays +$15k
Every line has its working behind it — which listings, which dates, which comparable, which booking. The bookkeeper hands you a reconciled ledger and the questions it could not answer alone. The social manager hands you a week of posts and the replies worth your time. The briefing hands you the short list. Same job, done four ways.

$6,000
USD per month
One price. However many roles you need.
A revenue consultant charges more than this for one pricing review, and does it once. This runs every day, on every property.
- No setup fee
- Month one on approval
- Cancel any month
Or pay us out of the increase
$1,000
USD per month
Plus a share of the increase, for 12 months.
$12,000 at worst. $144,000 at most.
Rentals qualify. Most businesses don't.
Whether yours does comes down to three things — right below.
We agree the share before we start, never after we see your results.
The terms, in full
- What if the first month does not convince me?
- Then you say so and we stop, and the first month is never invoiced. You will have seen it working on your own data at about the two-week mark, and the rest of that month is us building on what you say about it — so by day thirty you know whether you want us here, and you are deciding that on something you have watched rather than on a promise. We would rather not bill you at all than bill you and argue about it afterwards.
- What if I cancel during the 12 months?
- The share stops when you do. You owe nothing on months you did not use.
- What happens after the 12 months?
- It becomes the flat $6,000 a month — the same price as if you had never taken this route. We are naming it now instead of working it out then, because a number agreed after you already depend on us is not a number you agreed to.
- Which route is cheaper?
- This one, if the increase does not come — $12,000 for the year instead of $72,000. And this one is dearer if it does. That is the whole trade: you are buying the right not to pay in full for something that did not happen, and that right costs money in the world where you turn out not to have needed it.
- What is the most this can cost me?
- $144,000 across the twelve months, and not a dollar more however well it goes. The floor is the $1,000 a month, so $12,000. In between, the share is a percentage of the increase, agreed before we start — and the bigger your business, the smaller that percentage, because what we are recovering is what it cost to build the thing, not a standing cut of your growth. Reaching the ceiling means we added several hundred thousand to your year. Everything above it is yours.
- On the share route, is the first month free too?
- Yes, and the share does not start either. Stop at the end of the first month and nothing is owed at all — no fee, no share on anything that moved in the meantime. You end up where you started.
Prices in US dollars. We invoice internationally.
Plenty of people will promise you a number for anything. Knowing which results we can honestly take credit for is most of what makes the rest of this worth believing.
Paying us out of the increase needs all three of these to be true:
The result shows up as money
Revenue or a cost you can point at on a statement. Not reach, not engagement, not time saved in principle.
There is a clean baseline
Something to compare against that existed before we arrived, and that we agree on in writing beforehand.
Part of your business can stay untouched
Listings we leave alone, priced the way you price them today. The market moves through those too, so the gap between them is the part that is honestly ours. If your properties belong to other owners and you cannot volunteer theirs, this route is closed — take the flat monthly.
A rental operator qualifies. An estate agent does not — one sale has too many hands on it to call the result ours.
And this route is ours to offer, not yours to pick. The businesses most drawn to paying out of the increase are often the ones least sure it is coming — so if the numbers do not look like they will carry it, we will tell you and quote the flat monthly instead. We would rather lose the deal than take a share of nothing.
You are paying for the people, not the software.
The software underneath is ours, public and free — anyone can download it. What you are paying for is an engineer who builds it into the shape of your business, and who keeps watching it after it goes live. That is also why leaving is simple: there is no licence to buy back and you do not need our permission to bring in somebody else.
See the softwareA registered company in Sydney, and you talk to the person who runs it.
The walkthrough is with Aaron, who runs OpenOnion. Not a salesperson, and not someone who hands you off afterwards. Our software is public and the community room is open — you can look at both before you spend anything.
The contract is with a real company, in a jurisdiction you can name:
ConnectOnion Pty Ltd
ABN 66 687 768 314 · ACN 687 768 314 · Registered in New South Wales, Australia
OpenOnion is the name we trade under. If you are in Australia or New Zealand we are in your timezone, under law you already know, and close enough to sit down with.
The things people ask before they say yes.
- How much of that 12% was just the market going up?
- Some of it, and nobody can separate the two perfectly — be suspicious of anyone who says they can. What we can do is hold some of your listings back and leave them priced the way you price them today. The market moves through both groups, so the gap between them is the part that is actually ours. We agree on that comparison in writing before we start, so nobody is arguing about it at the end of the year.
- I already pay for a pricing tool. Why would I need you?
- If it is working, you probably do not — and we will say so on the call. Let us do the arithmetic for you, since you were going to anyway. A pricing tool runs about $20 a month for the first listing and a few dollars each after that, or roughly 1% of your booking revenue. For twenty-odd properties that is a couple of hundred dollars a month. We are thirty times that. What the difference buys is that nobody on your side has to run it: those tools hand you a rule engine and leave the tuning to you, which is fine while someone has the time, and is why most people drift back to a spreadsheet. It also buys every other role at no extra cost, because the price does not move with how many you want.
- My business is seasonal. Does that break the measurement?
- No, because we never compare you to your own peak. We compare a quarter against the same quarter last year, and we agree which periods we are measuring before the work starts — for the same reason we agree every other baseline beforehand: so the answer is already settled by the time the question matters. The first month is not a results test in any case; it is a decision about whether you want us to carry on.
- What if you do not support the system I use?
- There is no list of supported systems, because it works your screen the way a person would. If someone on your team can do it with a mouse and a login, it can do it — your channel manager, your PMS, the accounting package nobody has an API for. Where a proper connection exists we use that instead, because it is faster and it breaks less often: Airbnb and Booking.com are wired up directly today. Everything else, it clicks through like a person.
- I manage properties for other owners. Does the share route still work?
- Only if you can nominate a control group without needing someone else to agree to it — usually your own units, which is a smaller and less useful sample. If the whole portfolio belongs to owners, take the flat monthly instead. We are not going to ask you to explain a pricing experiment to a landlord on our behalf.
- How much will I actually have to approve?
- For a portfolio the size of ten properties it is a handful of suggestions a day, not a queue. We would rather send you three that matter than thirty you ignore. You can also raise the threshold so it only surfaces changes above a size you set.
- How big is your team?
- Small, and deliberately. You deal with the person who runs the company, and the engineer who builds your role is the one who sat with your team to learn the work — not someone handed a spec afterwards. A larger agency would give you an account manager between you and whoever is actually doing it.
- Have you done my industry before?
- The work we can point to publicly is short-term rentals and bookkeeping. If your industry is not one we have done, we will say so on the call rather than find out at your expense. What carries across is the method, not the specific system.
- You need access to my accounts. Is that safe?
- We take the narrowest access that does the job, we tell you exactly what we can see, and you can revoke it at any time from your side without asking us.
- Could my data end up helping a competitor?
- No. What we learn about how to build these roles is ours. Your numbers, your customers and your operations stay yours, they are not pooled with anyone else, and we will put that in writing before you give us access.
- Will it do things without asking me?
- Only what you have said it can. You set that line — down to the individual platform or type of decision — and you can move it any time.
- What if it gets something wrong?
- It will, eventually. That is why the approval rules exist and why we start with them set tight. When something slips through, we fix it and we tell you what changed — we do not quietly patch it and hope you did not notice.
- My business is small. I cannot pay $6,000 a month.
- Then the second option may be open to you — a thousand a month, and we make the rest only if you make more. Be clear-eyed about it though: that route is cheaper only in the world where it does not work. If it works you will pay more than $6,000 would have cost you, capped at $144,000 for the year. It also depends on whether your result can be measured cleanly, and on a business being big enough to carry the arithmetic. We will tell you straight on the call, including if the answer is no.
- Can I stop?
- Any month, and you keep everything we built. There is no notice period and nothing to cancel by phone.
- Can it work in Chinese?
- Yes. In Chinese, in English, or in both at once.
