Everything Arcus Can Do for Your Property

2025-04-05 · Arcus Team

One platform, every shift covered

Arcus is built for one purpose: to give hospitality operators the information they need before the shift starts, not after it ends. Here's everything the platform can do — and how each feature saves you time, money, or both.

Labour cost forecasting

This is the core of Arcus. Upload your booking history and the AI analyses occupancy trends, seasonal patterns, day-of-week variations, and service mix to predict demand for every shift.

What you get:

  • Predicted occupancy for morning, afternoon, and evening
  • Labour cost as a percentage of forecasted revenue — so you can see immediately if you're over target
  • Supply cost estimates mapped against expected covers
  • Revenue projections broken down by shift block
Most properties discover they're overstaffing mid-week shifts by 2–3 people. At $15–20/hour, that's $200+ wasted per shift. Arcus flags it before anyone clocks in.

Named staff schedules

Not just "you need 4 people." Arcus generates exact names: who is on, which department, and what their assignment is. Schedules are built from your real team roster, factoring in:

  • Contracted hours — no one accidentally goes over
  • Availability — if James can't work Thursdays, he won't be scheduled
  • Department coverage — front desk, housekeeping, F&B, spa, events all covered
  • Skill matching — the right people in the right roles
The result is a rota you can hand to your team leads and say "this is today." No whiteboard, no guesswork, no last-minute scrambling.

Prioritised task lists

Every shift gets a task list ranked by priority — high, medium, and low — broken down by department and timing.

  • Housekeeping: room turnovers ordered by check-in time, deep cleans flagged
  • F&B: prep lists scaled to predicted covers, mise en place priorities
  • Front desk: VIP arrivals highlighted, late check-outs flagged
  • Spa: treatment room scheduling aligned to bookings
  • Events: setup timelines for function spaces
When the team arrives, they know exactly what needs doing and in what order. Fewer things fall through the cracks. Fewer "nobody told me" moments.

Full-day operations briefs

One credit generates a complete brief covering morning, afternoon, and evening in a single AI call. The brief combines:

  • Named staff schedules for all three shift blocks
  • Prioritised task lists by department
  • Labour cost forecast with percentage targets
  • Revenue and occupancy predictions
Print it, share it on WhatsApp, or pull it up on your phone. It's the entire day's operations plan in one document.

Accuracy tracking

After each shift, log your actual bookings. Arcus compares what it predicted against what actually happened and shows you:

  • Forecast accuracy percentage over time
  • Where predictions were off — which days, which shift blocks
  • Improvement trend — the system gets sharper the more data it has
This feedback loop is what separates Arcus from a one-time forecast. The longer you use it, the more accurate it becomes for your specific property.

Multi-property support

Running more than one venue? Switch properties in one click. Each property has its own:

  • Booking history and demand patterns
  • Staff roster and availability
  • Services and department structure
  • Forecast history and accuracy tracking
Enterprise plans support up to 90 briefs per month — enough for three properties running daily operations.

Site analytics

Every Arcus account includes a built-in analytics dashboard for your property's website. No Google Analytics needed, no third-party tools, no cookie banners.

What you see:

  • Visitors over time — daily chart with page views and unique visitors
  • Top pages — which pages on your site get the most traffic
  • Device breakdown — mobile vs desktop vs tablet
  • Browser and OS stats — know what your guests are using
  • Referrer sources — where your traffic comes from
  • Recent page views — a live feed of the last 30 visits
To track an external website, add one line of code to your site's header — Arcus gives you the script. Views from your website appear in the same dashboard alongside your Arcus page views.

Refer & earn

Share Arcus with other hotel operators. When they sign up with your referral link and make a qualifying purchase, you both earn bonus forecast credits:

  • Growth pack (25 credits): +5 bonus each
  • Professional subscription (45/month): +8 bonus each
  • Pro pack (60 credits): +10 bonus each
  • Enterprise subscription (90/month): +12 bonus each
No cap on referrals. Credits never expire. Share your link via WhatsApp, email, or text directly from the Referrals page.

Progressive web app

Arcus works as an installable app on any device — iPhone, Android, desktop. No App Store download required.

  • Install from the browser in two taps
  • Push notifications deliver your shift brief before the team arrives
  • Works offline — cached briefs are available anywhere, even without signal

5-minute setup

Upload your bookings (PMS export, spreadsheet, or CSV), add your staff roster and services, and your first full-day brief is ready in under five minutes. No integration required to start — though PMS integrations are on the roadmap.

What's coming next

  • PMS integrations — automatic data sync with Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, and more
  • Live market intelligence — real-time local events, weather, and competitor data powered by Perplexity, so your forecasts account for things your booking history can't see
  • Week-ahead generation — generate an entire week's briefs in one click
  • Team sharing — invite department heads to view their section of the brief

Try it

The Starter pack is $19 for 10 full-day briefs. Most properties recoup the cost in a single well-staffed shift.
