Expense Categories Are Now Managed Per Company

Expenses now use a dedicated category module, so each company can maintain its own category list without affecting other companies.

  • You can now manage categories in Settings -> Manage Expenses with full create, edit, and delete support.
  • Each category now includes a name, color, and icon, with an icon picker built into the form.
  • Categories are now scoped per company, so one company's expense setup is no longer shared with another company.
  • Expenses now save the category name, color, and icon snapshot directly on the expense entry, so old records still display correctly even if the category is later deleted.
  • Default expense categories are automatically added for active companies and when a company is activated, which keeps new accounts ready to use immediately.

Enable Multi Booking in the Same Day

Bookings can now support multiple reservations on the same listing within one day, as long as the required turnover window is respected.

  • The booking form now includes an Enable multi booking in a day checkbox for both new and existing bookings.
  • When enabled, Check-Out is locked to the same date as Check-In, making same-day reservations faster to enter.
  • Same-day bookings now default the booking cost to 0, so hosts can manually enter the exact amount they want to charge.
  • The turnover rule now allows a 30-minute gap for same-day bookings, while regular overnight bookings still keep the standard 2-hour turnover protection.
  • Calendar, day panel, and timeline views now display same-day bookings correctly, including overlapping same-day entries on the same listing.

Pricing Scale Groups for Guest-Based Nightly Rates

Listings can now use a Pricing Scale Group as their pricing source, so one listing can automatically follow the right nightly rate based on the booking's guest count.

  • You can now create separate Pricing Scale Groups in Settings -> Manage Listings, then add multiple pricing entries under each group.
  • Each pricing entry can represent a guest tier such as Couple, Barkada, or Family, with its own included guest count, nightly base price, and additional guest fee.
  • When a listing is set to Pricing Scale mode, you now assign the listing to a group instead of linking it to one fixed pricing row.
  • During booking, HostDashr automatically finds the best matching entry in the selected group based on the booking's guest count, then applies base nightly price plus additional guest fee per extra guest.
  • Updating a pricing entry updates every listing using that group, so guest-based pricing rules stay centralized and consistent.
  • The same pricing scale group selection is also available in the admin listings screen for internal management.

Settings Tab Is Now Split by Task

The Settings area is now easier to navigate with separate sections for listing setup and calendar connections.

  • The tab now includes Manage Listings and Manage iCal Sync buttons so setup tasks are grouped more clearly.
  • Manage Listings now keeps listing setup plus both Pricing Scale Group and Pricing Scale tools together in one place.
  • Manage iCal Sync keeps calendar feed connections separate, making platform sync management easier to review and maintain.

Financials Now Show Better Listing-Level Profitability

The Financials tab now gives a more accurate picture of each listing's performance by aligning expenses and net revenue at the listing level.

  • Revenue by Listing now shows Net Revenue by Listing, so each listing reflects revenue after expenses are deducted.
  • Expenses by Listing now includes expenses assigned directly to a listing plus shared expenses distributed evenly across all active listings.
  • This means the per-listing financial cards now line up more closely with the actual profitability of each property, not just top-line revenue.
  • Shared operating costs are no longer left out of listing-level reporting, which improves owner reporting and monthly performance review.

Vrbo & Trip.com Calendar Sync Support

iCal import and export now covers two more major platforms, so you can keep your calendars in sync across Airbnb, Agoda, Booking.com, Vrbo, and Trip.com.

  • Vrbo and Trip.com are now selectable when adding a platform iCal URL in Settings -> iCal Sync.
  • Each platform has its own brand color so reservations are easy to tell apart on the calendar, with Vrbo in purple and Trip.com in teal.
  • The Add Feed dialog now includes step-by-step instructions for getting the iCal URL from Vrbo and Trip.com.
  • Imported Vrbo and Trip.com bookings follow the same rules as existing platforms: 2-hour turnover by default, 30 minutes for same-day bookings, conflict detection, and automatic release when removed from the source calendar.
  • How to connect a new platform: Go to Settings -> iCal Sync.
  • Click + Add Platform iCal URL.
  • Choose the listing, pick Vrbo or Trip.com, paste the iCal URL, and save.
  • Click Sync Now to test, or wait for the automatic 10-minute sync.

Default Check-In / Check-Out Times per Listing

Each listing can now have its own default arrival and departure times, so new bookings always come in with the right times pre-filled.

  • Listings now have Default Check-In Time and Default Check-Out Time fields in the listing form.
  • When you create a new booking, the Time In and Time Out fields auto-fill from the selected listing's defaults.
  • Switching the listing in the booking form automatically updates the times to match the new listing.
  • If a listing does not have custom default times set, the system falls back to the global default of Check-In: 2:00 PM and Check-Out: 12:00 NN.
  • Time values are never left blank, and every booking is saved with valid check-in and check-out times.
  • How to set custom default times: Open Settings -> Listings.
  • Edit a listing.
  • Set Default Check-In Time and Default Check-Out Time.
  • Save. Future bookings on this listing will use these times automatically.
