How does commission eat your profit without you noticing?
It is charged on every booking
Including guests who already know you and are back for the third time.
It rises as sales rise
Your busiest month is the month you pay the most commission.
It never shows in your bank account
You receive the net payout, so the yearly total is rarely added up.
