I was a new night auditor (quick learner as they said)... I started working in May...we were a team of 4...2 managers and 2 basic night auditors lol...we were either with one or both managers...until the day in August where one manager was on vacation...so mathematically no possible for one manager to be with us all week...he had to rest and that makes a night for juste the two of us with no manager...maybe it doesn't seem that much but for those of the night know how the audit can be overwhelming especially for newbies...thank god they prepared us well...but not for what will follow.

For context I speak 5 languages...for this story we need French English and Arabic

Around midnight 2am...my colleague was resting when a client called not feeling good...He explained having a history with gallstones...I went up to check on him. He was in the corridor suffering we called (the equivalente of 911) and I had to translate from Arabic to French, I ended up convincing the person to send a doctor, When he came..I had to translate to French for the doctor and to English for the wife...it was a tough hour....at the end I was mixing up languages speaking arabic to the doctor and french to the wife...I was tired.

The client went well after that and thanked me the next day with a tip..he didn't had to but I did appreciate it... and I was the saviour of the front desk team

Meanwhile my colleague was chilling at the front desk...he was out when languages started piling up lol

In summer 2023 I started working as a night auditor in a 5* in Paris, and since that period of time, people used to call to book for the Olympics (2024...in one year), we just explain that we're not yet opening that period for reservations...etc

I finished my 4 months contract in September 2023....and for the next year (2024!!!!) I was offered for the same job...same hotel...they liked me.

One day during the Olympics when starting my shift (at 11pm) my colleague explained that he got a weird situation...I client with no reservation saying he has a room (he did not...we were full..no booking under his name)

Since we do have more time during the night...I went deep inspecting that story...what I found was hilarious...There WAS a booking for that person !!! But 2023...and the booking was made through our department of reservations...so..by phone...and what happened actually is the person from our department mixed up the years...2023 and 2024...for him it was obvious you can't book more than one year in advance...and made the booking for the same date 2023 not 2024....and I did handle the no-show and night audit that day in 2023...My name was on the booking lol

He showed up one year later.

For people saying you have an email you can't miss the date error...We all know people PRINTING their airplane tickets and getting there the wrong date...so if you don't even think about the Year being false...you're cooked

I’m trying to validate a small B2B SaaS for hotels: staff can log luggage/vehicle handovers with photos, timestamps and responsible staff names, mainly to avoid lost-item disputes. I’m wondering if this is a real pain or just an edge case. Would hotel/front-desk teams actually pay for something like this, or is it too niche?

Hey everyone,I’m building a small B2B tool called Handozio.
The idea is simple: many hotels, front desks, valet services, garages, and car rental businesses still handle guest belongings or vehicles with paper notes, WhatsApp messages, photos in personal phones, or messy internal processes.

The problem I’m trying to solve:
- A guest leaves luggage, keys, or a vehicle.
- Staff members change shifts.
- Something gets lost, damaged, delayed, or disputed.
- The business has no clean proof of what happened, who handled it, when it happened, or what condition the item/vehicle was in.

So I built a web/mobile workflow where staff can create a ticket, add photos, assign responsibility, track status, and keep a clear record. For vehicle cases, the idea is also to generate a PDF condition sheet that the business can use outside the app if needed.

I’m not claiming this is validated yet. I’m at the stage where the product is usable enough to show publicly, and I’m trying to understand if the market actually cares.

My questions:

1. Does this sound like a real pain or a “nice to have”?
2. Would hotels/car rental agencies/garages actually pay for this, or would they just keep using paper/WhatsApp?
3. Is the positioning too broad if I target hotels + car rental + garages, or is the common point “handover proof” clear enough?
4. What would make the landing page more convincing?

I’m especially looking for criticism, not encouragement. If you think this is weak, too niche, or hard to sell, I’d rather hear that now.

I’m trying to be more disciplined with validation this time, so I’d appreciate honest feedback.

​

I’m building a simple B2B tool for teams that handle customer belongings or assets during busy operations.

​

The initial target could be hotels, valet desks, cloakrooms, event venues, or similar businesses.

​

Problem I’m looking at:

​

A guest/customer leaves something with the staff. A bag, coat, vehicle, package, or valuable item. During a rush or shift change, information can get messy. Items may be tracked on paper tickets, WhatsApp, photos on personal phones, memory, or random notes. If something goes wrong, it’s hard to know what happened, who handled it, and when.

​

The product idea:

​

A mobile-first ticketing/proof system where staff can quickly create a ticket, add photos, assign status, add notes, manage handovers, and keep a timeline of actions.

​

Not trying to replace a full hotel PMS or operations suite. The goal is a narrow tool for proof, accountability, and handover clarity.

​

Questions I’m trying to answer:

​

- Is this painful enough for businesses to pay for?

- Who would be the best first niche: hotels, valet, cloakrooms, event venues, repair shops, or something else?

- Would this be seen as a “nice to have” or a real operational need?

- What would make this trustworthy enough for a real team to use?

- Should I validate with a web MVP first, or is a mobile app basically required from day one?

​

I’m intentionally not sharing a link because I’m not trying to promote it. I’m looking for criticism, edge cases, and reasons this might fail.

I'm looking to get in contact with owners of alcohol-free establishments for a project.

Anywhere in the world works for me.

I’ve been working on a project called WatchSpots.

The idea is pretty simple: during the World Cup, a lot of people will want to watch games somewhere with other fans, but it’s not always easy to know which cafés, restaurants, community spaces, or public screenings are actually showing the match.

So I made a site to list those places.

It’s not about streaming or anything like that, only physical places where people can go watch games in real life.

For now I’m focusing on the 2026 World Cup, but I might expand it to other sports later if people find it useful.

Here’s the site: https://watchspots.co⁠

I’m still early, so I’d love honest feedback.

Mainly curious if the idea makes sense, and what would make you trust a listing before going there.

I want to know where do you usually watch sports far from the pubs and bars atmosphere.

I'm trying to find alcohol-free free spots in NYC whether it's restaurants or drybars that will show the WorldCup soon

I'm looking to get in contact with owners of alcohol-free establishments for a project.

Anywhere in the world works for me.

I'm trying to get in contact with owners of North African and Middle Eastern (alcohol-free specifically)restaurants/cafés for a project that I'm working on.

(Not promoting here just looking for the contacts) Edit : Middle Eastern/North African because most of the time by default alcohol-free, but any other alcohol-free establishment works for me.

CRM for training providers: enrollment conversion instead of generic CRM

Hey everyone,

I’m building a micro-SaaS around a very specific CRM workflow for training providers / bootcamps / cohort-based programs.

https://formation-revenue-os.vercel.app

The problem is not really “they need another CRM.”

It’s the messy gap between someone showing interest and actually enrolling.

Example:

someone requests info → books/misses a call → asks about pricing → waits on documents/payment → goes quiet → comes back later.

Most CRMs store the history, but the rep still has to rebuild the context before replying.

So I’m focusing on:

- enrollment pipeline

- next actions

- no-shows

- stale lead pickup

- documents/payment blockers

- cohort deadlines

- revenue visibility

The positioning I’m testing is:

“Enrollment conversion CRM for cohort-based training providers.”

Would you consider this too narrow for a micro-SaaS, or is that exactly the kind of specific workflow worth targeting?

Hey everyone,

I’m building Formation Revenue OS, a vertical CRM for training providers, bootcamps and cohort-based education businesses.

https://formation-revenue-os.vercel.app

The idea came from a simple problem I kept seeing:

A lot of teams don’t lose leads because nobody generated demand.

They lose them after interest already exists.

Someone requests info, books a call, misses it, asks about pricing, waits on documents/payment, goes quiet, then comes back two weeks later.

Most CRMs store the history, but the rep still has to reread everything to understand:

- who owns the lead

- what was promised

- what blocked the enrollment

- when the next step should happen

- whether the cohort deadline is getting close

- where revenue is leaking before the student actually enrolls

So I’m trying to make the workflow more specific than a generic CRM:

- lead inbox

- admissions/enrollment pipeline

- next actions and follow-ups

- stale lead pickup context

- documents / CPF-style file tracking

- revenue analytics

- manager/sales roles

- demo/live mode for beta testing

The goal is not to replace every CRM on earth.

The goal is to help training providers convert more interested leads into enrolled students by fixing the messy part between “I’m interested” and “I’m enrolled.”

I’m currently shaping it as a private assisted beta for a few pilot organizations, so I’m mainly looking for feedback on the positioning and workflow.

Does “enrollment conversion CRM for cohort-based training providers” make the problem clear enough?

Or would you position it more around “lost follow-up”, “stale lead recovery”, or “admissions pipeline" ?

I’m curious how small teams handle lead follow-up once prospects come from multiple places: website forms, DMs, calls, WhatsApp, email, referrals, etc.

The pattern I keep seeing is not really “lack of leads”, but lack of visibility after the first contact:

• who replied fast enough
• who needs a follow-up today
• who missed a call/demo
• which leads are blocked because of missing documents
• which source actually turns into revenue

I’m building a small vertical CRM around this problem for training providers / bootcamps / education businesses, but before pushing it further I’d love to understand how others solve this today.

Do you use a CRM, spreadsheets, reminders, WhatsApp labels, or just memory?
