One platform · Six engines

Everything a great hotel needs,
running on its own.

Six AI engines working together — capturing revenue, delighting guests, and answering the questions your GM asks every morning.

Revenue

Autonomous 24/7 Pricing Engine

An autonomous pricing agent that reads local event calendars, competitor rates, and real-time search demand — adjusting your ETB rates before your manager even wakes up.

Experience

Guest DNA — Active Everywhere

Guest DNA that flows from the booking to the reception to the waiter's screen. Every pattern becomes a revenue action.

Revenue

AI Upselling — 3 Stages

Native pre-arrival, check-in, and in-stay F&B upselling that uncovers the revenue sitting invisible in your data.

Retention

Triple-Layer Loyalty Engine

Points + tiers + AI behavior rewards. Loyalty no competitor can replicate — because it learns, not just counts.

Intelligence

GM BI Chatbot — Answers, Not Reports

One GM dashboard. One AI chatbot that answers “Why is F&B profit down this week?” in 10 seconds. No reports to read — only decisions to make.

Ethiopia-native

Ethiopia Mode — Local Intelligence

Timket, Fasika, Enkutatash, fasting seasons — pricing, staffing and F&B menus adjust automatically 14 days before every event.

Autonomous Pricing Engine

It raises the rate
before you'd think to.

Ubuntu reads occupancy, booking pace, local events and demand signals every minute — then moves your ETB rate the moment momentum builds. No spreadsheets, no overnight delays, no leaving money on the table.

Guest DNA Profile

One profile.
Every screen in the hotel.

When Mr. Dawit arrives, his Macchiato and shellfish allergy are already on every screen — reception, the waiter's tablet, housekeeping and the kitchen. No clipboards, no “let me check”, no repeated questions.

GM BI Chatbot

Answers,
not reports.

Ask the question you'd ask your team. Ubuntu replies in 10 seconds with the cause, the data, and the action it already took — replacing the morning management meeting entirely.

  • No dashboards to dig through
  • Root cause, not just numbers
  • Action already taken, ready for your sign-off

Why is F&B profit down this week?

F&B profit is down 9.4% vs last week. The cause:

  • • Food cost ratio rose to 38% (target 32%)
  • • Beef supplier price up 14% during fasting season
  • • Dinner covers down 6% — Tsom menu under-promoted
✓ Action taken: switched 3 dishes to a fasting-friendly menu and re-prioritised upsells. Projected recovery: +ETB 9,100 this week.

How Ubuntu gets to work

01

Connect your PMS

Ubuntu plugs into your existing property management and POS systems in days — no rip-and-replace.

02

Ubuntu learns your hotel

It ingests your history, guests and local context — building Guest DNA and an Ethiopia-aware demand model.

03

It starts working — 24/7

Pricing, upsells, loyalty and the GM chatbot go live. You approve the strategy; Ubuntu runs the execution.

“The morning meeting is gone. I ask Ubuntu what happened, and it has already fixed it. In the first month we recovered revenue we never knew we were losing.”
