For Independent Hoteliers:
"Every time a guest books dining or a spa treatment through Lucy, you earn 1% back. Week 1 you get £850. Scale to 10 hotels? That's £44K/year in pure commission. A transparent, direct revenue share with no middlemen."
For Lucy (Investor Pitch):
"We flip the AI narrative from 'cost cutting' to 'revenue expansion.' Hotels earn 1%, we earn 2%. It's simple, scalable, and transparent. Every new hotel adds recurring transaction revenue with zero marginal cost."
