An easy way to sell items to guests

Hi guys,

Looking for some feedback for my project https://www.suggest.club

 

The story:

 

I am a budding entrepreneur who has sold a few tiny companies, which, luckily for me, allowed me to become an AirBnB host so I can join the ranks of folks like yourselves!

 

I quickly realized that guests didn’t have all the items they needed, and frequently were asking me where they could buy X, Y, or Z. I started placing these items in my rental with a tip jar, but people often didn’t have cash; it was hard to track, etc.

 

I started using QR codes to allow guests to buy items; and it became much much easier; electronic, and automated. After a while, I thought other hosts might have success doing the same thing. So me and a few buddies are off to build Suggest, which allows you to print QR code enabled stickers and posters to sell everything in your unit: from food, alcohol, candy, to services that you provide.

 

I’d love to see if the community is interested in this kind of thing and if there is any feedback or things that you think I could do better. Also, if you like the idea it would be INCREDIBLE if you could sign up, which would give us much needed validation. I’ll let you in first when it’s ready. Oh yeah, it’s free to use as well; (takes a 2% commission per sale you make).

 

Everything is up in the air though, so would love to hear anything from other hosts and/or chat directly. Email is in my profile. Anyways hope you like. I spent quite a bit of time wracking my brain around how to make this useful for people. 

 

Thanks so much!

I feel like the negative comments here are myopic. I run an airbnb with a spiritual elements. I allow my guests to use things like palo santo sticks, incense, tarot cards, spiritual books etc. that they may want to purchase and take home for themselves or have shipped to them and I really am interested in this idea for that. In fact I am working on ways to set this up for my clients.
