Product Updates
The OneBookPlus changelog lists every product update, new feature, and improvement we ship, newest first. Follow along as we build the all-in-one platform for Australian businesses, or see the OneBookPlus roadmap for what's coming next.
The native iOS app is approved and live on the App Store, with invoicing, quotes, bookings, contacts, jobs, expenses, accounting reports and every industry dashboard — plus a roomy two-pane layout on iPad. Starter and Growth plans can be subscribed in-app through Apple, and onboarding signs you in with Apple, Google or email and walks through business setup. Face ID app lock and push notifications are included; a native Android app is coming, and the full web app runs on any Android device at my.onebookplus.com.au in the meantime.
Every tab of the iOS app now carries an "Ask AI" button that opens a chat grounded in your own business data — ask about unpaid invoices, this week's bookings, or cash flow and get an answer drawn from your books, not a generic reply. It's unlimited with the AI Companion add-on, and every business gets 3 free questions a day to try it. Alongside it: a global quick-create button, Invoice Insights on the dashboard, and search on the More tab.
The public site now shows the product working instead of describing it: a scroll-driven scene scrubs through a tradie's actual day — missed call answered and booked by AI, job card, GST invoice sent from the ute, payment landing with GST set aside — while the ledger writes itself entry by entry. Every one of the 56 industry pages got its own version with a day native to that trade, and everything has full static fallbacks for reduced motion, SEO and slow connections.
Hotel operators can now switch the SMS log between "All SMS" and "Hotel SMS only" with one tap, narrowing the list to stay-related messages — pre-arrival check-in links, arrival-day welcomes, review requests and booking confirmations — without scrolling past invoice and appointment traffic. The filter keeps your other settings intact and says so plainly when nothing matches.
Hotel accounts now receive a single skim-able morning email at 6:00 am AEST listing today's arrivals, today's departures, and the balance to collect at the desk — so you can read the day's plan before reception opens. Quiet days with nothing on the board are skipped, and the digest can be switched off entirely if you'd rather not get it.
The audit log can now be narrowed to hotel activity only — check-ins, check-outs, confirmations, cancellations, no-shows and guest broadcasts — so operators running the hotel module can review a day's accommodation activity without wading through unrelated events. Your existing date and staff filters keep working alongside it.
Each promo code now shows how many bookings actually redeemed it and the revenue those stays brought in, right under the code in the list. At a glance you can see which codes are pulling in bookings and which are sitting idle — counted from real stays, not a running tally.
You can now add a weekend surcharge that applies itself at booking time — either a flat amount per Friday/Saturday night or a percentage scaled to how much of the stay falls on a weekend. It lands on the guest's folio and reports like any other charge, and it's shown on the public booking page up front so guests aren't surprised at checkout. Off by default; opt in when you're ready.
When a Google reviewer's name matches a recently checked-out guest, the Reviews page now shows a "Matched stay" link that jumps straight to that booking — so you can see who left the review and what their stay looked like. Names don't always line up perfectly, so it's clearly labelled as a possible match rather than a certainty.
The public demo now opens with a short, dismissible tour of the month's hotel features — channel-manager conflict detection, Front Desk TV, returning-guest indicators, the reschedule queue, printable scan-to-book QR cards and the OTA reconciliation report — each linking straight into the relevant screen. Dismiss it once and it stays out of your way.
Housekeeping now has a one-click "Priority today" filter that shows only the rooms with a same-day turn — a guest leaving and a different guest arriving on the same date — which is the cleaner's must-finish-first list. Those rooms also carry a priority badge in the full view so they're never missed.
The STR Compliance page now opens with a one-line summary of your short-term-rental cap exposure — how many rooms have hit or are approaching their annual night cap, and which room is closest to the line. It turns red when a cap is reached and amber when one is getting close, and stays hidden until you've configured caps.
The Direct Booking Engine page now shows what you kept this month by taking bookings directly instead of through an online travel agency — estimated against Booking.com's typical 15% commission — alongside a count of direct versus OTA bookings. It only appears once you have direct bookings, so new operators never see an empty celebration.
Accommodation Reports now opens with a six-month revenue trend showing what each month actually banked from completed stays, month by month with dollar figures — a quick read on trajectory alongside the existing 12-month ADR and occupancy chart.
A new bulk action on Room Types raises (or lowers) every room type's base nightly rate by a chosen percentage in one click — handy ahead of school holidays or shoulder-season corrections. Guardrails cap any single change at ±50% and refuse anything that would drop a rate to zero, so a typo can't wreck your calendar.
The App Marketplace now carries a Hotel & Accommodation panel summarising the month's hotel releases — guest portal with scan-to-book QR cards, channel-manager conflict detection, returning-guest indicators, the OTA commission reconciliation report, and self-check-in access codes — with a link through to the full hotel suite.
The pricing page now includes a side-by-side breakdown of what a typical 50-room property loses each month to Booking.com and Airbnb commissions, compared with 0% commission on direct bookings through OneBookPlus.
8 new accounting pages: chart of accounts, general ledger, journal entries, balance sheet, cash flow, aged receivables, aged payables, and budget tracking — bringing total accounting pages to 13.
