About Lares

A layer of judgement on the owner's side.

Lares Gestión y Consultoría S.L. is a company incorporated in 2025 to fill the gap between small and mid-sized accommodations and technology providers.

Position

We work on the owner's side.
With judgement on the technology and attention on the operation.

Operating convictions

Three ideas that hold up the rest.

Three convictions that order how we work. If any of them does not fit your reading of the trade, we are going to have plenty to talk about in the diagnostic.

01

Process over tools.

An accommodation does not run because it has good tools. It runs because it has good processes. Technology is chosen to support processes that already make sense, not to invent them.

02

Stack proportional to the accommodation.

The stack has to be sized to the actual case, not to the provider's ego. Fourteen rooms do not need the PMS of a two-hundred-room chain. Two hundred rooms cannot be managed with the PMS for fourteen.

03

If it does not add, it does not enter.

Every piece of the stack has to justify itself by real, measurable value. If a tool does not improve operations or free up hours, it does not enter production no matter how much the provider insists.

The method, in one sentence.

Write the process before buying the tool. Always.

A consultancy that recommends a PMS without having seen how your team operates is selling software, not solving a problem. Lares does not fit that model.

Leadership

Two partners at the front, zero intermediaries.

The client always talks to the partners directly. The partners activate whichever technical muscle is needed. No account manager, no indirect channel.

No partner logos, direct relationship with product teams.

There are no partner logos or public certification badges here. That is deliberate: the stack is chosen by fit with the real case, not by loyalty to a brand. If a piece stops working well for a specific client, it gets swapped out.

What does not exist.

No commission per activated licence, no bonus per recommended provider, no closed short list of mandatory brands. If the best piece for your case is the one that gives us no margin, that is the one that goes in.

What does exist.

A direct relationship with the product teams of the tools we recommend. In several cases it reaches the CEO or CTO of the provider. It translates into professional-grade commercial terms, direct support instead of a ticket queue, custom development work and influence over the roadmap.

Business model

The money, in a straight line.

No commission per licence, no bonus per recommended brand, no hidden fees. Revenue comes from the client, not from the providers.

Client accommodation Project fee + maintenance One invoice Lares consulting + stack 2 partners at the front + network of specialists Recommend / contract 0% commission · 0 € bonus Providers PMS · CM · ERP · ... Revenue flow · Lares revenue comes from the client, not from the providers
The client pays Lares for the project and for the recurring monthly maintenance. Lares works with the technology providers in the market, but does not charge commissions on the tools it recommends. The recommendation is justified by fit with the case, not by a hidden margin.

Project fee and maintenance fee.

Revenue comes from the project fee and the monthly recurring maintenance fee. Zero commission per activated licence, zero bonus per recommended brand. The recommendation is justified by fit with the case, not by loyalty to a provider.

No public rate cards, no closed packages.

The specific rate arrives after the diagnostic, in a closed written proposal. We do not sell upfront plans or licences; we sell a path sized to the case.

A video call at no cost and no commitment. A mandatory starting point before any proposal.
