How do I start the standard trial?+
Verify your email, set up your own organisation securely and activate your standard trial – no personal pre-approval required. You receive seven calendar days of Executive capabilities. Registration and email confirmation alone do not start the clock; activation or earlier usable data does. The trial ends automatically, with no paid subscription or invoice. Founding, Enterprise and special pilots are agreed personally.
What is GEN│RAL?+
GEN│RAL is a management decision system for independent hotels. It puts the monthly operating and financial figures you enter into context, highlighting economic priorities and next steps.
Which hotels is GEN│RAL built for?+
Independent hotels and owner-led hotel groups, especially where there is no dedicated controlling function or advanced Management Intelligence.
Does GEN│RAL replace a PMS or financial reporting?+
No. A PMS and financial reporting document what happened operationally and financially. GEN│RAL shows which development now deserves management attention.
Does GEN│RAL require a direct system integration?+
No. You enter aggregated monthly figures or correct a monthly report; the analysis then updates. This does not promise automatic data feeds from a PMS, POS, RMS or accounting system, or real-time analysis.
How often does GEN│RAL analyse?+
V1 uses monthly reports. Analysis is updated when a monthly report is entered or corrected; it does not offer a separate weekly analysis period.
What role does AI play?+
AI explains and structures results using approved GEN│RAL data. Critical economic calculations follow fixed, transparent rules.
What happens after the 7-calendar-day trial?+
The Executive trial ends automatically. A paid plan starts only after active contract confirmation and separate payment approval. Price, term and payment schedule are confirmed clearly before the contract is concluded. The standard trial does not create a paid subscription.
How can I order and pay for GEN│RAL?+
After a fit check, you can order an annual subscription directly in writing; the trial is optional. Personal order or contract confirmation is followed by an invoice. Annual prepayment is made by bank transfer; access is activated only after confirmed receipt of payment and approval. There is no automatic charge. Monthly payment will only be activated after separate checkout approval.
Is monthly payment a monthly contract?+
No. Every plan has a minimum term of twelve months. Monthly payment means twelve advance payments at the monthly rate. Annual prepayment has a separate discounted price.
How can I cancel?+
The trial ends automatically and does not need to be cancelled. Paid standard contracts can be cancelled at any time effective at the end of the current contract year; otherwise they renew for twelve months. Founding Partner terms end after no more than 24 months without automatic conversion.
Which data may I enter?+
GEN│RAL processes aggregated hotel KPIs only. Do not enter data relating to individual guests, employees or other sensitive personal information.
What happens to my data when the contract ends?+
Signed-in users can export their personal data as JSON under Data & Privacy. Authorised organisation roles also have an operational organisation export. Authentication secrets and internal security logs are excluded. After access ends, contact support@epv-group.com. Deletion requests undergo identity and applicable retention checks; they do not cause immediate, unreviewed deletion.
Can I upgrade at any time?+
Upgrades and additional hotels can take effect during the term with proration. Downgrades and hotel reductions take effect only at the end of the contract year. Price, date and scope are confirmed beforehand; cancellation, downgrades and hotel reductions do not trigger a pro-rata refund of annual prepayments.
What is the Founding Partner programme?+
The launch programme is limited to 10–15 companies. Founding Partners receive Executive features for one hotel and unlimited users for €1,788 net annually in advance. Hotels 2 and 3 cost an additional €600 net per year each; three hotels maximum. The special status ends after no more than 24 months without automatic conversion. A usage- and impact-based recommendation is prepared 90 days beforehand. Access follows approval and payment, with no separate Founding trial.
Are economic results guaranteed?+
No. GEN│RAL creates clarity, priorities and a stronger basis for decisions. Management remains responsible for the decision and its implementation.
