Every shift, guests ask you the same questions. “Where should we eat?” “What shows are good?” “Is there a good helicopter tour?” “Where should we take the kids?”
You give the same great answers. You write the same restaurant names on the same hotel notepad. You pull up the same attractions on your phone. And the guest walks away, books everything on Expedia or Google, and you get nothing. Not a tip. Not a thank you email. Nothing.
You are literally a human recommendation engine — working 8, 10, 12-hour shifts at a front desk, behind a bar, or on the floor — and every single recommendation you make generates money for someone else. The restaurant gets the booking. Viator gets the commission. Expedia gets the hotel rebooking. You get your hourly wage.
Your knowledge is worth thousands of dollars a month. You know which restaurants are actually good, which tours are worth the money, which shows to skip. Guests pay hundreds of dollars acting on YOUR recommendations.
You just don’t have a system to capture that value. Until now.
And every booking earned you a commission?
The guest gets the same great recommendation. They book the same restaurant, the same tour, the same show. The only difference? Now you get paid for it.
You already give the recommendations. Now get paid for them.
This is Recommended.app — and it’s completely free.
60 seconds. Your own recommendation page loaded with the best local deals, tours, restaurants, shows, and hotels in your city.
Business cards for the front desk. A flyer for the lobby or concierge stand. A sticker for behind the bar. All generated from your dashboard, ready to print.
When a guest asks 'where should we eat?' hand them your card: 'Scan this — I put all my best recommendations on one page.' Takes 3 seconds. No pitch, no explanation needed.
Guest books a tour, a dinner, a show, a helicopter ride — you earn a commission. And the 30-day cookie means everything they book for the rest of their trip counts.

You're already the recommendation expert. Guests already ask you. The only difference now is that when they book through your page instead of Googling it, you earn a commission. Same recommendation, now with income attached.
Whether you work the front desk, manage the concierge stand, tend bar, or serve tables — if guests ask you for recommendations, this works. One QR card handles all of it.
No sales pitch. No explanation. No app to download. Just hand them a business card: 'All my best local picks are on there.' Guest scans it on their own time. Done.

You already know the best restaurants, the best tours, the best shows. The only question is whether you get paid for that knowledge — or give it away for free.
You’re working the shift anyway. You’re making the recommendations anyway. The only difference is whether a commission comes back to you — or goes to Expedia.
