How does SunDibs compare with the alternatives?
Four honest comparisons, each one naming where the alternative genuinely wins.
What are a property's options for the sunbed problem?
SunDibs vs a written towel policy
A towel policy sets a rule (unattended towels removed after X minutes) and asks staff to enforce it. SunDibs replaces the towel with a phone-based pin that releases itself automatically when the arrival window expires.
SunDibs vs a dedicated pool attendant
Manual enforcement means a staff member walks the deck, assigns loungers on arrival, and manages a queue. SunDibs shifts the enforcement to software so the staff member can spend their day on hospitality rather than policing.
SunDibs vs paid cabana booking
Paid cabana booking layers a premium reservation tier on top of free loungers and generates ancillary revenue. SunDibs solves the free-lounger scarcity problem underneath, so the two approaches are largely complementary, not competing.
SunDibs vs a QR-code booking form
A QR-code form is a mobile web page that lets guests reserve a lounger from a printed floor plan. SunDibs adds live adjacency, arrival confirmation via NFC tap, automatic no-show release, and shade forecasting: the pieces a basic form usually leaves out.
SunDibs is in its first pilot season. Where this page gives a number, it is either sourced or labelled as a target.
