Compare Minpaku Management Fees by Scope
10% and 15% basic management versus 20% and 30%+ full operations. Choose by responsibility, not the lowest percentage.

Pricing FAQ
Q1.What is the difference between basic management and full operations?
Basic management focuses on reservations, guest communication, registry work, and cleaning coordination. Full operations extend into cleaning quality, supply management, and first-line equipment checks.
Q2.What happens to the management fee in a month with no revenue?
Because the fee is linked to accommodation revenue, the percentage-based management fee is ¥0 when revenue is ¥0. Cleaning, repairs, or third-party costs already incurred may still apply.
Q3.Is cleaning included?
The 10% plan excludes cleaning management. Cleaning is billed separately under the 15% and 20% plans. The 30%+ plan covers cleaning and basic supplies within contract limits.
Q4.Should I choose by percentage alone?
No. Cleaning inspection, on-site response, supplies, and reporting can differ at the same headline rate. Compare responsibility and additional costs on the same scope.
Q5.What are the contract and cancellation terms?
The standard contract term is 12 months. Cancellation requires one month's written notice, with no cancellation penalty.
Choose by the Work You Retain, Not the Lowest Rate
Choose 10% or 15% basic management for online-focused support, and 20% or 30%+ full operations when on-site quality must also be delegated.
