Mark sits down with Connor Paton, CEO and co-founder of Noshable, a grocery concierge service designed specifically for short-term rentals. What started as a simple idea, stock the fridge before guests arrive, has grown into a national service that enhances hospitality, improves reviews, and opens up new revenue streams for STR operators.
You’ll learn:
- How Noshable partners with STR managers to provide a seamless, branded grocery experience
- Why stocked fridges are driving more 5-star reviews and repeat bookings
- What guests actually order (hint: beer and bagels lead the list)
- How property managers are using Noshable for upsells, loyalty perks, and surprise-and-delight moments
- The behind-the-scenes logistics of launching a national service with cleaning app partners
- Why magical moments - like a stocked fridge or surprise birthday cake—are the future of STR hospitality
Whether you run one Airbnb or manage 500, this episode will change how you think about check-ins, hospitality, and what’s possible with the guest experience.
