Hotel Room Upgrade Bid Platform Dev MVP

We’re looking for a developer (or small team) to rebuild our working prototype of a hotel room upgrade bidding platform.

The platform allows hotel guests to bid for upgraded rooms after booking. Hotels can approve/reject bids, manage availability, view payouts, and export data. We’ve already tested the logic and flow in a no-code prototype (Softr + Airtable), and now need it built properly with full control, clean UI, and scalable logic.

This is for a presentable MVP, not a quick hack. We need it to function well and look polished, even if the UI is simple.

Key Features:

Guest-side:

Validate booking using Booking Ref + Email

If valid and eligible:

Show available upgrade rooms

Show room extras and price comparisons

Enforce upgrade eligibility rules (e.g. full stay only, cut-off hours, paused/unavailable rooms)

Allow bid submission

Display bid status (pending, approved, rejected)

Hotel-side:

Login-based dashboard for hotel users

View and manage bids

Approve/reject bids with optional comments

View payouts, commission, and revenue (manager user only)

Upload room unavailability and pause rooms

Export reporting data (CSV) (Manager user only)

We Will Provide:

Complete Airtable schema with 7+ structured tables (Bookings, Bids, Rooms, Payouts, etc.)

Fully tested logic (edge cases, formulas, eligibility rules)

Working prototype UI flow as a reference

Full system summary in PDF (field names, logic, relationships)

Ongoing support during build

Requirements:

Must be built using custom code (React, Next.js, or similar)

Backend can use Supabase, Firebase, or your own suggestion

Must implement secure guest validation and scoped access (guests only see their own data)

Must include basic, clean, responsive UI

UI should not look blocky or raw — we expect basic design polish using a UI kit or template (Tailwind UI, AdminKit, etc.)

Ability to handle conditional logic (e.g. unavailable dates, cut-off times, role-based pages)

Admin dashboard for hotel staff with filters and CSV export

Deployed or deploy-ready final product

Preferred Tech Stack (but open to alternatives):

Frontend: React or Next.js

Backend: Supabase, Firebase, or Node/Postgres

Auth: Supabase Auth, Firebase Auth, or your own system

Payment gateway: We will use either Stripe/Paypal OR both can be used

Timeline:

Flexible
Looking for quality over speed.
Ideal delivery: within 3 to 4 weeks
