StayDesk

StayDesk replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and separate tools most properties run on. Reservations, front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, stores, accounts, staff and your public website all live in one place. A booking made on your website automatically becomes a room to clean, a folio to settle and a guest to invite back.

The story

Why StayDesk exists

Every department works from the same live data. Reception sees today's arrivals on one board, checkout creates the cleaning job, a broken AC takes the room off sale, the stock used on a job comes out of inventory, and the owner's dashboard shows occupancy, ADR and RevPAR without anyone building a spreadsheet.

At a glance: 20+ connected modules · 13 staff role types · 15 built-in KPIs · 3 website languages · 1 login for everything.
