StayOS

Use cases

Shortlet software for every kind of operator

Whether you run three units from your phone or a portfolio of serviced apartments with a finance team, the workflow is the same: list, vet, collect, document, report. Here's how StayOS fits each operation.

Shortlet agencies

Run a multi-unit shortlet agency without the chaos

Agencies juggling 10+ units across WhatsApp and spreadsheets hit the same wall: lost bookings, missed payments and no consolidated view. StayOS is built for this exact shape of business — multiple houses, several staff, one workspace.

  • Every booking, payment and guest record in one auditable workspace
  • Team roles scoped per house, so staff only see what they handle
  • Occupancy and revenue dashboards that run the Monday meeting

of bookings initiated via self-service links within 3 months

Airbnb hosts going direct

Take direct bookings without abandoning Airbnb

Hosts on Airbnb or Booking.com pay 15–20% per booking and still miss out on repeat guests. Keep your OTA listings, but turn direct inquiries and repeat guests into commission-free bookings on your own discovery page — with iCal keeping every calendar in sync.

  • A branded discovery page that ranks on Google for 'shortlet in [your area]'
  • Repeat guests book directly in minutes — no 15% commission
  • iCal sync so a direct booking instantly blocks your Airbnb calendar

Vacation rental operators

Shortlet software for vacation rental operators

Beach houses, holiday lets and weekend escapes have brutal turnovers — guests arrive Friday, leave Sunday, repeat. StayOS automates the intake, payment and agreement cycle so your team focuses on turnover, not paperwork.

  • Guest intake completed before arrival, not after
  • Deposits and balances collected on schedule, automatically chased
  • Cleaning/turnover visibility via the availability calendar

Property management companies

Property management software that scales with your brand

When your company manages shortlets under its own brand, generic tools look unprofessional on guest-facing pages and receipts. The Enterprise plan white-labels everything — your logo, colours and domain — with high-priority support and custom features.

  • Guests see your brand, not a generic software vendor
  • Custom KYC, agreements and workflows tuned to your operation
  • API and webhooks to connect your CRM and accounting stack

Corporate & relocation housing

Corporate housing, serviced apartments & relocation stays

Companies relocating staff need clean invoicing, receipts and booking records — usually with a finance department that demands documentation. StayOS generates branded invoices and receipts per booking and keeps an audit trail your client's finance team will accept.

  • Itemised invoices and sequential receipts for corporate clients
  • Multi-currency-ready pricing for expat and remote-worker stays
  • Deposit handling for long corporate stays, fully itemised

Co-living & serviced apartments

Serviced apartments & co-living, unit by unit

Serviced apartment buildings run dozens of units with quick turnovers and mixed occupancy. Manage every unit's availability, pricing and status from one dashboard, block units for maintenance, and keep the front desk and the accountant on the same page.

  • Per-unit status grid: occupied, vacant or under maintenance
  • Nightly/weekly pricing rules with weekend and seasonal overrides
  • One availability calendar per unit, one dashboard for the building
