Check in without the desk

Guests arrive, open their key on their phone and walk in. Keys switch on at check-in and expire at checkout on their own.

How it works

Three steps, in order
  1. Details before arrival

    Everything you need, collected before they land.

  2. The key appears

    On their phone at check-in time, without anyone issuing it.

  3. They walk in

    No queue, no plastic, no lockbox in the rain.

What's inside

  • Keys on their phone

    Delivered to the guest app, with nothing to collect.

  • On and off by themselves

    Active at check-in, expired at checkout, without anyone toggling.

  • Room access

    The right guest, the right door, the right dates.

  • In the guest app

    Next to their stay details rather than in a separate app.

  • Reads your PMS

    Arrivals, departures and room moves come from the system you already run.

  • Early check-in as an upsell

    The key can start earlier, if they've paid for it to.

Why it needs everything connected

A key is only right if it knows the booking behind it. This reads the same reservation your inbox and your guest app read, so a room move or an extended stay changes the key without anyone reissuing anything.

    More earned per stay, without anyone chasing it or asking the awkward question.

Questions hoteliers ask

How does digital check-in work for a hotel?

You collect what you need before the guest arrives, and their key appears on their phone at check-in time. They go straight to the room without stopping at the desk.

What happens when a guest checks out?

The key expires on its own. Nobody has to deactivate anything, and a key can't outlive the booking it belongs to.

Do I need particular locks or a particular PMS?

Digital keys need a supported lock system and a supported PMS, since the key has to follow the live reservation. It's worth checking your setup before counting on this one.

Can guests still check in at the desk?

Yes. This removes the queue for the guests who'd rather skip it, and leaves your team free for the ones who want a person.
