For Boutique Property Managers & Serious STR Operators
The brand layer your PMS forgot to build.
You picked OwnerRez, Hostaway, or Guesty because it runs your operation. It wasn't supposed to run your brand. StayOps is the experience layer on top of it — designed by an operator, wired into your PMS, branded to you.
Built by the operator behind a Forbes-featured 9-bedroom Harry Potter estate near Universal Orlando.
The PMS runs your operation. Nothing runs your brand.
Generic websites.
Your direct booking site looks like every other PM's because it came out of the same template engine.
Outdated guidebooks.
Touch Stay and the rest of the digital guide space is stuck in 2018. Your guests deserve better.
Spreadsheet turnovers.
Your cleaning team is running on Google Docs and group texts. Quality suffers. Reviews follow.
Built by an operator who got tired of waiting for it to exist.
I run Wizard's Way House — a Forbes-featured 9-bedroom Harry Potter estate near Universal Orlando.
When I went looking for tools that matched the property, I found template builders, ugly guidebooks, and turnover instructions in spreadsheets.
So I built my own. Then property managers started asking if they could have it too.
This is that.
Five products. One platform. Under your brand.
A direct booking site that doesn't look like everyone else's.
Custom-designed, hand-built on Next.js. Loads in under a second. Ranks on Google. Converts like a luxury hotel site, not a vacation rental template. Wired directly into your PMS — calendars, rates, and bookings stay in sync automatically.
- Custom design, not a template
- Direct PMS integration (OwnerRez today, Hostaway and Guesty next)
- Your brand, your domain, your conversion rate
- SEO-optimized and sub-1-second load times
A guidebook that's better than Touch Stay.
Mobile-first, beautifully designed, works as a PWA. Pre-arrival info, check-in instructions, area recommendations, house rules — all branded to you. Each guest gets a unique link tied to their reservation, auto-delivered before arrival.
- Tested across hundreds of real stays
- Mobile-first PWA, works offline
- Auto-delivered per reservation
- Fully branded — your fonts, your voice, your photos
A turnover guide your cleaners will actually open.
Bilingual (English + Brazilian Portuguese out of the box, more on request). PIN-gated. Photo-driven. Checkboxes that persist between visits. WhatsApp quick-report integration. Works on every cleaner's phone, every time.
- Bilingual by default
- Photo-driven, mobile-first
- Persistent checkboxes per turnover
- WhatsApp quick-reports for issues
SMS + email that doesn't sound like a robot.
Twilio-powered sequences scheduled around each reservation. Pre-arrival, check-in day, mid-stay check, checkout, review request. Written in your voice. Triggered automatically from your PMS.
- Twilio SMS + email
- Reservation-triggered sequences
- Written in your brand voice
- Review request automation built in
The high-end hotel concierge, built into every digital touchpoint of the stay.
Operator-curated picks for what to eat, drink, do, and avoid — written in your voice, surfaced at the moments that matter. Pre-arrival SMS, guidebook, WiFi splash page, in-stay nudges. Same content, every channel, intelligently delivered.
- Operator-curated, never affiliate slop
- Powers your guidebook, comms, and WiFi captive portal
- Time-, weather-, and guest-aware recommendations
- Optional booking links and affiliate revenue share
- Captive Portal as a Service — works with UniFi, StayFi, Plume, Tanaza, and consumer routers

Boarding pass / digital guest experience (Enso Connect, etc): ~$300–500/mo → included

Honest about fit.
This is for you if:
- You manage 4–50 doors and your direct booking site looks generic
- You're a serious individual operator and Touch Stay isn't cutting it
- You're tired of cleaning ops running on group texts and spreadsheets
- You want your brand to match the quality of your properties
This isn't for you if:
- You have one cabin and a Lodgify template works fine — use Lodgify
- You're a 500-door enterprise with an in-house dev team — go build it yourself
- You think branding is a logo and a Canva template — we can't help you
Free 30-minute audit. No pitch deck.
I'll look at your current direct booking site, guest experience, and turnover ops, and tell you exactly what's costing you bookings. Working operator looking at your setup honestly.
