Guests notice the small things. BedKeys keeps the paperwork out of the way: the desk, housekeeping and the owner see the same rooms, the same guests and the same bills.

In a boutique hotel, the receptionist also takes the restaurant order and the owner often closes the day. BedKeys is one system for all of it, in the browser on the PCs and phones you already have, so nobody keeps a second register on the side.
Each guest has a profile with their ID, notes for staff and every past stay, so a returning guest is greeted like one.

Housekeepers work from their phones, rooms with a guest arriving today come first, and check-in only offers rooms marked ready.

Guests book on a page with your logo and colours, see prices that already include tax, and you pay no commission on the bookings it brings.

After every Night audit, the Owner’s Watchdog checks the day for cash short, large discounts, voids and free rooms, and shows who did each, with the record behind it.


“BedKeys brings our bookings, guest bills and payments together, making it easier for the team to manage daily work and for me to keep track of the business.”
