GuestKey collects verified contact info from every adult guest — not just the booker. In return, guests get smart home controls, a digital guidebook, and live noise visibility. One link. No app download.

The Problem
10 adults stay at your property. You have one name and one email. If something goes wrong, you have no way to reach the rest.
StayFi promises guest data by gating WiFi — but guests use mobile data, enter fake emails, reuse the same info, and there's zero verification. You get junk data.
Your noise monitor alerts the booker, who says their phone died. The other 9 adults? Never contacted. No accountability.
Your digital guidebook is a static PDF nobody opens. Guests just message you at 11 PM asking how to work the TV.
Guest registration compliance? You're doing it by hand or not at all. Spreadsheets, Google Forms, honor system — none of it scales.
Core Principles
Most hosts skip registration or do it halfway. Here's what happens when you actually enforce it — verified, automated, and gated behind access.
WiFi gating is defeated in seconds — mobile data, fake emails, shared credentials. Door code gating is unbypassable. No registration and deposit? No entry. That's real enforcement, not a suggestion.
Every email gets a 6-digit OTP code. Every phone gets an SMS verification. No reuse across guests — each adult provides unique, verified contact info. You get real data, not a junk drawer of duplicates and fakes.
The booker's info is table stakes. GuestKey collects verified data from every adult staying at your property. When 10 adults register, you have 10 verified names, emails, phones, and addresses — not one.
Wisconsin ATCP 72, local lodging ordinances, tax reporting — jurisdictions increasingly require guest registration. GuestKey makes compliance a byproduct of check-in, not an extra task you forget.
Registered guest data pipes directly into noise monitoring (all adults get alerts, not just the booker), marketing campaigns, and future communications. Registration isn't the end — it's the foundation.
Registration feels strict at first. But when guests see what they unlock — smart home controls, a beautiful house guide, live noise visibility — giving their info becomes a fair trade, not a burden.
The Solution
GuestKey creates a virtuous cycle: hosts get verified data, guests get a premium portal. Everyone wins.
Verified name, address, email, phone — OTP confirmed
Smart home controls, guidebook, noise dashboard
All adults verified — feeds into marketing, compliance, noise
Guests use the portal because it's genuinely useful
"The registration feels strict at first. But when guests see what they get — door controls, house guide, noise visibility — giving their info is a fair trade."
Platform
Everything your guest needs in a single portal — and everything you need behind the scenes.
Every adult: name, address, email, phone — all OTP verified. Not just the booker. Feeds directly into your marketing, compliance, and noise monitoring platforms.
Guests lock and unlock doors from their portal. August-style toggle. Codes auto-generated, time-bound to their stay. Coming soon: thermostat and lighting.
Beautiful, mobile-first house manual with collapsible sections. Real controls embedded — guests actually use it because it's useful, not just informational.
Pipes all guest contacts into Minut and NoiseAware. All 10 adults get alerts, not just the booker. Plus guests see their own noise levels before alerts fire.
Stripe-powered with the same gating logic — no deposit, no door code. Auto-collect before check-in, auto-return after checkout. Hold or waive for damage claims.
Multi-channel: PMS, SMS, and email. Smart scheduling with quiet hours, status checklists, and 5 template types. Zero manual work from booking to checkout.
Guest Portal
One link. No app download. Works on any phone.

The Flow
GuestKey creates their portal automatically. Connects to your PMS or works standalone — either way, a personalized registration link goes out.
Verified name, address, email, phone — under 2 minutes each. The main guest shares the link with everyone in their party. You don't lift a finger.
Stripe-powered security deposit. No deposit, no door code. Collected automatically before check-in — returned automatically after checkout.
Door codes activate, the guidebook becomes the default view, and the noise dashboard opens. Guests control their stay from one portal.
Codes expire, deposit returned, guest data archived for marketing and compliance. Ready for the next reservation.
