Software Walkthrough

Built for real lodge operations.

See how housekeeping and team shift rotas look inside the application.

Housekeeping and room status dashboard
Room Management

Room assignments and live cleaning updates

Housekeeping staff see priority rooms on their mobile screens. When a guest checks out, the room flags as Dirty. Once serviced, it flips to Ready immediately, eliminating front-desk walkie-talkie interruptions.

  • Works on any Android or iOS smartphone
  • Room status gates prevent check-in into uncleaned chalets
Team Coordination

Clear floor coverage without lost messages

Schedule receptionists, housekeepers, kitchen staff, and night guards. Staff clock in with their individual 4-digit PINs, giving owners full visibility over attendance and shift handovers.

  • Role-based access protects sensitive lodge finances
  • Shift handover logs prevent missing guest requests

Target Audience

Built specifically for independent hospitality operators.

General hotel software is bloated, complex, and assumes high-speed corporate fiber. BanjaStay is tailored specifically to properties that value fast front desks and straightforward floor management:

Safari Lodges & Bush Camps

Resilient offline sync for remote wilderness operations.

Guesthouses & B&Bs

Fast walk-in check-in and billing without spreadsheet clutter.

Boutique Stays

Coordinated room readiness, dining add-ons, and daily reporting.

Simple Operational Reliability

Designed to work in real-world conditions.

We focus on what matters most for daily operations on the property floor.

Zero-Install, Any Device

Runs instantly in Chrome, Safari, or Edge. Whether on an old reception PC, an iPad, or staff smartphones, there are no heavy software installations or specialized hardware required.

Fail-Safe Sync Architecture

When rural connections drop, front desk operations continue without interruption. BanjaStay safely buffers changes locally and reconciles them when service resumes.

Fast 5-Minute Staff Training

Staff don't need technical backgrounds. Large touch-friendly buttons, clear room status tags, and straightforward role gates mean new team members are productive on their first shift.
