Watch how a shortlet operator can manage multiple apartments, follow-ups, guest communication, and cleaning staff in minutes instead of spending the day inside WhatsApp.
Why it converts
Built around the real problems shortlet operators complain about.
This is not just software packaging. StayOps is designed to help you reply faster, look more organized, manage more units, and coordinate staff without growing chaos.
One-Button WhatsApp Workflows
Send follow-ups, reminders, and guest nudges from your dashboard so conversations do not get buried in personal chats and staff back-and-forth.
Your Own Direct Booking Engine
We build you a beautiful, mobile-friendly booking portal (like boutiquelodge.stayops.com.ng) that guests use to view your units and pay directly. You keep 98%+ of revenue instead of losing 15% to Airbnb or Booking.com.
Multi-Location Hub
Manage Lekki, Ikeja, or Ibadan units from one login and one view so you are not switching between chats, notes, and half-remembered updates.
Automated Checkout Reminders
Never miss a checkout again. StayOps automatically emails guests and hosts 24 hours before checkout — reducing no-shows and last-minute chaos.
Professional Invoice Generation
Automatically generate tax-compliant invoices with VAT breakdown (7.5%), bank details, and professional branding. Every invoice meets Nigerian tax requirements and builds guest trust.
One-Click Invoice Sharing
Send invoices to guests instantly via WhatsApp, Email, or copy link. No manual PDF attachments — guests receive professional invoices in seconds, improving payment compliance.
AI Staff Coordinator
StayOps intelligently detects guest checkouts and auto-creates cleaning tasks. Assign staff with one click, and our smart WhatsApp links let cleaners mark tasks complete — no app downloads needed.
Revenue & Occupancy Analytics
Track your earnings, occupancy rates, and property performance in real-time. Export reports for accounting or investor updates.
Mobile-First Dashboard
Manage your business from anywhere. StayOps works perfectly on phones and tablets — because Nigerian operators are always on the go.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
How is StayOps different from just using WhatsApp? ▼
WhatsApp is great for chatting, but terrible for organizing a business. StayOps gives you a centralized dashboard, automated reminders, revenue tracking, staff coordination, and professional guest portals — all while still letting you message guests via WhatsApp with one click.
Do I need technical skills to use StayOps? ▼
Not at all. We handle the entire setup for you — property configuration, workflow setup, and team onboarding. You'll be up and running in under 24 hours.
Can I use StayOps if I'm managing properties from abroad? ▼
Absolutely! StayOps is built for diaspora owners. Get real-time visibility into bookings, automated guest communication, and peace of mind — all from your phone or laptop, anywhere in the world.
How does the cleaning staff coordination work? ▼
StayOps automatically creates cleaning tasks when guests check out. You assign cleaners from a dropdown, and they receive WhatsApp messages with START and FINISH links. No app downloads needed — cleaners just tap the links to mark tasks complete.
What if I want to cancel? ▼
No lock-in contracts. Cancel anytime. Plus, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee: if StayOps doesn't save you time, we'll refund your setup fee.
Do you offer support in Nigerian time zones? ▼
Yes! Our support team is based in Nigeria and available via WhatsApp, email, or scheduled calls during WAT business hours.
