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
StayOps can automatically email guests and hosts ahead of checkout, reducing missed follow-ups and last-minute coordination. Starter retains manual and one-click reminder workflows.
Professional Invoice Generation
Generate professional invoices with VAT breakdown, bank details, automatic numbering, and clear payment information — ready to share with guests by WhatsApp, email, or link.
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.
Automated Cleaning Coordination
Pro and Enterprise can auto-create cleaning tasks from checkouts and send WhatsApp task notifications. Starter still includes manual cleaning-task management and staff coordination.
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, booking and guest records, staff coordination, reporting, and professional guest pages — while still letting you message guests via WhatsApp with one click. Pro and Enterprise add deeper automation such as automated checkout reminders.
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? ▼
Starter lets you create and assign cleaning tasks, coordinate staff, and use WhatsApp START/FINISH links without asking cleaners to install an app. Pro and Enterprise add automated cleaning-task creation from checkout activity and automated task notifications.
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.
