Founding 50 Property Pilot · Now Reviewing Applications

Built for independent hotels, hotels transitioning from a franchise, and owners ready for a more modern operating model.

Built for Hotel Owners

Built for Hotel Owners. Not Software Buyers.

OpenStay was created around real operational challenges faced by independent hotel owners. We believe technology should support the business — not become another business to manage.

OpenStay evaluates the property, develops a property-specific operating roadmap, coordinates the appropriate systems and support, and continues measuring progress over time.

Operator First

Built around the day-to-day reality of running an independent hotel — not around a software roadmap.

Property Specific

Every hotel has different markets, guests, and goals. We build around your property, not the other way around.

Managed Implementation

We handle the operating layer so ownership doesn't have to become a technology department.

Long-Term Partnership

A steady operating partner focused on ongoing execution, refinement, and results over time.

Founding 50 Property Pilot

We're Selecting 50 Hotels — Not Selling to 50 Hotels.

Every property is different.

That's why we're intentionally limiting the first group of participating hotels.

This allows us to provide a higher level of onboarding, implementation, and long-term support.

Why Owners Choose OpenStay

One coordinated operating layer, built around your hotel.

OpenStay is not another franchise.

OpenStay is not another management company.

OpenStay is not simply another PMS.

OpenStay provides the managed operating layer behind independent hotels — bringing together technology, visibility, operations, implementation, and ongoing support into one coordinated strategy.

Every stronger hotel begins with an honest look at where the property stands today.

The guest experience begins before the room — with visibility, trust, and a confident arrival.

The right operating support helps the property work more consistently behind the scenes.

Clear reporting helps the owner see what is working, what needs attention, and what comes next.

Property-Specific Strategy

Every Hotel Is Different.

Not an Off-the-Rack Solution.

Most hospitality technology companies sell software.

OpenStay builds a property-specific operating strategy.

Buying software alone is like buying a suit off the rack.

It might fit. It might even look good.

But every hotel has different markets, different guests, different technology, different operations, and different goals.

OpenStay begins by understanding the property first.

Then we build around your hotel — not the other way around.

Technology alone doesn't improve a hotel.

Execution does.
