AtomStay

AtomStay is the phone half of a hotel's property management system: the work that happens standing at the front desk rather than sitting at one. Open it and the day is already there — who is arriving, who is in house, who is leaving. Tap a guest to see the stay, the room and the contact details, and check them in without walking back to a computer. WHAT IT DOES • Today's arrivals, departures and in-house guests, searchable by guest name, room number or booking reference • Check-in with the paperwork Indian hotels have to keep: where the guest has travelled from, which identity document they presented, and photographs of the guest and of both sides of the document • A location stamp recorded with every check-in • Walk-ins — find which rooms are genuinely free tonight and at what rate, then turn that into a guest, a booking and a check-in without leaving the screen • Check-out that either marks the room for cleaning and raises the housekeeping task, or puts it straight back on sale. Which one is a setting, per property • Housekeeping as a list of rooms to clean and a list already done, one tap from started to finished • An overview of occupancy, rooms free, rooms occupied and rooms waiting on a clean BUILT FOR A COUNTER, NOT A DESK > Every screen is meant to be read at arm's length and worked one-handed, with a guest standing on the other side of it. Check-in is numbered one to four and says in plain words what it still needs, rather than leaving a greyed-out button to be puzzled over. The camera and your location are asked for at the moment they are used, never at launch. ACCOUNTS > Accounts are created by your hotel on the web at atomstay.com. There is no sign-up inside the app, because it holds a hotel's guest records rather than an individual's. The hotel owner creates each member of staff and chooses which property they can see. PRIVACY > The app shows one hotel's own bookings, guests and rooms. It carries no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
